New Year’s is an opportune time to create resolutions—especially as it relates to achieving healthier skin! Now is the perfect time to revamp your skin care routine and create positive habits for healthy, radiant skin. Dr Duggan shares her top six skin care recommendations to embrace in 2024.
New Year’s Resolutions for Your Skin
- Regular Skin Checks
Beginning a year of healthy skin care starts with a commitment to scheduling regular skin checks with our expert dermatology providers. Early detection is key in addressing potential skin cancer effectively. Whether it’s a suspicious mole or any irregularity, catching concerns early allows for proactive measures to safeguard your skin’s well-being.
These regular check-ups empower you to stay vigilant and proactive about your skin’s health. We recommend a full-body skin check every year—more often if you have a personal or family history of skin cancer. Take the first step to healthier skin and schedule your next skin check today!
- Consistent Sunscreen Application
Make daily sunscreen application a non-negotiable part of your routine. Shielding your skin from harmful UV rays is a foundational step for preventing premature aging and reducing the risk of skin cancer. Apply sunscreen even on cloudy or winter days to protect against UV radiation. Opt for a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher to ensure full protection. Sunscreen effectiveness diminishes over time, so make sure to reapply every two hours, especially if you’re swimming or sweating. Living in our vibrant coastal community, these habits are essential to protect your skin against the sun’s intensity.
- Hydration Inside and Out
Embrace a holistic hydration-focused approach to skin care. Start by drinking plenty of water to keep your skin well-hydrated from the inside. Aim to drink at least eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day to keep your skin glowing. Beyond promoting hydration, drinking enough water supports your skin by flushing out toxins, improving blood circulation, and aiding nutrient absorption. Complement this with a moisturizing skin care routine to maintain a supple and radiant complexion. Remember, hydrated skin is happy skin!
- Cleanse Your Skin Before Bed
As we navigate 2024, let’s break the habit of skipping makeup removal before bed. Transform your skin care routine into a nightly ritual that does more than cleansing. Use a mild, hydrating cleanser, such as Cerave or Aveeno, to remove makeup and impurities without stripping your skin of its natural oils. Removing makeup and cleansing your skin nightly helps prevent clogged pores, breakouts, and allows your skin to breathe and regenerate overnight.
- Avoid Picking at Your Skin
The temptation to pick at blemishes or imperfections is a common, but harmful, habit. Resist the urge to pick at blemishes or imperfections. This habit can lead to scarring and prolonged healing times. If you’re struggling with persistent skin issues, consult our providers for personalized dermatology solutions and effective treatments.
