By taking these steps, you can reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles, minimize old acne scars, limit the look of sunspots, and reduce redness. Maintaining healthy, glowing skin can help you look and feel your best throughout 2023. When you look your best, it encourages you to feel your best too. Protecting your skin can improve your mood and health, so why not get started today? Here are six ways to rejuvenate your skin in 2023.
1. Get ready to hydrate.
One of the best ways to rejuvenate your skin is to think about hydration. This means both inside of your body and out. To start with, you should drink plenty of water. Drinking enough water each day has a strong link to maintaining healthy, happy skin. You should try to drink about one and a half ounces of water for each pound that you weigh each day. When you drink this much water, you will help your skin stay fresh and flexible. Drinking plenty of water helps with your overall health too! When it comes to the outside of your body, make sure to use plenty of moisturizer. Find a moisturizer that works for you based on your skin’s condition and use it at least twice a day, once in the morning and once at night. To better protect your skin, consider using a moisturizer with sunscreen in it.
2. Get excited to exfoliate.
To encourage your skin’s rejuvenation, make sure to regularly exfoliate. Your skin naturally sheds dead cells regularly. Sometimes, they cling to your body and refuse to leave. These dead cells create a dry, flakey layer that needs to be removed. When you exfoliate regularly, you help shed these cells and expose the fresh skin underneath. This is even more important during cold or dry weather, which effects your skin and causes it to dry out too. The best way to exfoliate is to get an exfoliating scrub or cleanser. There are also exfoliating tools or loofahs that can help. Use lukewarm water and rub the scrub in circular motions for around 30 seconds. After you’re done, rinse your skin completely. It’s important not to over-exfoliate, though, as you don’t want to damage the fresh skin underneath the dry, flakey skin. Try to limit exfoliation to two to three times per week.
3. Kick a smoking habit to the curb.
Smoking creates a home environment that can cause pre-mature aging and greatly impact the condition of your skin. The chemicals and additives in cigarettes degrade the elastic fibers and other tissues in your skin as well. It also adds to the stress in your cells, causing them to degrade faster. If you regularly smoke, quitting in 2023 can be a goal to help improve the health of your skin and the rest of your body too. If you’re looking to quit, it’s a good idea to join a support group or try smoking cessation products that can help you along that important journey. Good luck!
4. Cool down your bath water.
Hot water can strip your skin of its natural oils and damage it over time. That’s why it’s better to wash, shower, and bathe in lukewarm water. Especially when you’re washing your face, opt for cooler water. If you really do love a hot bath, make sure to counter the affects of the hot water by choosing soaps that have coconut oil, shea butter, or almond oil as those can help bring back your skin and rejuvenate it for 2023.
5. Wear sunscreen every day, even in the snow.
UV damage is also a huge factor in dulling your skin. A great way to protect your skin is to wear sunscreen daily. Even in cloudy or cold days, sunrays still hit your skin. In fact, UV rays can reflect off of snow and impact your skin that way too. Choose sunscreen with a decent SPF or pick a moisturizer that includes sunscreen. This is even more important if you spend a lot of time outside. Use sunscreen liberally ever day.
