Wexford Skin Clinic is 2 Years Young!!!
It’s no secret that we’ve always been a fan of our close neighbour Belinda Kehoe of Wexford Skin Clinic and after just recently moving into their larger, glitzy new premises on Wexford Quayfront we asked Belinda to tell us a bit about her approach on how to truly have healthy skin.
Obviously our main aim is to achieve results for our clients, whether it’s Acne, psoriasis, rosacea or plain old dull skin, we have many tools to achieve our clients goals.
We view the Skin as a multi-layered organ and we treat those many layers with a Feed, Fortify, Finish approach.
Skincare From The Inside
As summer comes ever nearer it’s natural to start thinking about skin health and about how to look our best for the months of better weather and outdoor leisure. Any drive towards improving skin health should start with a nutritional assessment. Are we eating right to feed the skin and, if not, how can we change that? Are we drinking enough water for hydration? Are we exercising enough to promote proper elimination through the other channels because, don’t forget, the skin is our largest organ of elimination? Are we smiling enough? I believe it’s a way better facial exercise than a grimace😀
What follows is a bit more specialist as we take you on a tour of the supplements that science has shown to be beneficial for different aspects of skin health and what we can realistically expect from them.
Collagen is the most predominant protein in the human body and studies show that taking a collagen supplement literally ‘plumps up’ the skin’s dermis layer improving skin elasticity and hydration and improving wrinkle depth into the bargain.
Hyaluronic Acid, which can absorb 3,000 times its own weight in water, is an important hydrating agent for the body’s tissues. It has a high daily turnover so large amounts may be needed for maintenance. The decline in Hyaluronic acid which accompanies aging has been proposed as a causative factor for the dryness and wrinkling that is characteristic of aging skin.
