Three Mistakes You are Making with Your Skincare

With the rise of social media, it’s almost impossible to fish out what skin care advice is sound and what is clickbait. There are hundreds of crazy recommendations out there but Vitalia, Northern Virginia’s leading MedSpa, is here to help keep you from making these three most common skin care mistakes:

Shying Away from Sun Exposure

Your screen isn’t glitching, you read that right! Not all sun exposure is bad. Of course, too much exposure to the sun can cause damage to the skin and worsen wrinkles over time, but some sun exposure can actually help keep your skin clear and avoid breakouts. The sun can help with acne flare ups by drying out sebum. We know the importance of protecting your skin from harmful UV rays, so we recommend a balanced approach. Enjoy some sun exposure in short exposure lengths and moderation.  

Neglecting Professional Treatments

Prioritizing a monthly facial is one of the greatest gifts you can give to your skin. Vitalia’s customizable facials are incredible in helping clients achieve their individual skin care goals, whether that be softer, brighter, clearer, or more youthful looking skin. Our expert aestheticians can assess your skin's unique needs and tailor each facial to address your desired results.

Ignoring Dietary Impact

I know, I know, we all love cheese, but too much dairy can wreak havoc on your skin. Dairy products can lead to increased oil production and inflammation, causing breakouts and acne. Links have also been made to the hormones in dairy disrupting the natural hormones in your body leading to hormonal breakouts.

Skin care can be daunting, but with a clean diet and customized treatments you can achieve the glowing and clear skin of your dreams. Let Vitalia Med Spa’s experts help you, schedule a consult with us today!
