The skin loses its youthful appearance and develops blemishes, large pores and wrinkles due to natural aging, repeated exposure to sun, and certain unhealthy habits such as smoking or drinking. The effects of Ultraviolet rays of the sun on skin can damage the elastin fibers and create pigmentary changes. This damage occurs in the cellular level and sometimes these cellular changes can degenerate into cancer producing cells. Taking care of your skin, is therefore not only something that will make you look healthier and more youthful, but will also help you fight the damaging effects of sunlight that may eventually cause skin cancer.

There are several products on the market today that help rejuvenate and protect the skin. Many of these products are combined with Retin-A to produce the desired result. The choice of product will depend on the severity of your skin problem and your life style. If you have minimal signs of aging and sun damage you may not need a full regiment of skin care products. On the other hand if your skin is badly damaged and prematurely aged, you may need to use the full spectrum of creams and lotions to help you revitalize your skin. Your doctor can help you decide which line of products to choose and to what extent you need to use it.

Acne prone skin can be a difficult and frustrating problem for many individuals. The treatment of Acne prone skin may not only require skin care products but also oral medications to suppress the growth of new lesions. Individualized care plans are often needed to treat these patients.

Although there is some initial discomfort and peeling with the use of medical grade skin care products, the ultimate result is well worth it. Many patients who start on these products are not compliant with the regiment and soon give up because of the peeling. This initial peeling is a necessary evil however, and you cannot get the skin to become healthy unless you peel the dead skin cells. After the peeling stops the new healthy skin will be smoother, have smaller pores and fewer wrinkles and blemishes. There is no recovery time involved in using these products. If you need a light chemical peel in addition to the products, you may want to take off from work for 3 or 4 days. In this period of time your skin will shed most of the top layer of dead skin cells. When you use skin products combined with Retin-A you must protect your skin from direct sunlight.
