4 Tips for Perfect Skin

The skin is your largest organ. Like other organs, your skin also needs to be well nourished. This keeps your skin in optimal condition and prevents discomfort, such as dehydration, scaly skin, pigmentation, stretch marks, wrinkles or rosacea. But how do you keep your skin in optimal condition? Cosmetic doctors Frodo and Freek give you a few tips:1. Protect your skin from the sun, even on cloudy days We probably don't need to tell you that too much sunlight is not good for your skin. Sunlight breaks down collagen, making your skin weaker. In addition, UV rays cause damage and you run the risk of developing pigmentation or, even worse, skin cancer. A slight burn takes at least four days to recover. But did you know that your skin can also be damaged on a cloudy day? This is because clouds block the sun's heat, but not harmful UV radiation. So always apply a protective factor or use a day cream with UV protection. Of course, on a cloudy day, you don't have to walk around with the sun factor 30. Factor 15 is sufficient in this case. 2. Hydrate your skin, both internally and externally You can recognize dry skin by flakes and the development of dry lines that can become permanent wrinkles in the long term. We recommend drinking enough water daily, around seven to eight glasses a day, but it's also important to hydrate your skin externally. Hydration from within alone is not enough and drinking enough water is sometimes forgotten. At Clinic Dr. Frodo, we recommend the SkinCeutics brand, which offers products that maintain your skin's moisture levels well. 3. Microneedling with a home roller Sagging skin benefits from a regular microneedling treatment. Bee microneedling many tiny holes are made in your skin using a roller with 200 fine needles. The small holes that occur increase the absorption of active ingredients from creams and serums. In addition, your skin is stimulated to produce collagen and elastin and gets better circulation. This makes you feel tighter and wrinkles become less visible. Microneedling also helps against other skin discomforts, such as couperose, stretch marks, pigmentation and scars. You can apply this technique yourself at home. With our home roller, you can keep your skin in condition every week. The roller can be used twice a week for one year. The needles on this roller are shorter and finer than those used in the clinic. As a result, the microneedling treatment that you perform at home is almost painless. 4. Glycolic Acid Peeling Do you have dull skin that looks grey? Too many dead skin cells can be the cause of this. It is wise to give your skin a peeling treatment regularly. This removes dead skin cells and makes your skin better able to retain moisture. We recommend glycolic acid peeling because glycolic acid attracts water. In addition, glycolic acid consists of very small components that penetrate deeper into the skin. Glycolic acid also protects your skin against UV radiation. The result of this peeling is radiant and smooth skin. You can make your skin more even at home with the help of a good scrub. After a scrub treatment, it is wise to moisturize your skin with a moisturizing mask. For a glycolic acid peel, you must visit a professional cosmetic clinic. At our Doctor Frodo Clinic, we work with Neostrata, a glycolic acid peel created by the founders of cosmetic dermatology.
