Ask the Expert: Skin Care 101

Q. With so many skin care products on the market how do I choose?
A. The short answer – ask your Dermatologist or Nurse Specialist. Just like our tax laws, changes are constantly being made in “true corrective” products. In my opinion, anything that isn’t FDA approved is a waste of money because they lack the science and the desire to submit to the rigors of our FDA. Remember, the FDA is there to protect us. So get your skin evaluated, spell out your goals, get started and be patient. Real skin change starts to occur in about 6 weeks. Still plenty of time to refresh and rejuvenate before the holidays.

Q. What’s a product you think every one needs?
A. . Besides a great sunscreen I would have to say an eye cream that aids in tissue restructuring. We sell several FDA approved brands and I love them all! Stop by for a complimentary consultation. I’ll help you choose the right one.
