LIVING WELL By Robbie McDaniel, RN
HEALTHY SKIN: From wrinkle reducers and dark spot correctors to hydration, we’ve got you covered. In the world of aesthetics, the skin defines our look of health, vibrance, and beauty. How we treat and maintain our skin is essential to ward off the effects of personal and environmental stressors associated with everyday living and typical aging. Many factors besides age and heredity contribute to fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and loss of elasticity to the skin. These include prolonged sun exposure, pollution, free radicals from cigarette smoke, poor diet, stress, gravity, and obesity, as well as fat and bone loss, to name a few. Nevertheless, a proper skin care regimen and the appropriate products can improve the skin's overall tone, texture, and health and even reverse the signs of aging!
