As children, our skin needs very little care -- just cleaning, moisture and, of course, sun protection. But as we age, beginning in our thirties, our skin begins to behave differently. Moisture content starts to diminish, and collagen production begins to slow down. Also, the elastic fibers in the skin begin to give way and are replaced at a slower rate, creating the visible signs of aging.The concepts of prevention and maintenance must be started at the earliest time possible, to wake the skin and stimulate cellular function and collagen production. In our office, with the help of products from SkinCeuticals, we can start a program of cleaning, toning and moisturizing, and offer sun and environmental protection. As the skin slows its natural cycle of repair, we can also restore those vitamins which can active and restore cell function.
Some of my favorites are: Hydrating B5 Gel to enrich the skin, and vitamin C and E Ferulic to take advantage of the healing effects of vitamin E, and the exfoliating properties of vitamin C. Finally, vitamin A over the long term is the most effective of all to wake up the skin and stimulate cellular function. Retinol from SkinCeuticals is very effective and well tolerated for daily care. And for those who need greater help and have controlled dryness, prescription strength vitamin A preparations such as tretinoin (Retin-A) creams and gels are a proven step.
We know that the majority purchase their skin care products from retail stores, and this is why we have put in place a simple and effective program with SkinCeuticals to see you through your thirties and beyond. Prevention with cleansing and sun protection, and maintenance with hydration, exfoliation and the right concentrations of vitamins, especially vitamin A, can give you a lifetime of skin health.
