Hey there, beautiful! St. Patrick’s Day is just around the corner, and while you might be thinking about green outfits, shamrocks, and maybe finding a pot of gold, let’s talk about something that’s not about luck at all—your skin!
We’ve all heard the saying, “Good skin is just luck,” but the truth is, having glowing, healthy skin isn’t about crossing your fingers or hoping for good fortune. It’s about the work you put in. While genetics may have given you the starting point, everything else—your skincare routine, diet, hydration, sleep, stress and exercise—is up to you. So, this St. Patrick’s Day, let’s leave the luck to the leprechauns and take control of our skin.
Genetics: The Hand You’re Dealt
Just like a roll of the dice, your genetics determine a lot about your skin—whether it’s oily, dry, or prone to certain conditions. But don’t think of this as the end of your skin care story! While we can’t change the cards we’re dealt, we can make smart choices based on what we know about our skin and allow those choices to alter our end results. Instead of relying on “lucky” genes, you can work with your skin to enhance your skins health and vitality.
Skincare Routine: Your Everyday Skin BFF
When it comes to skin, there’s no pot of gold hidden in a bottle of cream—just consistent care and the right products! The foundation of great skin is a solid skincare routine. It’s not about using every product under the sun, but about finding the right ones that work for you. Here’s your lucky skincare lineup:
Cleansing: Start with a gentle cleanser that suits your skin type. Avoid anything too harsh that could strip your skin of good oils and bacteria.
Serums: Target specific skin concerns with serums. They are concentrated ingredients to give your skin just what it needs for support and revision.
Moisturizing: Even if your skin is oily, never skip a good moisturizer. Hydration is your skin’s best friend.
Sunscreen: Think of sunscreen as your shield against UV rays. It’s your everyday insurance for youthful skin, and it’s the easiest thing you can do to protect yourself.
Don’t forget the little weekly gems like exfoliants, peels, and masks are key. These treatments provide your skin continued support, encouraging proper cellular turnover, addressing specific concerns with at-home peels, and delivering soothing hydration through masks. Dermed offers a fantastic selection of peels and masks that target any skin issue, and their Micro Crystal Polish is like finding the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow—you won’t be disappointed with this sweet trio!
In-Clinic Treatments: When You Want That Extra Boost
Sometimes, even with the best routine, you might want a little extra help—and that’s where in-clinic treatments come in. Whether it’s a facial, a chemical peel, micro needling, dermaplaing or a combination of treatments, these can target specific concerns and take your skin to the next level. But remember, there’s no magic treatment that replaces the work you do at home. These treatments are an amazing addition, but they aren’t the “luck” you need—they’re more like your skin’s secret weapon!
Diet: Your Skin Reflects What’s on Your Plate
No amount of good fortune can replace a healthy diet. What you eat affects your skin, and lucky for you, you have total control over it! Focus on antioxidants (like berries, spinach, and kale) and healthy fats (like avocados, coconut oil, nuts and seeds) to feed your skin from the inside out. Omega-3 fatty acids, like those in salmon, are also great for keeping your skin nourished.
Supplementation is usually necessary for most, Advanced Nutrition Program Skin Omegas boost the skins hydration by 40%, and decrease wrinkle depth by 24%. Anchovy oils harvested off the coast of Peru, boast potency and purity that your skin will love, paired with SYB6 probiotics for youthful skin are a beautiful combination. And just like you wouldn’t trust a leprechaun to give you good skin, don’t trust sugar and processed foods to keep your complexion clear! Too much sugar and processed foods can cause breakouts and accelerate aging, so it’s best to enjoy it in limited moderation.
Hydration: Drink Up for Radiant Skin
While you might be dreaming of a rainbow leading to a pot of gold this St. Patrick’s Day, the real treasure for your skin is water! Hydration is one of the most important things you can do for your skin. When your skin is hydrated, it looks fresh, plump, and glowing. Water also helps with everything from acne to fine lines. So, drink up—your skin will thank you!
Wrap Up: It isn’t Just Luck
Great skin isn’t about hoping for a little luck from the leprechauns—it’s about consistent habits, and giving your skin the care it deserves. This St. Patrick’s Day, don’t rely on luck for a glowing complexion; take charge and do the work. With a little effort, you can have the healthy, beautiful skin that makes you feel like you’ve found your own pot of gold.
