When it comes to your skin, it’s important to take the necessary measures to keep it looking healthy and fresh. The older you get, the more your skin ages. Though this is perfectly normal, you can slow the aging process with the right skin care routine, including moisture, vitamins and sun protection. Learn about the many ways you can care for your skin below and consider getting an IV for anti-aging help.

How to Maintain Healthy Skin

There are numerous quick and simple ways to achieve and maintain beautiful skin. Consider implementing these tips into your everyday routine.

Stay Hydrated

Drinking lots of water is a sure way to hydrate and revitalize your skin. Sufficient water intake reduces the risk of dull skin, wrinkles and prominent pores. Drinking water also improves your skin’s elasticity, which means it’s less likely to crack and develop blemishes. Drink the recommended eight glasses of water a day to keep your skin looking fresh.

Use Sunscreen

Ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun can harm your skin and result in faster aging, including wrinkles and age spots. That’s why it’s so important to protect your skin by applying sunscreen. Sunscreen should be applied daily, regardless of the weather. Experts also recommend wearing sunscreen even when indoors, since UV rays can travel through windows.

SPF 15 is effective in preventing skin damage, but SPF 30 is recommended. Be sure to reapply your sunscreen every two hours, and consider buying mineral-based sunscreens to add another layer of external protection. Don’t forget to apply sunscreen to hands and feet, which are often overlooked.

Cleanse and Moisturize Regularly

Washing your face regularly with a gentle cleanser and applying a hydrating moisturizer afterwards is the simplest way to help keep your skin looking young and blemish-free. Find a cleanser and moisturizer that best suits your skin type and avoid anything with harsh chemicals or irritating fragrances. Using a gentle exfoliant can help dissolve dead skin cells that cause skin to look dull, just make sure you don’t over-exfoliate, which can damage skin.

Use an IV for Anti-Aging

Vitamins are incredibly important in maintaining soft and supple skin. Not many people know that IVs are excellent sources of the vitamins, nutrients and fluids our bodies need to keep skin healthy. IVs are more fast-acting than regular multivitamins because they deliver nutrients straight to the bloodstream. These fluids and vitamins bypass the digestive system and become available for immediate use.

At Arizona IV Medics, most of our IV packages come with vitamins that contribute to healthy-looking skin, including vitamin C, zinc and B vitamins.

These are just some of the many skin care benefits that IV vitamins provide:

• Protect the skin from UV damage
• Keep skin firm
• Help with cell renewal
• Prevent aging
• Reduce blemishes

If you’re looking to achieve visibly healthier skin, book our Myers’ Cocktail IV, which is specifically made to improve skin health.
