October is a good time to reassess your skincare routine as Queensland moves further into spring and warmer weather.
Here are five simple ways to give your skin some extra attention this month.
UV exposure is a major contributor to skin damage and skin cancer. In Queensland, UV levels can be high throughout the year, so sun protection should not be limited to beach days.
Use appropriate sunscreen and combine it with protective clothing, a hat, shade and sunglasses when outdoors.
More products do not necessarily mean better skin. Review your current routine and consider whether you actually need every product you are using.
A simple routine that suits your skin may be easier to maintain.
Notice any new or changing spots, persistent rough areas, unusual pigmentation or other changes in your skin. If something concerns you, consider having it assessed rather than assuming it is simply sun damage.
Pigmentation, redness, uneven texture and changes in firmness can have different causes. Professional treatments such as skin peels, LED Phototherapy, BBL HERO, ClearSilk, HALO and other skin treatments may be considered depending on individual suitability.
A professional consultation can help you understand your skin concerns and discuss appropriate skincare or treatment options.
This October, make skin health part of your spring routine.
At Dr Umed Cosmetics, consultations are available to discuss your individual skin concerns and suitable treatment options.
Individual results vary. Treatment suitability, potential risks and expected outcomes will be discussed during your consultation.
