The questions we are asked all the time, how do I repair my summer skin? If its melasma or UV damage you have, the first thing we need to do is to stop further damage taking place.
An effective skin care regime such as Obagi system’s prepares the skin before targeting all the pigmentation. It contains naturally anti-aging ingredients such as vitamin C and vitamin A, which help to repair and correct the skin. These ingredients can have a huge impact on the health and function of your skin. Vitamin C is a very potent antioxidant that helps fight free radical damage. But prior to this preparation of the skin it is crucial to cleanse, scrub and oil control. Regular exfoliation will remove dead skin cells, speed up cellular turnover, increase cell renewal and help these products work more efficiently, we recommend a combination of microdermabrasion and gentle peels if possible so that they become part of your regular skin care system.
Wearing at least a SPF 30 daily is essential, whilst we can’t turn back the clock, and for a lot of us the damage is already done, it is crucial to protect your skin from any further UV damage, this needs to be worn every single day, summer and winter.
