DRwhat products or procedures have taken your skin to the next level?
you know you’re getting old when you’re flattered that your patients ask “are you old enough to be a doctor” 🥲 this is everything I did to preserve and maintain my skin in hopes of aging gracefully!
- one thing I wish I did better was more aggressive spf use at an earlier age - prevention is everything, after all!
- retinoids helped with my acne early on, but have the added benefit of collagen stimulation - so that was an unwitting slay 🤭
- cleanser for a clean base, of course, but double cleansing really changed the game.
- moisturizer to keep things hydrated because dry skin is dull, irritated, and/or wrinkled skin. you can often achieve a youthful plump with just moisturizing alone! this one is a must for me especially as a dry skin girly, but even oily skin needs moisturizer!
- adding an antioxidant was a game changer for skin vibrance - I personally love vitamin C but have been adding in additional antioxidants with each passing year lol.
- my favorite add-ons to further stimulate collagen and combat fine lines recently have been peptides, growth factors, and exosomes! it has added a few steps to my routine so I sometimes skip these on busy days where I can only do the bare minimum basics
- as for procedures, I’ve shared all this before, but recently also tried sculptra and am starting to get more curious about skin tightening! these are all things that I recommend to my patients all the time because they’re things that I would personally do and/or would want for my mother, sister, father, or fiance (though dad and Evan have yet to agree to let me do anything for them 😒)
