Topical Products for the Face
  • Sunscreen is Key
  • Moisturizers

    • Topical products are products that are applied to the surface of the skin: creams, ointments, and lotions are popular examples.

    While there are a great variety of topical creams out there designed to treat photo-aged skin, Retin-A (which contains retinoids) is the only chemical compound that is FDA-approved to treat wrinkles. This doesn’t mean, however, that it should be the only topical in a regimen designed to improve skin.

    Sunscreen is Key

    More important than almost anything else is sunscreen. Sun is responsible for over 90% of the damage our skin suffers, and getting into the habit of wearing a broad-spectrum sun block is essential to preserving your skin’s long-term health. Put it on first thing in the morning, and considering reapplying throughout the day – especially if you plan on staying outdoors. This type of regular protection not only shields you from future damage, but gives your skin a chance to heal.

    Moisturizers

    Moisturizing can also help improve your skin’s texture and appearance, especially when paired with a light exfoliating scrub. Incorporating antioxidant-rich items into your diet may further prevent damage from free radicals – negatively charged oxygen molecules that damage the skin.
