The winter months can be extremely harsh on skin. With whipping winds and drier air, the face can take quite a beating. Moisturizing is essential during this time, as it keeps the outer facial layers hydrated while reaching the deeper layers as well.
Taking care of your skin is important, and with the right steps, simple. Before you start a routine though, keep the following information in mind for men’s skincare.
"We believe patients should take a hard look at improving their skincare routine."
Understanding your skin is essential. What does this mean? First, determine if your skin is sensitive, especially when trying new products or considering a new course of treatment. After this, figure out the type of skin you most likely have, such as dry, oily or a combination of both so you can treat specific concerns.
"Every good skin care routine should follow three simple steps: cleanse, treat and prevent," said Amy Derick, MD, FAAD, clinical instructor of dermatology, Northwestern University. "Sunscreen prevents wrinkles, sun spots and even skin cancer, making it the most effective skin care product you can buy."
At Marotta Plastic Surgery Specialists, we believe both men and women should take a hard look at their skincare and how it can be improved. Even with the best products, routines and understanding, skin often still has a mind of its own.
For men, we have many skin-related procedures available to enhance appearance and delay apparent signs of aging. These include facials, microdermabrasion treatments and even laser hair removal.
