Blog > Skincare Awareness Month Skincare Awareness Month By Alex Watkins 6 min read 24th September Skincare Awareness Month is the perfect time to focus on your skin health. Your skin is your body’s first defence against the environment. How you care for your skin can have long-term effects on your overall well-being and dramatically impact signs of ageing. At MediZen, we’re dedicated to helping you achieve glowing, healthy skin through expert advice and advanced treatments tailored to your needs. Why Does Skincare Awareness Matter? Your skin faces challenges everyday from UV rays, pollution, stress and ageing. Without proper care, these factors can lead to various skin concerns such as: Premature ageing: Fine lines, wrinkles and age spots appear sooner without regular sun protection and hydration. Acne and breakouts: Clogged pores and excess oil production can cause blemishes and breakouts. The right routine can reduce them. Dryness and dehydration: Lack of moisture leads to a compromised skin barrier. This can cause irritation, flakiness and dull looking skin. Sun damage: Exposure to UV rays can contribute to long-term skin issues. This can include hyperpigmentation as well as an increased risk of skin cancer. By regularly taking care of your skin, you can prevent these issues occurring and maintain a youthful and healthy complexion. Essential Skincare Tips To help you make the most of Skincare Awareness Month, we recommend following these simple yet effective skincare tips. Cleanse Twice Daily Start with a gentle cleanser to remove oil, dirt and makeup. Cleansing twice a day, in the morning and at night, keeps your skin clean and prevents clogged pores which can lead to acne and irritation. Freshly cleansed skin will also ensure your makeup sits on your face more smoothly. Moisturise Regularly Keeping your skin hydrated is important for all skin types. Use a moisturiser with hydrating ingredients to help lock in moisture and maintain a healthy skin barrier. This is especially important after cleansing as washing can strip your skin of natural oils. The type of skin you have will have an impact on the level of hydration your skin needs. Exfoliate Your Skin Exfoliating helps to remove dead skin cells, allowing fresh and new cells to surface. This helps to improve skin texture, unclog pores and boost your skin’s complexion. However, avoid over-exfoliating as it can cause irritation to your skin and damage your skin barrier. Consult a Skincare Professional If you’re dealing with persistent skin concerns such as acne, pigmentation or ageing signs, seeking professional advice can help. We also offer a range of skincare products and treatments for those without specific skin concerns who are just looking to maintain good skin health. MediZen offers personalised skincare consultations and advanced treatments to target specific concerns. Professional Skin Treatments at MediZen At MediZen, we offer personalised skin treatments. They are designed to work alongside medical grade skincare to address specific concerns such as acne, pigmentation and rosacea. Some of our most popular treatments are: Hydrafacial: This treatment cleanses, exfoliates and deeply hydrates the skin. It is ideal for all skin types and leaves your skin glowing. The Hydrafacial is perfect if you’re looking for a non-invasive treatment with no downtime. Chemical Peels: Chemical peels are a fantastic way to improve skin texture, complexion and reduce signs of sun damage. They work by exfoliating the top layer of skin, revealing a smoother and more even complexion. We have a range of peels available so we can tailor treatment to your specific skin concerns and skin type. Microneedling: This treatment stimulates collagen production to reduce fine lines, acne scars and improve overall skin texture. By creating tiny micro-injuries, microneedling encourages the skin to heal and regenerate, revealing a more even, glowing complexion. These treatments are fully customised by our expert practitioners to suit your individual skin type and goals.
