Hello
I'm Dr. Neal Schultz
[pause]
And welcome to DermTV
Regardless of your age, there are three essential skincare products
that everybody should use every day:
a sunscreen, exfoliant, and antioxidant.
But your skin also has ADDITIONAL and DIFFERENT needs
which depend on your age. In this episode of the DermTV series
on skincare by the decades, I’ll discuss issues specific in your 40’s,
for healthier, more beautiful and younger looking skin.
There’s a lot of information so I’m going to split 40s into two episodes.
So in your forties, the issues that are most important to you are first,
and always first, ongoing prevention of additional
premature photo-aging, lines and wrinkles.
Second, prevention of lines and wrinkles caused by
unnecessary facial expressions.
Third, exfoliation… but in your 40’s it’s more to
correct age and sun related texture problems
and sun induced color problems.
And fourth, filler and laser correction and improvement of lines,
wrinkles and other contours that come from loss of collagen
and elastic tissue… whether from sun exposure, tobacco habits,
or from repeated facial expressions that have literally broken
your collagen and over stretched your elastic tissue prematurely.
In terms of ongoing prevention of additional premature
photo-aging, lines and wrinkles, in the interest of brevity,
check out the episodes on skincare in the 20’s and 30’s.
So onto the second issue, prevention of lines and
wrinkles caused by unnecessary facial expressions…
Preventing these is all about botulium treatments
with either Dysport or Botox. Many unattractive lines and
wrinkles are caused by repeated facial expressions
that are neither desirable nor productive,
such as frowns and raised eyebrows.
While people such as psycho therapists and news casters
use frowns and raised eyebrows to convey
non-verbal communication…
for most of us those expressions merely cause
premature etching of those lines.
While Botox or Dysport can’t be used to prevent all
facial lines like those caused by necessary expressions
like smiles, the earlier you start Botox or Dysport treatments,
the longer you’ll delay unnecessary etched facial lines.
So in part 2 of skincare for the forties,
I’ll tell you what exfoliation, filler and lasers treatments
can do for you.
