Importance of a Daily Skin Care Regimen

The importance of a daily skin care regimen can not be emphasized enough. This is important whether or not you are having a procedure done. A good facewash twice daily is the first step; clean skin is healthy skin. Sunscreen is important to prevent discoloration, fine lines, and laxity and to prevent skin cancer. Anti-oxidants such as vitamin C also prevent sun damage. Exfoliants such as tretinoin and salicylic acid help remove the surface layer of dead skin cells. This gives the skin a youthful radiance. Bleaching agents such as hydroquinone, kojic acid, and licorice extract decrease hyperpigmentation (dark discoloration) and prevent it from occurring after a procedure.
