Thankful for Healthy Skin: 5 Easy Habits That Make a Big Difference
As the season of gratitude arrives, we believe it’s the perfect time to pause and appreciate something that is commonly overlooked: our skin.
Our skin protects us, heals us and is a direct reflection of our overall wellbeing.
At La Fleur Aesthetics, November is all about celebrating healthy skin and remembering the simple habits that keep us glowing all year long.
Below are five easy, mindful steps that can transform your complexion and support your skin’s long-term health – perfect for embracing the holiday season.
-
Stay Consistent with Cleansing
Healthy skin starts with clean skin. A consistent cleansing routine will help remove makeup, dirt and buildup that can clog pores and lead to dryness, inflammation, breakouts and even those pesky fine lines and wrinkles.
Choose a cleanser that works best for your skin without stripping its natural oils. Double cleanse at night and once in the morning with warm water and enjoy the ritual of giving your skin a fresh start every day!
*Your cleanser sets the tone for the rest of your routine so be sure to treat it as your first act of self-care each day.
Favorite Cleanser- Hydrinity Prelude Facial Treatment Cleanser. It delivers a deep, effective cleanse without disrupting the skin barrier.

Stay Hydrated Inside and Out
Cooler weather and indoor heat can increase your skin’s dryness quickly. Boost your glow by hydrating. products such as hyaluronic acid, barrier-repair moisturizers and hydrating serums are always a good start.
*Hydrated skin is plumper, smoother and more resilient.
Favorite Moisturizer- La Fleur Aesthetics Luxe Replenishing Cream. This is the perfect winter hydrator by not feeling heavy or thick but ensuring your skin is soft, supple and glowing through the cold months.

Always Keep Up with Sunscreen
If you’re thinking the sun is weaker in the winter months and you do not have to apply as much sunscreen, think again! UV damage doesn’t disappear when the temperature drops and your sunscreen should always be a part of your every day self-care routine to ensure you maintain healthy, youthful skin.
