Featured PCA Skin® FAQsYes, everyone, no matter how oily, needs a moisturizer. A moisturizer designed specifically for oily skin with a minimum of SPF 15 for daytime and a non-oily, richer moisturizer for nighttime are both essential for optimum skin health. A deficiency of water will typically lead to an overproduction of oil which would worsen your condition.
Adolescence is a great time to begin a daily skin care regimen. The introduction of a gentle cleanser, sunscreen moisturizer, and nighttime hydrator will assist in maintaining healthy skin, preventing the onset of certain skin conditions and helping to form beneficial habits such as daily SPF application.
Cleansing the skin more than twice daily and/or using harsh soaps can strip the skin of its natural oils, causing it to produce more oil and increase the occurrence of breakouts. Patients prone to blemishes should wash with a non-soap cleanser twice daily followed with an antibacterial, matte finish hydrator day and night.
Acne is becoming a more common skin challenge in adults, especially in women. It is often caused by hormone fluctuations, menopause, and/or stress. As skin ages, oil production slows. Therefore, it is critical to choose products to address adult acne that are not too drying. Acne varies among age groups and should be treated accordingly.
Freckles that have been present since early childhood are part of your genetic make up. While chemical peels and daily care products will help correct freckling from sun damage, freckles that are part of your hereditary background will always resurface.
Certain oils extracted from tea tree, marigold, grapefruit and borage are very beneficial in clearing breakouts and do not have the heavy feel commonly associated with oils. The application of a hydrator with these particular ingredients will not clog pores and can decrease redness, swelling and bacteria, reducing the appearance and occurrence of blemishes. There is no safe tan. Tanning beds and excessive sun exposure lead to uneven skin tone and texture, pre-mature wrinkling and skin cancer. For a golden glow year-round, artificial self-tanning products may be used. Yes, sun protection should be a part of a daily care regimen for all skin types and conditions. Both UVA and UVB rays are known causes of skin cancer and although UVB rays may be more prominent during the peak sun hours, UVA rays remain constant throughout the day, and penetrate glass and most clothing. |
