By the Book: Exfoliation
By the Book: Exfoliation
Exfoliation offers a simple way to get your skin to look like it’s younger than its years. Literally defined as the removal of layers, exfoliation supports the natural process of skin cell shedding. When we’re young, our skin cells turn over every 28-30 days, giving skin that healthy-looking, fresh glow we associate with a youthful appearance. Over time, this process of epidermal renewal slows, so much so that by the time you’re 40, it could take 50+ days for the outermost skin to turn over. When dead cells don’t slough off as rapidly, your stratum corneum gets thicker, appearing almost stale, and the dead cells can pack into your pores, making them look larger. This is why exfoliation is so important—it assists the natural shedding process and reveals the newer, fresher skin cells below.

The Race for Great Skin ….
The Doctor is in … Slow and steady wins the race for great skin!
By Dr. Kathy Fields
Every year the “theme” of the holiday season at my office is the same: panic! Come December, patients are suddenly impatient to get party-perfect and picture-perfect skin. In an effort to look fantastic for the holidays, many jump from salon treatment to salon treatment. But often their efforts backfire and soon their skin is inflamed from too much aggressive attention, a condition dermatologists call “Tandem Irritation,” and they end up in my practice searching for solutions to calm their skin.
If you find yourself treading similar waters, the key is to take a step back and restore your skin’s barrier. Incorporate skin-soothing products that contain clinically proven ingredients to fortify skin’s natural moisture barrier, calm visible redness and reduce irritation.
While it’s tempting to consider jumping for holiday specials, when it comes to skincare, remember—slow and steady wins the race. Real results come from consistent, daily application of clinically proven products. So limit the aggressive holiday skin treatments and stay on track with skincare tailored to your special needs.

Habits that Haunt: Sleeping with Your Makeup on
Habits that Haunt: Sleeping with Your Makeup on
Aside from ruining your linens, sleeping with your makeup on means that you skipped your nightly skincare routine and missed out on your skin’s best rejuvenation hours. Skin is most receptive at night, which means your skincare products work harder for you while you sleep. Take it from us, consistency is the key to achieving healthy-looking skin. Do your best this holiday season to stick to your nightly skincare routine … your great skin will be the best gift you give yourself.
