Clear skin plays an important role in your overall health. The experts at our compounding pharmacy near Studio City know that your skin is affected by many factors, including your environment, your diet, and your health. Here’s how you can have glowing, vibrant skin in just three steps.

1. Stay Hydrated

Your outside appearance is directly related to your internal health. In order to keep your skin looking fresh and clear, it is important to stay hydrated. When we get dehydrated, our skin becomes dry and prone to wrinkles. Drinking more water allows our bodies to get rid of toxins that contribute to the formation of imperfections like acne. The more hydrated we are, the more vibrant our skin appears. This leads to a youthful appearance and makes wrinkles appear less prominent.

2. Exfoliate

Gently exfoliate your skin to slough off dead skin cells. Exfoliation helps unclog our pores, get rid of dark acne marks, and increase blood circulation. Exfoliate about twice a week with gentle exfoliants like oats or brown sugar to see these benefits for yourself. Use these products on both your face as well as the rest of your body to achieve clear, soft skin. Be careful to avoid over-exfoliating, as this can lead to skin irritation.

3. Moisturize

After washing your face, it is important to apply a light moisturizer. Applying moisturizer is highly beneficial, even if you have oily skin. People with acne often avoid moisturizing their skin due to the popular misconception that the best way to get rid of acne is to dry the skin. In reality, the opposite is true. When our skin is too dry, our oil glands overcompensate by producing more oil. This oil production can lead to acne. When we apply moisturizer, we balance out our skin’s moisture level and keep our oil glands from becoming overactive. Consider adding a light moisturizer into your skincare routine. Look for moisturizers enriched with vitamins, alpha hydroxy acids, or witch hazel to nourish your skin.
