Beauty is now attainable by many beyond the rich and famous thanks to exciting new aesthetic technologies and products. BOTOX® Cosmetic injections are the #1 cosmetic procedure performed in America is. While BOTOX® is an excellent method for treating deep lines and wrinkles, many people rely too heavily on the injections to solve their skin problems. The most important investment you can make in the health of your skin in a high-quality skin care line. Good skin care is important even at an early age. Skin care products may not give surgical results, but they are an inexpensive way to achieve a more youthful look by correcting and protecting your skin. Most women can attest that finding a quality skin care line that works well with your skin can be a daunting task. Images arise of rows and rows of products at the drug store or miles of counters at the department store. Which one should you choose?
Fortunately, the task is getting easier. Many family doctors, dermatologists, and plastic surgeons now carry higher-quality, physician-directed lines. Look for a line that is pharmaceutical grade. This means that the ingredients used are put under the same scrutiny as medications. Also look for lines where the ingredients are concentrated. This may mean that the initial investment will cost more, but the products will last longer. A concentrated ingredient also indicates that the product will probably be more effective and produce longer-lasting results. In addition, products that are in serum format are more readily absorbed and absorb to a level in the skin where they are able to affect skin condition. As always, do your research. Any skin care line worth purchasing should have statistical evidence and research evidence to support their claims and ingredients used.
Finally, the #1 thing you can do for your skin is wear sunscreen every day. Look for a product that has high concentrations of zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. These ingredients provide a physical barrier to the sun which reflect and refract the suns’ damaging rays. With any sunscreen, reapplication throughout the day is absolutely essential to ensure complete protection. We recommend Colorescience®’s powder sunscreen, Sunforgetable SPF 30. This is a pure mineral product utilizing multiple ingredients that provide layers of a physical barrier. In addition, the powder format allows for easy reapplication throughout the day and greater compliance by clients of all ages and gender. Please feel free to talk to your doctor or contact our office with any questions. Our goal at Mile High Family Medicine is to have you “Feeling good, Looking good.”
