Jumping Into Spring Break with Beautiful Skin
Spring break is upon us, and family travel plans and collegiate freedom are ringing in the air. As popular tourist destinations begin to fill up with visitors, it isn’t too late to start a spring break skincare routine to get skin looking fresh and fabulous! Ashy skin, acne, and rosacea can improve with professionally diagnosed and treated care from a reputable dermatologist. If you suffer from these or other skin conditions that make you uneasy about spring and summer attire, get ready to overcome those skincare challenges! One of the most important things anyone can do to help their skin look its best is to stay hydrated, inside and out, and always apply daily sunscreen.
Attack ASHY Skin for Spring Break Outfits
Ashy skin, although not a medical condition, is common among those with darker skin tones. Ashy skin is dry skin patches on dark skin, which is why the skin appears gray or ash colored. The discoloration can be more noticeable on the elbows and knees, and some will avoid wearing anything that exposes these areas to avoid embarrassment. Today, there are effective treatments that allow those with concerns about ashy skin to embrace the warmer weather and the outfits that come with it.
Ashy skin is dehydrated. Dehydration can occur inside the body, where it shows on the skin’s surface, or outside in dry conditions, leading to extreme dryness. As we emerge from a harsh winter and freezing temperatures, many people will suffer from dry skin. Dry skin can get bumps and feel rough; thin lines can crack if not cared for, and once the skin breaks, infections and scabbing can occur. Anyone can have ashy colored skin, and anyone can treat the condition. Ashy skin is not a reflection of a person’s hygiene, but it can negatively affect a person’s confidence and opportunities to enjoy time out during this well-deserved break. Using a moisture product, or a medicated topical cream from a professional dermatologist, can quickly yield results, just in time for spring break attire.
Rid Your Skin of ROSACEA and Embrace Spring
Rosacea affects more than 16 million Americans, according to the National Rosacea Society. Most people, even those with the condition, don’t realize they have it until a licensed professional diagnoses it. People may appear to have red faces, flushed cheeks, or mini breakouts in these red areas. Although some people think flushed cheeks People may appear to have red faces, flushed cheeks, or mini breakouts in these red areas. Although some people find flushed cheeks attractive, rosacea can be embarrassing and cause psychological distress. In extreme cases, the skin condition can appear as patches of red bumps on the chin, cheeks, nose, and forehead. In some cases, the blood vessels are also visible, and the eyes can become watery and irritated.
The cause of rosacea isn’t known yet, and although it can be treated, it isn’t curable. Many skin conditions and diseases are not curable. Still, dermatologists continue to explore treatments and solutions to help clients enjoy their lives to the full without being held back by the symptoms of a treatable skin condition. It is easier to enjoy the activities during spring break when you are not worrying about how your skin looks when you get excited or nervous!
Annoying ACNE Be Gone for Spring Break
Children, teens, and adults suffer from acne. Acne is highly treatable, and some people will suffer more from the skin condition than others. Some teens never experience acne, while others can face bullying and embarrassment from the signs. A daily skincare routine that includes gentle cleansing, hydrating products, and regularly changing the pillowcase can do wonders for some acne symptoms. However, some suffer from extreme cases, and it can take an emotional toll and prevent them from enjoying activities with others. Instead of suffering through acne, individuals can visit a local dermatologist for facials, skincare products, and other non-invasive treatments to achieve clearer skin in a very short window. If you act quickly, you can see a visible improvement within two weeks of your office visit!
What Goes In Will Come Out
Any experienced dermatologist will tell clients that how they care for themselves will show up on the skin, more for some than others. Often, a slight lifestyle change can have a big impact on the skin’s appearance. More hydration, using sunscreen and avoiding sunburn, regularly washing and caring for the skin, and making food choices can help achieve better results. Fried foods and any food allergies will intensify symptoms of any skin condition.
