As a dermatologist, I have a lot of toots at my disposal to help the skin look its best but, contrary to popular opinion. I’m not a magician. Rather, I like to think of myself as my patients’ partner, educating and guiding them towards an effective skin care routine that will maintain their skin as healthy and radiant as possible. We’ve come a long way with developing doctor’s office techniques that can easily and dramatically rejuvenate the skin, but that’s only half of the beautifying equation. What a patient puts on her skin day in and day out is key – so much so that I can easily differentiate between my patients who are faithful to their cleansers, moisturisers, eye creams and the rest who disregard my advice, usually on the assumption that I can easily fix everything. But honestly, what’s the point of those pricey visits to the dermatologist and to your beloved beauty therapist it you aren’t maintaining all of their hard work at home I like to compare it to maintenance of the teeth: you continue to bi ush and floss long after a visit to the dentist, right? The same commitment should be devoted to your complexion.
