The Summer Glow and how to get it!

Sunshine, vacations, laying by the pool–summer ’16 is finally here. Of course though, summer also means showing off more skin in the hot, long days…and dealing with makeup melt-down!

The biggest skincare trend this year is glowy, dewy skin. We’ve written other articles about how to nourish skin from the inside, but today we are going to talk about how to achieve the ultimate summer radiance with a few of our tips and RajaniMD Prescription Skincare products. Get ready to “glow from within”.

So, what is that glow? Dr. Rajani always educates people about light reflection. Young people have smooth, wrinkle-free skin that reflects light. As we age, our skin develops texture irregularities, fine lines and wrinkles. On top of that, the amount of collagen in the dermis has also diminished–the stuff that holds all that wonderful moisture in the skin making it plump and supple. Simply, the skin loses its ability to reflect light. Other things can also play a factor, such as dehydration or congested pores.

The good news is, regardless of age and quality of the skin, we can still get you on your way to having beautiful light reflection for the summer and seasons to come. These tips will also allow you to wear less makeup! (which is super great for those really hot days)

The first tip is to keep the skin properly exfoliated. The dermis is constantly building new layers and naturally exfoliates itself on the surface. Up close, the skin is covered in dead, flaky skin. There are also pores, hairs and wrinkles. To make the skin look as smooth and radiant as possible, it’s important to help the skin exfoliate thoroughly and evenly, without damaging live skin and causing inflammation. This can be done easily with your home care routine with the RajaniMD Antioxidant Serum with Retinol. This proprietary blend of antioxidants, hyaluronic acid, silk peptides and prescription-strength retinol balances skin texture, fades away lines and wrinkles, and keeps the skin smooth and clear. Another great benefit is that it promotes collagen synthesis within the dermis.

The next tip is to use a rich moisturizer in the morning containing peptides and oils to hydrate the dermis and plump it back up. This will help minimize fine lines and combat dull-looking skin. The RajaniMD Advanced Firming Complex is a top-seller and works for all of the skin types. Containing essential nutrients and powerful peptides, this product absorbs easily into the skin and brings it back to life. Another great product for those with ultra dry skin would be to use the RajaniMD Ultra Moisture.

Our last tip is to wear SPF 30 or higher–every day. UV ray exposure is a real danger and also ages the skin prematurely and shows itself in brown spots, thinning skin and wrinkles. The RajaniMD SPF 30 Age Defense takes all the problems away! The best thing is, this SPF is different than those available on the shelf next to you in the checkout line. Dr. Rajani created this special SPF 30 while keeping his patient’s lifestyles in mind. He produced his SPF 30 with moiturizers, antioxidants and vitamins A, D, E and C! This product also doesn’t leave that whitened appearance, and it doesn’t fight with you when you’re applying–so no balled-up, rolling pieces! Wait for approximately 10 minutes before applying makeup or go el natural!

When adding these few products to your daily routine, you’ll see how easy it is to get glowy, dewy skin for summer! To keep up with Dr. Rajani, follow him on his YouTube channel or make an appointment at his practice in the beautiful Pearl District of Portland, Oregon.
