Dr. Z's Skin Care News - The Total
Picture - Winter 2003-2004
|
 Handle
your skin with care this winter season. Dedicate some time to good skin
care and prevent many of the cold winter ailments that affect our skin
when the air gets colder and drier.
-
Take shorter showers or baths to
keep the skin hydrated.
-
Don’t scrub your skin or scalp.
-
Apply
emollients, such as the
Skin Replenish Lotion while the skin is still
damp. It is best to moisturize within 3 minutes of bathing to lock
moisture into the skin.
-
Keep skin moisturized as much as possible to
prevent dryness which enhances lines and wrinkles, by applying a facial
moisturizer, such as the
Maximum Facial Moisturizer.
-
Exercise, drink
plenty of water and get plenty of sleep.
-
Pay extra attention to
vulnerable areas such as the elbows, heels, hands and nails by applying
the Body Revive Lotion to these areas.
-
Don’t forget the sunscreen!!
Vitamins for the skin are getting the attention they deserve. The most
popular topical vitamins are A and C. Vitamin A is an essential element to
the skin because it normalizes and controls the growth and structures of
the epidermis or upper layer of skin. Tests show that vitamin A made a
significant improvement in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and
reduced blotchy uneven skin tones. It also showed improvement in the
hydration of skin, texture, tone and clarity. With regular use of
Advantage “A” cream
you will notice a dramatic difference in your skin.
Vitamin “C” is a strong anti-oxidant and free-radical scavenger with
anti-inflammatory properties. Topical vitamin C such as the
Vital “C” Serum
(10%) or Super “C”
Serum (25%) both have many anti-aging mechanisms. It helps in the
stimulation of existing collagen and it offers photoprotection. Vitamin C
can produce smoother, younger looking skin by diminishing fine lines and
wrinkles. So, use Vitamin C in the AM and Vitamin A in the PM for best
results!!

Now is the time to make a greater commitment to your skin and how you care
for it. The skin is the largest organ of your body and is exposed to the
elements and stress on a daily basis. So, now is the time to start a skin
care regimen that will remind your skin how much you care for it.
The 3 basic skin survival steps are:
1. CLEANSE using the Gentle Blue
Cleanser
2. TONE with the Refreshing Skin Toner
3. MOISTURIZE with the
Maximum Facial
Moisturizer.

A common winter condition for some. Hard and brittle nails are common in
the winter, due to low moisture and heated air. It is especially important
to prevent this process from starting and to immediately care for it once
it begins. It is important to wear gloves to protect your hands and nails
from the elements. Be sure to avoid repeated contact with harsh
substances, such as acetone, detergents and formaldehyde, found in some
nail polish. It is also important to keep your finger nails shorter, to
avoid any serious trauma to the nail and nail bed. Treatment includes
applying a moisturizer containing urea, such as the
Body Revive Lotion
to the hands at least twice a day. In addition it is helpful to soak your
hands in water before applying the moisturizer, and then wear white cotton
gloves to bed.
