6 Healthy Skin Habits
for Any Age!
Hello, friend! I’m Eden, Licensed Esthetician and owner of Eden Hunt - Skin Therapist, LLC in Florence. We are a skincare studio that offers facial treatments, massage therapy, sugar hair removal, and brow and lash services. As an Esthetician, I specialize in customized skincare regimens and facial treatments. My goal is to give every client a personalized and effective treatment that will leave them with healthy skin and the confidence to match! I love to educate my clients on the importance of keeping their skin as healthy as possible! I'm sharing six tips on how to keep your skin healthy at any age!
#1 Wear Your Sunscreen
#2 A Customized Skincare Routine
If you ever see me at the pool or by the beach, I’m ALWAYS under an umbrella with a coverup on, covered in sunscreen! Why? Because 99% of aging comes from sun exposure. Not to mention skin cancer is the most common cancer in the United States. Crazy right? SPF is the most important skincare product that you can use on your skin. You should be using sunscreen every single day, even if it’s cloudy or cold outside.
With the influence of social media, it’s easy for us to get caught up in the influence of bloggers and celebrities. Don’t get me wrong! I am easily influenced and will “swipe up” in a skinny second to purchase a blogger's favorite purse or sweater, but skincare is a different story!
Sunscreen is made to protect your skin from the sun’s radiation. UVA rays contribute to signs of aging such as wrinkles and loss of elasticity. UVB rays are known as “burning” rays and are the cause of sunburn. When choosing an SPF, I always recommend a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least an SPF 30 or higher. Broad-spectrum will protect your skin from both UVA and UVB rays. Always reapply your sunscreen every 80 minutes and don’t forget your hands! Product recommendation: My two favorite sunscreens are Circadia Light Day Sunscreen and Elta MD UV Clear Sunscreen.
Everyone’s skin is different! What works for Sally, might not work for you, and that’s okay! We all have different skin types and concerns. A personalized skincare regimen for your skin will not only help keep your skin healthy, but can also help correct any skin concerns you have such as aging, sun damage, redness, acne, and blackheads. I highly recommend booking a skincare consultation with a licensed esthetician to help you create a customized skincare plan specifically for your skin! Don’t forget, consistency is key! Certain ingredients might take longer to see results. Use your customized routine morning and night to see your best results!
Pro Tip: Skincare is an investment! When choosing skincare products,
skip the drugstore and department store. Unlike drugstore and department store skincare, professional and medical-grade skincare products are formulated with potent and effective ingredients for best results! 40
