Our Advice For Smoother Skin

As a reputable skin clinic, we know skin better than most. Our expert dermatologists can advise you on lots of concerns, problems and general queries here in Manchester and the surrounding areas, but one of the most common things we’re asked is: how do I get smoother skin? In this post, our dermatologists will talk through their top tips for achieving skin that’s supple, soft and sexy, whatever the time of year.

1. Watch what you eat

Antioxidants are the key word here – nature’s naturally protective food sources. Dermatologists suggest eating a wide range of fruits and vegetables to automatically boost levels of antioxidants in the skin, but you can also try consuming probiotics (good gut bacteria, like the kind in yoghurts), which can help treat acne and eczema.

2. Drink plenty of water

It’s no surprise that hydrating your body hydrates your skin. Not only can it enhance elasticity (that bounceable quality in your skin), but it can also ease rough, dry patches for a smoother appearance. It’s no wonder our dermatologists swear by drinking just over a litre a day.

3. Get a good work out

Exercise can actually create more youthful skin because it boosts oxygen round the body and can tighten skin where it’s needed.

4. Stay sun safe

The sun is the biggest cause of skin ageing, from pigmentation problems to lines and wrinkles. Always wear sun protection (even in winter and whatever the weather forecast) and you’ll go a long way in halting the damage of UV rays on your skin. Our dermatologists suggest wearing SPF 30 each day.

5. Quit the habit

Smoke or drink? These vices can take their toll on skin. Smoking is another big cause of lines and wrinkles, and thanks to disrupting the body’s healing processes, can also put you at a greater risk of developing problems such as psoriasis and acne. Alcohol can also lead to skin damage and dehydration.

6. Get your beauty sleep

Yes, it’s real – so ensure you get the recommended 7-9 hours per night. Sleep is the natural window for your body’s maintenance and repair, and can encourage both blood flow and collagen production.

How we can help

2. • Dermal fillers – we love their ability to plump and boost volume and hydration in the skin. Dermal fillers can also be used alongside anti-wrinkle injections for even greater results.
   • Silhouette soft – these under-the-skin threads can help physically tone and tighten the skin’s appearance, and simply dissolve over time. Silhouette soft is a much less invasive alternative to a surgical face lift with equally impressive results.
   • Anti-wrinkle injections – as mentioned, these can also treat lines and wrinkles and create a more relaxed, refined appearance.Here in Manchester, we have a range of beauty and aesthetic treatments that can take your skin back to its smooth appearance.
