Skin Care

Why is skin care so important?

Most people only consider the aesthetic aspects of skin care, but there are also health benefits to keeping your skin in great condition. Your skin is the largest organ in your body, and it serves multiple purposes. 

In addition to acting as a barrier between the inner body and the outside world, your skin also helps regulate body temperature and enables sensations of touch, heat, and cold. When skin becomes overly dry it can crack and peel, allowing harmful microbes to enter and create an infection. 

The good news is that the steps you take to care for your skin not only keeps it healthy, but also improves your appearance. 

How do I know which skin care products are the best?

There are a multitude of skin care products available online and in stores, spas, and dermatology offices. Deciding which brands are the best can be challenging, especially when marketing teams work hard to vie for your attention and dollars. 

The team at Evergreen Wellness Clinic works hard to research top-quality product lines to find the best available options. When you purchase skin care products from the practice, you can rest assured you are getting products that are backed by scientific research and high-quality standards. 

SkinMedicaⓇ is a great example. This line of skin care products was founded by physicians and designed to address a wide range of skin care needs. The company sells directly to physicians and offers in-person, interactive educational sessions to help practitioners learn how to use the products. 

But how do I choose from so many different products?

Even within one skin care line there are often numerous products to choose from. Just as no two people are exactly the same, your skin care needs are also unique.

When you come in for a skin care consultation, Dr. Natarajan assesses your skin and discusses your current skin care routine. She explains which products will work best for your skin, as well as the order in which to use them. 

In general, most people benefit from a cleanser formulated for their skin type. A toner can help remove all traces of makeup and excess oil. 

There are many different serums and treatment products that can address concerns like dryness, excess oil, acne, wrinkling, and hyperpigmentation. There are also options that simply brighten and improve the tone of your skin. 

A good moisturizer is also important. Here again, there are formulations for oily or dry skin, as well as day and night options. 

One of the most important things to include in any skin care regimen is sunscreen. A great sunscreen can protect your skin and prevent premature aging.
