7 Tips for Healthy Looking Skin

By Jennifer on April 6, 2010

 

With summer right around the corner I thought I would share some quick and easy tips to achieve healthier looking skin.

• Cleanse – cleansing the skin of dirt, oil and toxins allows the skin to repair itself.
• Vitamin C – using a Vit C serum every morning protects the skin from environmental damage.
• Water – drinking 6-8 glasses of water per day will help to hydrate the skin from the inside out.
• Healthy Diet – eating a diet rich in antioxidants (fruits and veggies) and lean protein (fish, nuts and seeds) produces plumper and radiant looking skin.
• Retinol – using a retinol serum in the evening helps to regenerate skin cells, targeting fine lines and pigmentation, leaving the skin looking smoother.
• Moisturize – moisturizing daily with an appropriate hydrator for your skin type protects and repairs the skin.
• Sunscreen – using an SPF of 30 or higher that is zinc oxide based daily, protects the skin from sun damage, aging and skin cancer.

All of these tips will ensure healthy looking skin all year long!

Sun Protection

By Jennifer on January 29, 2010

With skin cancer on the rise, we work hard in our office to educate our patients on how to protect their skin. Many people think that if they are not directly exposed to the sun for an extended period of time, they don’t need to wear sun protection. This is very untrue. It is extremely important to wear sun protection on all areas of the skin that will be exposed to the sun at all. This includes driving or even going for a short walk. In addition to sun protection, having a skin exam once a year by a Dermatologist is always recommended. Prevention is the best way to avoid skin cancer. To find out about our full line of sun protection that we offer here in our office or to schedule a skin exam, please contact our La Jolla office. (858)362-8800.

Happy New Year!

By Jennifer on January 7, 2010

 Torrey Pines Dermatology in San Diego would like to wish everyone all the best in 2010! I have already been asked numerous times since the 1^st of January, by many patients, what they can do to improve their skin. There is always one product that comes to mind each time I am asked that question. That product is Retinol Serum. Of course there are many other things that can help to improve the skin as well, (like other products & medical grade treatments) but I think using Retinol in your skin care routine is absolutely necessary to achieve healthy, radiant skin. Most people are unaware of what Retinol does for the skin. Retinol is essentially a pure form of Vitamin A. It easily penetrates through the top layer of the skin and moves down to the elastin and collagen layers. The ingredients work to stimulate collagen production, increase cell turnover, decrease pore size and leave a much smoother, more radiant complexion. Because of it’s ability to get the cells to turnover it is also often used to treat acne because it can help loosen clogged pores.

We have a Retinol Serum formulated for us by a Pharmaceutical company that produces amazing results. In addition to the benefits of the Vitamin A, we have also added green tea and hyaluronic acid to the formula  to help calm and hydrate the skin so that is well tolerated. We are offering a 10% discount on our Retinol Serum for the month of January when it is purchased in our La Jolla office. Just mention the Torrey Pines Dermatology blog when you come in. Also, check us out and become a fan of Torrey Pines Dermatology on Facebook and Twitter for more information and additional discounts.
