There are many reasons to not like our skin. Rough patches, wrinkles, Rosacea, scars, acne, blotches, discoloration and age spots are some of the most common reasons people have laser resurfacing procedures performed. Fortunately there are new products coming out on the market that are a vastly improved to help solve some of these problems before deciding to have laser resurfacing performed.
AHA exfoliating cleaners contain glycolic acid. Using this cleanser with oily skin unclogs pores very effectively. It gets rid of acne in older people and can be used with any skin type as an alternative to an in office facial peel procedure.
Instant elasticity essential nutrient facial cream is like a secret weapon of the beautiful people. It can get pretty expensive, but it's worth it. This cream plumps up cells and makes skin look years younger. The formula for this product is different than older creams. This means it's a new product to the market, but is catching on very quickly with manufacturers and should hit main stream markets soon. It is available through some plastic surgeons' websites, but not many other places yet.
Vitamin C serum is another surprising skin product that isn't well known. Some surgeons use it to soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles instead of doing laser resurfacing and facial peels. The serum reduces redness and helps the skin heal after sunburns. It can even lighten skin blotches and discoloration.
Rox Spa has a really good new product called Mend that treats Rosacea. A lot of Rosacea treatments burn like crazy and aren't that effective. When you stop using them the problem comes back again too. Mend is supposed to be really effective though, so I can't wait to try it.
The best defense against the early signs of aging is moisturizers and cell plumper, getting lots of water and vitamins and staying out of the sun. There are a lot of anti-aging serums out there and range in price from cheap to steep. Neutrogena products are always good and are on the cheap end. If you are looking for something a little higher end and sensitive skin friendly, try the Rox Spa line or Jay Calvert line. You can find those at .
If you use these products mentioned above, most likely you will decide to save yourself the pain, suffering and costs of cosmetic procedures. If these products don't work though, you probably should have a procedure like laser resurfacing or a facelift or eyelid tuck performed. Dr. Calvert performs some of the best plastic surgery Beverly Hills has seen in years, and he also creates some pretty good skin products. You can check him out at the link above.
