The holiday season is finally behind us. After weeks of gorging on decadent meals and a debaucherous New Year’s Eve to cap off the celebrating, it is time to focus on restoring a healthier balance as you start the New Year. With this in mind, could there be a better time to refine your skin care beauty regimen?
California does not experience the cold, blistery winter found in other parts of the country, but the elements will still take its toll on your skin if you do not take the proper steps to nurture and protect it. The doctors at La Jolla Cosmetic Laser Clinic have some simple winter skin care recommendations to help you look and feel your best.
A facial massage is an easy way to maintain radiant, glowing skin, and you can perform this yourself at home. Make loose fists with your hands and use your knuckles and fingertips to knead, roll, and drum life back into your skin. This action will boost the supply of nutrients and oxygen to your skin, and it can improve the performance of your regular skin care products. For maximum effectiveness, give yourself a facial massage every other day.
A nourishing mask is also a great way to brighten, clarify, and lift your skin. You can make your own nourishing mask at home. Using a mixture of honey, olive oil, and natural yogurt once a week will help keep your skin vibrant.
If you would like to reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles in 2013, La Jolla Cosmetic Laser Clinic offers several minimally invasive, nonsurgical options to help you achieve your goals. You can choose from wrinkle relaxers such as BOTOX® Cosmetic or Dysport. These treatments will temporarily paralyze your facial muscles, preventing them from contracting and forming wrinkles.
If you prefer to restore lost facial volume while reducing the appearance of wrinkles, then you may want to consider one of our dermal filler options. We offer a wide range of treatments, including:
