Last year, Americans paid for over 15 million dollars on cosmetic procedures, up 5% from the year before and an astonishing 87% since 2000. The most common of these procedures is Botox.
Of course, we're not dismissing Botox but we do want to remind our customers that they can avoid the needle by sticking to a smart everyday skincare regimen. There are three important things you can do to help your skin look your best, and the first is – you guessed it – to moisturize every day.
Moisturize
Moisturizing your skin daily is one of the best ways to help prevent fine lines and wrinkles from getting a foothold, but if you're older and some damage has already been done, don't despair. You can buy a moisturizer that uses stem cell technology, like H2V's Youth Cell Activator. Stem cell activators combine with other age-defying ingredients to erase fine lines and wrinkles and to plump and moisturize your skin. The results are dramatic, and they're fast too – you'll see a drastic difference in as little as four weeks.
Get A Monthly Facial
To moisturize at an even deeper level, consider adding a monthly facial to your beauty routine. Facials have dramatic and immediate effects on the appearance of your skin, and those effects last. That’s because facials clean and moisturize deeply, and a 4-Layer Resurfacing Facial from Burke Williams Spa is a great one to try. Our treatment uses natural ingredients like pineapple, papaya and blueberry to soften and hydrate your skin. Although these natural ingredients are gentle, they’re incredibly powerful. Give it a try and you'll see a serious reduction in blemishes and wrinkles.
Eat Right
Finally, few things affect your skin’s appearance more than your diet, so ditch the junk food and reach for lots of fruits and veggies, with some lean meat on the side. Fruits and vegetables are loaded with antioxidants, and if you want to protect your skin against the kind of damage caused by free radicals – wrinkles and fine lines, among other problems – it all begins with what you eat. Antioxidants prevent cell damage. They’re your body’s best friend.
Follow these three tips and you're sure to see a dramatic transformation in your skin, without the need for injections. If you're still interested in Botox, be sure to research your potential provider online using a ratings website. You definitely want to do your homework. After all, it's your face, and your face matters.
