Why Skin Glows

The extra glow that you will notice after receiving a revitalizing facial from one of our expert Estheticians is generally caused by two things: 

Increased Circulation

Consider what your skin looks like after you work out. Even after you take a shower, you still have that glow about you. When your skin has access to an increased blood supply, that blood is flushed to the surface and makes your skin appear glowing and rosy when the light reflects on it.

Increased circulation is beneficial for your overall health. It helps regulate your body's temperature and allows more waste and toxins to be carried to the sweat glands. They are then cleared out and cleansed via your sweat. And, by the way, pregnant women glow because they generally have naturally increased circulation.

Renewal of Skin Cells

When skin is smooth enough to reflect light, it glows. Dead skin cells build up on the surface and diffuse that light, making your skin appear dull and rough. Younger people, kids and teenagers, glow more readily because their skin cells regenerate every 28 days.

Unfortunately, as we age, the process of skin renewal slows down. Our diet, quality of sleep, health, hormonal changes, and medications can also affect the way our skin renews itself. In fact, it can slow the process down until it takes several months to occur. Our skin becomes less reflective as a result.

Keep it Glowing

While natural factors can certainly play a part in whether or not our skin glows, there are things we can do to ensure we keep the glow. Most important is leading a healthy lifestyle. Quit smoking and start drinking water regularly and eating balanced, nutritious meals.

Speaking of diet, besides simply eating better and healthier, there are specific foods to include in your regular diet. Consider adding foods that are rich in Omega-3s to keep your skin glowing longer. Some foods that are great for that include: seafood, brown rice, tomatoes, fish, berries, and green tea.

Finally, don't forget to get the proper amounts of sleep and exercise. While sleeping, your body releases human growth hormone which is responsible for the production of collagen and cell renewal. It gives your skin the elasticity and youthful look you desire. And, exercise helps improve circulation which is good for the glow!
