What does skin care include?

Skin care is an umbrella term that includes the many ways of protecting, nourishing, and revitalizing your skin. Some of the different types of skin care products that can help you achieve these goals include:

  • Moisturizers
  • Cleansers
  • Exfoliating products
  • Sunscreens and sunblock
  • Toners
  • Serums

Skin care doesn’t have to be complicated. The different aspects of a personalized skin care program all work together, and you quickly learn the order and timing for applying each one.

What can I do to support my skin care plan and look my best?

If you stick to your skin care plan, you can expect to see impressive changes over time. There are a few habits you can develop to supplement your skin care plan, including:

Protecting yourself from the sun

Your skin care plan includes sun protection products, so make sure to use them every day. Sunscreen should have a sun protection factor (SPF) level of at least 30, and you should also protect your lips with a 15 or higher SPF lip balm. If you’re going to be out in the sun for a while, wear a hat and sunglasses as well. 

In-office treatments

Alongside the products you use at home, office-based treatments can help you look younger and fresher. While not technically a skin care treatment, Botox® relaxes wrinkles and lines in the crow’s feet, between brows, and in the forehead, so it can work in tandem with a good skin care plan.
