The Importance of Good Skin Care Habits

Good skin can make a huge difference in your physical appearance.  Taking care of your skin can help you to make sure that you do everything you can to look fresh, rested, and young.  Taking care of your skin is also beneficial to your health as well.

The Importance of Good Skin Care Habits

One of the most important habits that you need to practice for good skin care is to make sure that you avoid getting sunburn or that you otherwise avoid too much exposure to harmful UV rays.  First and foremost, you want to stay out of tanning beds, as this type of concentrated UV rays can be especially dangerous. If you want to have a tanned glow, the best way for you to get that glow is to get a spray tan or a fake tan so you are not using a tanning bed to expose your skin to damage.

Your skin could also be exposed to damaging UV rays outside of a tanning bed when you go outside. As you go about your normal day, you could find yourself getting more sun than it is healthy for your skin to get. To avoid this, it is a good idea to wear lotion with sunscreen, foundation with sunscreen, or simply to make putting on sunscreen a part of your normal morning routine.

When you wear sunscreen on a regular basis and you protect your skin from the harmful rays of the sun, this can help you to significantly reduce the chances that you might develop skin cancer. Skin cancer is a common type of cancer that can be fatal if it is not treated in a timely manner and the cancer spreads.  It is worth wearing sunscreen just for the skin cancer prevention impact alone.

While wearing sun screen and avoiding tanning beds are both important to your health, doing these things also matters to your appearance as well. If you get too much sun, this will make it more likely your face will develop deep wrinkles. You could also develop unsightly age spots, which you don't want to do.  Wearing sun screen on a regular basis and taking good care of your skin can help your skin to stay tight, clear, and wrinkle free for longer so you won't have to worry about looking your age.

Good skin care habits are also about maintaining an overall healthy body. Drink plenty of water to keep your skin (and body) hydrated and try to eat good healthy foods rather than eating greasy junk food which could contribute to causing breakouts on your skin.

Maintaining healthy skin is something you should try to do every day.  If you do end up developing a mole that looks like skin cancer or if you are not happy with the appearance of your skin, you should seek a medical professional with experience in the field of dermatology to find out what your options are for testing for and treating cancer and/or for improving your skin's appearance.

What is CoolSculpting, and Could It Help You Eliminate Stubborn Fat?

Do you have areas of unwanted fat? Have you ever wondered if there is something more than diet and exercise but less than surgery or liposuction? You certainly are not alone; many people are unhappy with the appearance of their body. If you find yourself in this position, you may want to look into CoolSculpting to see whether this could work to help you feel more confident about the way you look.

CoolSculpting is a non-surgical procedure cleared by the Food and Drug Administration as a method of permanently reducing and eliminating fat that cannot be achieved through diet and exercise. This procedure is approved to treat pockets of fat on the abdomen, flanks, thighs, and below the chin.

CoolSculpting is a unique procedure that involves freezing fat through cyrolipolysis. Fat cells in the body will freeze at temperatures higher than it would take to freeze the surrounding (non-fat) tissues. As a result, it is possible to use a controlled cooling device to precisely target fat cells and induce natural cell death for those specific cells without damaging other tissues or structures of the body. Your body will slowly eliminate the dead fat cells over several weeks, and as this happens, you will begin to look more sculpted and feel better in your clothing.

CoolSculpting must be performed by a trained and experienced professional who can help to develop an individualized treatment plan that is appropriate for you. Working with a Certified CoolSculpting Specialist, you will select the specific areas on your body where you have stubborn fat that you want to be eliminated. During the procedure, you are free to relax and check your emails, read, or take a nap because you will not feel discomfort during the process.

CoolSculpting is a non-surgical and non-invasive procedure that requires no downtime. You can resume your normal daily activities including work and exercise immediately after completing the procedure. Your results will begin to show as early as three weeks with your most dramatic results being visible one to three months after the procedure. Once these cells have been eliminated, if you maintain a healthy lifestyle your body should not regrow new fat cells. CoolScupting is not a weight loss treatment; it is a permanent solution for fat reduction. When fat is removed from the body by CoolSculpting, we see an overall improvement in the appearance of our body rather than weight loss.

CoolSculpting is a great choice for many who struggle with stubborn fat and who want to feel happier about the way they look but who do not want to undergo a surgical procedure. Contact a Certified CoolSculpting office to learn more.
