Many new products and treatments dealing with skin care are coming in the market. They claim to make you fairer, give healthy, glowing skin, prevent wrinkles etc. But dermatologists and skin care experts; these claims are unsubstantiated and totally false. They recommend the following products to take good care of your skin:
Waterproof sunscreens with high SPF level: Sunscreen with a high SPF provides protection against sun damage and skin cancer. Sweat, swimming and washing your face with water erases the sunscreen. Hence choose sunscreens or cosmetics with high SPF and are waterproof.
Cleansers: Use cleanser instead of soap because cleanser is mild. Soap strips your skin of moisture, causing aging. This can aggravate the sun damage. Cleanser will clean your skin properly and make you feel fresh. One of the best cleansers specially recommended by skin experts is Cetaphil.
Eye creams and treatments: The skin below and near the eyes is very delicate and sensitive. This makes it prone to wrinkles, crow’s feet and dark circles. To remedy this problem, choose products and treatments manufactured by Hydroderm. Their products are good moisturizers and can reduce the puffiness around the eyes. You will notice the difference in a short time. These products are a must for any skin care regimen.
Retinoid or retinol creams and lotions: Retinol, derived from vitamin A, has been successfully used in anti-aging treatment. Now you can enjoy the benefit of this ingredient from retinol creams and lotions that are flooding the market. These products treat color and pigmentation problems, wrinkles and sun damage. Use these products as per the manufacturer’s recommendations or according to your doctor’s advice.
Alpha-hydroxy, beta-hydroxy and TCA acids: These ingredients refreshes your skin, changes the pH level of your skin to prevent the growth of bacteria and acne and clears away the dead and damaged skin. Alpha-hydroxy (glycolic acid) and Beta-hydroxy (salicylic acid) work effectively on the oily skin. TCA is moderately strong acid and is ideal for skin care.
