Summer skin booster treatments and clean girl aesthetics

Gen Z refer to it as the “clean girl aesthetic”, but however you label it, healthy dewy skin is a look that never goes out of fashion. However, as we age it can be harder to achieve that radiant summer glow effect. Our skin becomes duller, less plump and firm. But as the aesthetic experts at YourGP reveal, it is possible to get that glow back with the help of a skin booster treatment.

Summertime skincare

When the sun makes an appearance, the thought of wearing heavy make-up can be less than appealing. But for some people, the thought of facing the world wearing nothing but a slick of suncream on their face can feel daunting.

A good skincare routine of cleansing, toning and moisturising every morning and evening can go some way to brightening the complexion. And there’s a lot to be said for staying hydrated too – drinking around 2litres of water a day can help to flush out toxins, boost circulation and improve elasticity, giving your skin a much healthier appearance.

However, if you think you might need a little extra help recapturing that youthful glow this summer, the skin booster treatment at YourGP could be the answer.

The glow begins from within

The skin booster treatment at YourGP involves injecting targeted areas with a thin hyaluronic acid gel. This boosts hydration levels deep within the skin and stimulates the body’s natural production of collagen and elastin, resulting in firmer, more elastic skin. It also helps to plump the skin to minimise fine lines and wrinkles and improve skin texture.

This treatment is suitable for all skin types, however those with more mature skin are likely to see more significant results.

Get ready for summer

A little redness and swelling should be expected post-treatment, but this should naturally subside after just a couple of days. To maximise your treatment results, we advise for the first 24 – 48 hours you:

• Avoid touching the treated area
• Don’t wear make-up
• Avoid doing any strenuous exercise
• Avoid any intense heat such as very hot showers or saunas
• Staying hydrated
• Avoid alcohol

Follow this advice and the results of the treatment can then be expected to last around three months, so there’s no reason why you can’t embrace the bare face clean girl aesthetic all summer long!
