McLean, VA (WUSA9) — No matter the season, healthy skin is always in style. Board certified Dermatologist Dr. Hayre from Cosmetic Dermatology Center has tips on how to keep your summer glow all year round.
Master your home routine. If you don't take care of your skin at home, you can't expect your dermatologist to fix all your issues. Apply SPF not only in the summer, but all year round. If you have skin damage from past sun exposure, brightening serums can diminish it.
Come to the consultation with an open mind. You may book your appointment thinking you need Botox because that's what you hear everyone gets. But Botox isn't a remedy for all imperfections. If you've lost volume in your skin, you may need a filler instead.
Microneedling is a good substitute for laser treatments. If your only skin concerns are noticeable pores and fine lines, laser treatment isn't necessary. Microneedling can tighten up pores and improve the appearance of those lines. The skin is numbed and with a device that resembles an electric toothbrush, circular motions are made on the face. You'll probably experience some pinkness right after the procedure, but within two days your your skin will be healed and looking fresh.
There's more to brow game than pencils and brushes. Full eyebrows are a beauty trend that's here to say. If you over-plucked in the 90s and can't get the Lily Collins look now, don't fret. Microblading is a semi-permanent procedure in which a trained technician will insert pigment into your eyebrows using a blade. It can last up to two years, and you won't have to worry about filling in your brows as part of your makeup routine during that time.
