I read an article re: sun damage and it mentioned some of the products you can use. I want to know if I can get all of them in one product? Or do I have to buy several diff. ones. For example- they listed recommendations for whats the best sunscreen, antioxidants, glycolic acid, retinoids, night repair...so I dont know if I have to buy a product that has all of them, or 2 products or buy products with each thing listed individually. Im mainly looking for a great moisturizer/sunscreen that will make my skin look great- not age me.Skin care- help!?
Over the counter products don't really have enough concentrated levels of these helpful ingredients to make a huge difference. If you really want products that will make a difference, consult with your dermatologist. Most of this stuff is marketing hype in which they are trying to get you to spend loads of money on loads of products that really don't make a difference. Retin A from your dermatologist will make an impact, as it is the prescription strength that can really penetrate deep and make changes. Your dermatologist can recommend the best products to ensure you don't over buy or buy non-reputable brands that say they are dermatolgist tested %26amp; approved that in reality, no one has ever heard of. In general, some of the better ';over the counter'; skin care products are available through medical Estheticians, like Dermalogica, etc. If a spa and medical esthetician doesn't use it, it's probably another fly by nite phony brand. Drug store %26amp; department store brands just won't cut it. They cannot put enough of a concentrated amount in the brand that would make a difference, because it's really Rx strength that works. Best of luck finding what is best on your skin type.Skin care- help!?
Fistly, you'll have to determine what kind of skin condition you have. Oily? Dry? or Combination? Secondly, you'll also need to determine if you have any special needs such as acne, or sensitive skins, or ageing?
Personaly, i have combination skin, which means oily in the T-zone area, and hence i use a light moisturiser that helps moistens my skin. I also use a separate sunscreen with an SPF of 25 to protect my skin from the sun.
So, it all comes down to what type of skin you have, and then you can venture into brands such as Clinique Clarins, Shiseido and Lancome. They have quite a good range of moisturisers and sun screens. Also, you'll notice that many moisturisers do come together with a sunscreen, such as a low SPF of 10 or 15, which is insufficient. Get a sunscreen with atleast an SPF of 25 as this could last for longer hours during the day, without having to reapply.
From personal experience, it's better to use a separate moisturiser and sun screen. It's more effective and less oily.
Dorit Baxter Day Spa, NYC, suggests to use one moisturizer with SPF 15 everyday. You should apply the moisturizer after showering and leave it on your skin all day long. You can apply makeup over the moisturizer if you wish. However, if you are going to the beach or on a boat, you should get a moisturizer with SPF30. Night cream should be applied only if you are over 30 years old and depending on the climate you live in. For instance, in the cold weather, you need more moisturizer.
