Beyond the Products

Have you ever wondered why your "promised-results" products just aren't working?  It may be because your overall lifestyle isn't supporting a healthy mind and body. Dr. Rucker emphasizes the importance of leading a healthy lifestyle. "You can use the best products in the world, but if your habits are unhealthy, your skincare probably won't work." Dr. Rucker goes on to describe examples of the worst ways to treat your skin. These include getting too little sleep, smoking cigarettes, excessive alcohol intake, poor nutrition, skipping sunscreen, sunbathing, or tanning indoors. 

The following tips will ensure you are supporting a healthy mind and body: 

  • Hydrate- Dr. Rucker recommends 8-10 glasses per day to hydrate and brighten your skin while making it healthier and younger.
  • Diet-  Hidden in those brightly colored fruits and veggies are tools your body needs to repair the skin.
  • Sleep- The skin's prime time to repair itself is while you are asleep, don't stop your body from doing that!
  • Quit- Bad habits such as smoking and drinking make your body and skin vulnerable to bacteria and infections, while also encouraging aging of your skin.
