Ten Commandments for Healthy Skin

1. Eat healthy (fresh fruits and vegetables, 5 glasses of water daily)
2. Exercise regularly
3. Practice a healthy lifestyle (no smoking or excessive alcohol and enough sleep)
4. Follow a regimen of daily cleansing, moisturizing, and protecting your skin with an antioxidant and sunblock; include a skin exfoliant if you have visible signs of photodamage.
5. Always do a skin test (apply a small amount of product to the underside of your wrist and wait 24 hours. If there is no evidence of rash, irritation, or inflammation THEN apply the product to your face).
6. Get a yearly checkup by your dermatologist.

Use SPF 45 daily sunblock if you are taking medications that make your skin more susceptible to sunburn, if you have ever been diagnosed with skin cancer, or if you are using professional strength exfoliating products (Retin A, Renova, Skin creams and lotions with greater than 10% Poly or Alpha Hydroxy content).
8. Use professional strength products only under the supervision of your dermatologist.

Persons with sensitive skin should avoid products that contain fragrance or color additives.
10. Only use products recommended for your particular skin type.
