One of the most common aesthetic end goals is youthful, healthy skin \u2014 and rightly so. It is, after all, the largest part of our body and a highly protective organ. That said, our skin is exposed to daily stressors such as ultraviolet rays from the sun and could affect skin health. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fret not! Because sun damage is reversible. Read on for more facts on other modifiable factors you can work on for healthier skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sun damage is not always visible to the naked eye<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Especially in Singapore\u2019s climate, we experience all year round summer sun. Sunlight consists of a spectrum of rays of varying wavelength. The longer the wavelengths, the more likely it can penetrate deeper into the skin and can cause damage that is not visible to the naked eye. In fact, all our UV ray exposure accounts for 80% of our skin\u2019s ageing<\/a>.\u00a0[1]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How so? The short-wavelength UV rays will interact with the skin and generate highly reactive free radicals. These excessive free radicals can cause cell damage, which also causes skin ageing and heightens the chances of us developing skin cancer.\u00a0[2]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is why it is paramount to apply the right amount of sunscreen daily to protect your skin. SPF30 and above is generally sufficient when applied in the right amount. Otherwise, opting for sunscreen with SPF50 or higher would allow more protection for less amount of sunscreen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the sun\u2019s already done some damage to your skin and you find yourself with wrinkles, you could consider a NeoGen Nitro-Plasma treatment<\/a>. This treatment works by using high energy level to administer plasma directly to targeted treatment areas without affecting the surrounding tissues, effectively treating early signs of ageing such as pigmentation<\/a>, age spots, fine lines and wrinkles<\/a>. The thermal energy also encourages skin regeneration and allows your skin to replace old damaged collagen and elastin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dry skin can be harmful<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As it\u2019s not always visible to the naked eye, we tend to have the assumption that our dry skin simply means we have to drink more water \u2014 it sloughs off and we move on with our day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While there is truth to this and occasionally dry skin may not be harmful to you, when not cared for regularly, consistently dry skin may lead to Atopic Dermatitis, also known as eczema. If you\u2019re prone to this condition, excessive dryness can lead to activation of the issue that will cause redness and inflammation. Having regular dry skin can also lead to infections. Dry skin that cracks could mean a compromised skin barrier, allowing bacteria to enter and cause infections. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It helps to have a proper skincare routine and to utilise daily moisturisers and hydrating creams to keep your skin hydrated, especially if your skin is more prone to dryness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You could also give your skin a quick boost with an OxyReplenish facial<\/a>. This treatment works by replenishing the skin cells with much-needed oxygen and hydration, leaving your skin supple and smooth. It is also the only treatment capable of generating 95-98% oxygen that is deeply infused into the skin, up to its germinative basal layer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exfoliation is necessary <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your skin may have dead skin build-up and clogged pores as a result of environmental stressors such as pollutants or dirt. These should be gently removed by washing your face daily and regular exfoliation. Exfoliation helps to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
