New year, new you, right?

We shed our entire outer layer of skin every two to four weeks, so technically, from the perspective of our skin, we get to renew our outer selves more often than just once a year.

But really, no matter what stage we are at along our skin journey, looking out for our best skin self is both commendable and recommendable.

So how do we make new skin resolutions and stick to them?

People have always struggled to keep up with the energy of their January goal-setting, with only 19% of folks able to actually carry their goals through to the long term.

Perhaps it is because one is not ready to change their habits, or they’re simply not being specific enough about how they’re going to achieve the target.

However, Skin Renewal believes the resolve lies in the planning…

The Best Skin Solution Is To Plan Your Goals:

First, decide where you want to go with your skin journey this year. Target specific problems, be it anti-ageing and sun damage goals, or even pigmentation treatment.

You can’t take a journey without a destination, so think about where you ultimately want to end up.

Then, just as if you’re on a real trip, break each aspect down to the nitty-gritty. In other words, break up the year ahead into smaller goals.

Some folks have trouble just starting, so in that case, a consultation with an expert medical aesthetic doctor will kick you into gear nicely.

A professional can help you navigate each step with all the right moves. Maybe you thought your acne was all about oil, but have you ever considered your intrinsic health?

Getting to the bottom of these sorts of questions is why it’s so beneficial to have the best medical aestheticians on your side.

It’s Treatment Time:

Once you and your expert have worked through what your skin needs and set the right goals, it’s treatment time.

And skin treatments do not discriminate because men also want an innovative and strategic approach to skin health.

Embrace the “Bro-Tox”, guys – injectables like neurotoxins are good for you.

Another popular and effective treatment to have for a more targeted approach is a medical peel, which lifts dead cells off the skin’s surface so products can sink in and work better.

Peels also improve texture, acne, sun damage, and congested pores, while deeper peels work on wrinkles and uneven skin tone.

When the time is right, you can even consider a high-tech facial, which FYI, is the complete opposite of your mom’s “steam and cream”.

A medical facial like the HydraTouch is device-driven, creating skin radiance and rejuvenation for that “A-game” skin.

As the festive season disappears into the rearview mirror and the reality of a new year really sinks in, think of your skin, because it is an incredible organ that deserves the best treatment.

Thankfully, with Skin Renewal, there is always a skin solution to meet that resolution.
