Your Skin Has Changed, Why Haven't You?

As we grow older, our bodies produce less moisture, drying out the skin, which then begins to lose its elasticity and its ability to protect the rest of the body. For many people, looking after the skin is not only a question of aesthetics, but it is also essential for one's health and well-being. Conditions that stress, clog or inflame your skin can cause symptoms such as redness, swelling, burning, and itching. Allergies, irritants, genetic makeup, certain diseases, and immune system disorders can cause dermatitis, hives and other skin conditions. Our skin is always changing, with age, the seasons, our health and well being. In many ways, skin care is about timing. Speak to your dermatologist routinely to can help select the best skin care regimen for you.
