Tips for Hydrated and Plump Skin by a Dermatologist at Nititham Clinic, Phitsanulok

Everyone desires healthy, radiant, and youthful-looking skin. However, many people still hold the misconception that healthy skin must be fair and flawless, wondering how darker skin tones can achieve that same level of health.

Did you know that keeping your skin well-hydrated and plump is another effective way to promote a healthy and youthful appearance? First, let’s get to know your skin type and how you should properly care for it.

Differences Between Skin Types

Achieving healthy skin begins with understanding your own skin type. Knowing your specific skin type allows for proper care and targeted treatments.

Human skin can generally be categorized into 4 main types, which are:

1. Oily Skin

This skin type is characterized by enlarged pores and overactive sebaceous glands that produce excess sebum. The skin often appears shiny and greasy with visibly large pores. Individuals with oily skin frequently experience issues with inflammatory acne and clogged pores (comedones). The combination of enlarged pores, excess facial oil, and exposure to environmental impurities makes this skin type more prone to acne breakouts compared to others.

2. Dry Skin

Dry skin, as many people know, is a skin type characterized by dryness, flakiness, roughness, and a dull appearance. People with this skin type will notice that their facial pores are relatively small, and their face does not get oily during the day like those with oily skin. The main cause of dry skin is that the sebaceous glands under the skin produce less sebum than normal to nourish the skin.

3. Combination Skin

Combination skin does not mean that your skin type changes from day to day, but rather that different areas of your face have different characteristics. For example, a person may experience oiliness only in the T-Zone—the forehead, nose, and chin—while the cheeks or other areas have normal or dry skin.

4. Normal Skin

Normal skin is exactly as the name suggests. It is a balanced skin type with no abnormalities in sebum production from the sebaceous glands or other skin concerns. People with normal skin typically have a fine texture, small pores, and a face that is not overly oily, making the skin look consistently hydrated and plump.

How to Keep Your Skin Hydrated and Plump at Home

Maintaining hydrated skin on your own can easily start with drinking an adequate amount of water for your body’s needs and eating a nutritious diet. Additionally, it is essential to properly protect your skin from external pollution, such as:

1. Stay adequately hydrated

Staying adequately hydrated means more than just drinking 8 glasses of water a day. It also involves ensuring your body receives enough essential vitamins. Additionally, it is advisable to avoid consuming tea, coffee, or beverages with high sugar content.

2. Apply a moisturizer suitable for your skin type

Apply moisturizer both morning and evening to ensure consistent skin care. You should also choose skincare products tailored to your specific skin type to maximize their nourishing and caring benefits.

For those looking to achieve plump and moisturized skin, we highly recommend cream products containing ingredients such as

• Hyaluronic Acid
• Glycerin
• Aloe Vera
• Shea Butter

However, another crucial step you must not forget is applying sunscreen. Due to the weather conditions in Thailand, direct sun exposure without skin protection or sunscreen can be quite harmful to the skin.

3. Scrub your skin 1-2 times a month to exfoliate dead skin cells.

Scrub your skin 1-2 times a month to exfoliate old or dead skin cells. This prepares the skin to fully absorb nourishing products and also helps your skin look smoother, softer, and more radiant.

4. Cleanse Your Skin Properly

Proper skin cleansing is a crucial step. Using products that are unsuitable for your skin type can lead to various skin issues. Besides choosing the right products, the water temperature used for cleansing is equally important. Washing with water that is too hot can dry out your skin, as the heat strips away all of its natural oils.

It is highly recommended to use room-temperature water for cleansing and to choose skincare products that are suitable for your specific skin type.

Hydrating the Skin with HydraFacial Technology

Hydra Facial technology is suitable for all skin types, whether you have oily, dehydrated, or combination skin. The Hydra Facial treatment involves exfoliating skin cells and infusing nutrients into the skin using modern technology, providing effective nourishment and care.

Following the treatment, you may notice that your skin appears smoother, brighter, and more hydrated, with minimized pores. With continuous sessions, the appearance of fine lines may also gradually diminish.

However, beforeundergoing any procedure, it should be performed under the care and supervision of an experienced physician. For safety and confidence in your treatment.
