Using Harsh Exfoliants-not for Beautiful skin

“Natural” isn’t necessarily better. Physical exfoliants like ground walnut shells and apricot pits that have gained popularity in cleansers are best avoided. Their sharp, jagged edges can cause micro-tears in the skin, opening the door for irritants and infectious agents to enter the skin. If you are looking for a grainy, exfoliating cleanser, opt for a product containing small, round and uniform particles like dimethicone or polyethylene beads. Scrubs made with sugar and salt crystals that dissolve when moistened are great “natural” alternatives.

MYTH: NO PAIN/NO GAIN GET FLAWLESS SKIN

Well, yes and no. There are some in-office exfoliation procedures like chemical peels, micro-dermabrasion and lasers that yield excellent results but may require several days recovery time. At-home exfoliation products and procedures are less aggressive and, if done properly, should not result in any “down-time.”  If your attempts to “do-it yourself” cause redness, peeling, itching and scaling, SLOW DOWN. You may be overdoing it and breaking your skin’s protective barrier. Give your skin a rest and help it heal with a soothing moisturizer containing anti-inflammatory peptides or botanical ingredients. Also, don’t forget to apply a broad spectrum UVA/UVB sunscreen daily to protect your recovering skin.

I’m using the ANTI AGING PRODUCT and my skin is a little flakey. What should I do?

In this case, a little flakiness is a good sign as it indicates that your skin's metabolism is increasing and new cells are pushing old cells off as your skin renews. You simply need to help buff off old, dry skin. We suggest the ENHANCEMENTS Micro-Dermabrasion Paste for effective at-home exfoliation. This gentle and effective scrub signals skin to naturally renew itself and increase collagen production, evening skin tone and smoothing skin texture for a more youthful-looking, radiant complexion. This oil-free formula features Vitamins C & E and polishes skin with salt and sugar granules that melt away. Use ENHANCEMENTS Micro-Dermabrasion Paste one to three times a week in place of the ANTI-AGE DAILY CLEANSING MASK.

CONFESSIONS OF A DERMATOLOGIST

By Dr. Katie Rodan

Dr. Fields and I will be the first to tell you to run from the sun. That natural, sun-kissed glow may be pretty but it is hardly worth the risks of skin cancer, brown spots and accelerated aging. Just because I slather myself in sunscreen, hide under a huge hat and sport sunglasses so large they cover half my face doesn’t mean I’ve abandoned my Southern California beach babe roots in favor of a pasty white, librarian-like complexion. I want it all—especially when it comes to my skin. So here’s how I have learned to fake it:

First: Prep your skin by exfoliating: Before applying a self-tanning lotion, I scrub away dead, dry, scaly skin on my legs, chest and arms with a gentle micro-dermabrasion stick. And for a two-for-one benefit, I leave the micro-dermabrasion product on my legs for an even closer shave and enhanced exfoliation in one fell swoop. Smooth, freshly shaved and exfoliated skin ensures a uniform application of the self-tanning product.

Second: Moisturize the driest areas over your joints: Apply a thick coat of your favorite body lotion over the elbows, ankles and knees to prevent a concentrated uptake of the self tanner in areas where the skin is thickest.

Third: Apply a gradual self-tanning moisturizer for a more natural, and streak-free glow. My favorites are made by Jergens and Dove which are lightweight, full of good moisturizers and don’t smell like your average self-tanner.

These are my best tips, what are yours?

Skin is a beautiful thing … wear it well.

SPRING HAS SPRUNG! TIME FOR PERFECT SKIN

Spring has sprung, and it’s time for the annual cycle of “out with the old and in with the new.” As you clear out closets, scrub baseboards and prep the garden, don’t forget your skin. Exfoliation is like spring cleaning for your skin … kicking out the old cells to allow younger, more vibrant cells to surface.

Exfoliation is how you get your 50-something-year-old skin to behave like a 19-year-old’s, renewing itself every 28 days.
