Cure a Holiday Skin Hangover – Part 1

Dr. Irwin
November 19, 2014

We know the look….. tired, sallow, and puffy. Your skin needs help.

Here’s the emergency fix: 1) Drink 6 glasses of plain water over 2-3 hours (I’m not joking!); 2) If you don’t have time to exercise for an hour, do 10-15 minutes of vigorous stair climbing (everyone can find some stairs!) to get your circulation revved up; 3) No carbs, extra salt, or alcohol (sadly – it’s a carb) for 24 hours.

You’ll be amazed at how much better you look.

The home device Jenu for tired puffy eyes is expensive at about $250, but I use it for effective (but temporary) improvement in those sagging or puffy eyes.

Happy and Safe Holidays!

One of the best investments in your skin is your daily skincare. Why? Because you can prevent many problems with blotchy skin color, lack of glow, texture, some types of acne, and fine lines with good skincare products. You can also correct some of these problems with effective skincare products. Great skincare is often more expensive because quality ingredients are expensive. Some companies spend on research/development which benefits all of us and adds to the cost. Are they worth it? In general - yes! I have handpicked some of what I consider to be the best skin care products, and offer them for sale on SkinTour's shop. This is based on my team and I's testing and research at our clinic. Many of the products are in my own regimen. What could be better than using skin care products a dermatologist uses?!
