Revamp Your Routine: 5 Essential Skincare Habits for Healthy, Glowing Skin
At McKay Dermatology & MedSpa, we believe that healthy, glowing skin is achieved through the perfect blend of professional in-office treatments and an effective at-home skincare routine. By pairing our expert care with simple daily habits, you can enhance and maintain your results while enjoying the confidence that comes with vibrant skin. Here are five essential skincare habits to help you shine all year long.
1. Always Wear Sunscreen – Every Day, Rain or Shine
Sun protection is the foundation of healthy skin. UV rays are a leading cause of premature aging, pigmentation, and skin cancer. Make sunscreen your daily non-negotiable, applying a broad-spectrum SPF of at least 30 every morning, even when it’s cloudy.
Pro Tip: Choose a sunscreen with added antioxidants to boost your skin's defense against environmental damage. Don’t forget to reapply throughout the day if you’re outdoors!

· Eryfotona Ageless with Mineral Brush – Photoaging defense pack with natural coverage
· Fusion Mineral Body – Ultralight SPF 40 mineral body sunscreen
2. Cleanse Your Skin Properly
Cleansing removes dirt, makeup, and impurities that can clog pores and lead to breakouts. Use a gentle cleanser suited for your skin type to maintain a healthy balance. Avoid over-washing, which can strip your skin of its natural oils.
Morning Routine: Cleanse to refresh and prep your skin for the day.
Evening Routine: Double cleanse if you wear makeup or SPF to ensure a deep clean.
Product available for in-office purchase:
· Essential Cleansing – A gentle yet powerful cleansing oil with an oil-to-milk texture
3. Hydrate Inside and Out
Dehydrated skin can appear dull and emphasize fine lines. Boost your skin's moisture levels by drinking plenty of water and incorporating a quality moisturizer. Look for products containing hyaluronic acid, ceramides, or glycerin to lock in hydration.
Pro Tip: Pair your moisturizer with a hydrating serum to enhance absorption and target dryness effectively.
Products available for in-office purchase:

· Melatonik® – Overnight recovery serum with melatonin
· Hyaluronic Concentrate – Hydrating lightweight daily moisturizer
4. Prioritize Consistency with Active Ingredients
Active ingredients like retinoids, vitamin C, and peptides can transform your skin, but only when used consistently. These powerhouse ingredients target specific concerns such as aging, dullness, or acne.
Pro Tip: Start slow — introduce one active ingredient at a time to prevent irritation.
Products available for in-office purchase:
· Retinal Advanced – Night serum with retinaldehyde that reduces 43% of wrinkles
· Flavo-C Serum – Rejuvenating vitamin C serum
5. Invest in Regular Professional Treatments
Professional treatments like chemical peels, platelet-rich plasma therapy, muscle relaxers, and laser therapy are game-changers for achieving and maintaining healthy, radiant skin. These advanced treatments not only address deeper concerns and provide a much-needed reset for your complexion but also serve as powerful preventative measures. By staying ahead of potential skin issues, you can keep your skin fresh, youthful, and resilient.
For example, regular facials help keep pores clear and your skin balanced, reducing the chances of breakouts and inflammation. Chemical peels improve skin texture, lighten dark spots, and promote cell turnover, keeping your complexion vibrant while minimizing signs of aging. Laser therapies go even further by fading sun damage and stimulating collagen production, which strengthens the skin and helps prevent fine lines before they appear.
Incorporating professional treatments into your skincare routine isn’t just about solving today’s concerns—it’s a proactive investment in your skin’s long-term health and beauty.
