A consistent skincare routine in concert with regular visits to the dermatologist are helpful and invaluable for maintaining healthy, glowing skin through every age. DC Derm Docs is committed to providing you with outstanding skincare in and out of our offices. To that end, we’re here with a series of skincare tips tailored to every decade.
Fresh skin starts in your twenties and priming your skin for the years ahead is crucially vital. An ingenious tool for sustaining natural beauty and collagen (what keeps our skin looking tight and fresh) is sunscreen. “The easiest way to treat and protect your skin is with a light moisturizer that contains at least SPF 30. Ultraviolet rays prematurely age the skin, so taking an extra minute to apply a sunscreen moisturizer will give you better long-term results than any anti-aging cream,” says Dr. Marilyn Berzin.
In-office treatments to try include light chemical peels once a month. These have an array of benefits that include reducing fine lines, promoting softer skin, clearing acne, and improving the skin’s ability to hold moisture. “Chemical peels are a convenient method of pampering the skin, in addition to a home skin routine. Great skin care doesn’t stop when you leave the office – you have to be proactive in your skincare to help us out, too!” remarks Dr. Dale Isaacson.
