Solution 1: Our favourite skin care basics, I mean if you don’t already have these beauties in your skincare regime no wonder your skin isn’t glowing!
Retexturing activator Skin Ceuticals
This innovative exfoliating and replenishing serum has been clinically tested to surpass the resurfacing results of a daily 20% glycolic acid treatment, whilst helping to reinforce the skin’s barrier for healthier, more radiant looking skin.
Triple Liquid Restore 2:4:2 Skin Ceuticals
Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2 has been clinically proven to improve the visible appearance of skin smoothness, laxity, pores, and overall radiance. This anti-ageing cream is formulated with a rich concentration of lipids; 2% pure ceramides, 4% natural cholesterol, and 2% fatty acids helps to restore skin’s external barrier.
Enriched with vitamin B5, Hydrating B5 Gel replenishes nutrients skin needs to feel smooth and appear younger. This oil free moisturizer gel contains hyaluronic acid, the body’s natural hydrator, to help bind moisture to the skin. Hydrating B5 Gel complements a daily moisturizer to provide extra hydration or can be used alone as an oil free moisturizer, an ideal moisturizer for acne prone skin.
Solution 2: Lifestyle – YES! Lifestyle plays a massive part in your skincare if you are not following basic lifestyle needs this may be a reason your skin isn’t up to its best standard!
Sleep – Apart from applying sunscreen, sleep is a natural way to combat ageing signs such as wrinkles and sagging. Our skin makes new collagen when we sleep. By not sleeping enough, our skin can appear dehydrated which naturally makes fine lines more visible, especially under the eye area since the skin is thin.
Diet – Collagen, elastin, and protein are three essential things that your skin needs to stay smooth, supple, and wrinkle-free. Oily and deep-fried foods don’t have enough protein to supply to your skin. Additionally, your skin’s exposure to the sun’s UV rays also doesn’t help.
Supplements – Certain vitamins and antioxidants may improve the health and quality of your skin. Vitamins C and E, and selenium are antioxidants that may help protect skin from sun damage. Vitamin A, also known as retinol, is key for cell growth, and often used as a topical antiaging treatment.
Solution 3 – Cosmetic treatments you can have here at M&K Aesthetics.
Morpheus 8 – Winter brings with it a unique set of challenges for our skin. The low humidity levels and biting cold can strip the skin of its natural moisture, leading to dryness, flakiness, and even exacerbation of fine lines and wrinkles. Indoors, central heating further dries out the skin, making it look dull. This is where the need for an effective skin rejuvenation treatment comes into play. Also, with Morpheus8 you can not have sun exposure while you are in between treatments or even before or after. This will affect your treatment and your skin so its best to avoid this!
Skin Boosters – Skin boosters act as injectable skincare, promoting radiance and replenishing skin with hydration. Their primary ingredient is hyaluronic acid (HA), which helps the skin to retain moisture, resulting in a dewy, plumped look. In comparison with topical skincare, skin boosters penetrate deeper into the skin, beyond the surface layers, as they are injected directly into the dermis. This provides more intensive hydration and longer-lasting benefits for intensive hydration and a radiant, firmer-looking appearance through collagen and elastin stimulation.
Whilst we chase a hydrated glow all year round, winter inevitably makes this harder. With less sunlight, harsher temperatures, and drier air, our skin can become dull and dehydrated. So, specifically in the winter, we need to pay extra attention to revitalising the skin, to achieve radiance. This is how skin boosters create a solution for healthy-looking winter skin.
PRP (Vampire facial) – PRP stimulates collagen production, while the filler adds volume and smoothes wrinkles. This innovative approach provides a youthful lift without the need for surgery, making it an attractive option for those seeking a natural and lasting solution to winter-induced skin concerns.
Mesotherapy – Another highly effective option for nourishing and hydrating the skin during the winter months is to use mesotherapy. Mesotherapy is a treatment option that involves injections with super fine needles that penetrate through to the central layer of the skin. This allows vitamins and minerals to be injected at a deeper level, providing important nourishment for the deeper skin cells. This can be very effective for maintaining healthy skin throughout the winter months when the poor weather conditions like wind and rain strip the outer layers of skin of moisture. However, this treatment option will not help to tackle any dry or rough skin.
