Getting Ready for Weddings and Reunions

For a major update on your skin, you’ll want to talk to your dermatologist 6-12 months in advance if you are over 40. That will give you time to let any laser work develop (many lasers take 3-6 months to see full results) and to make sure you like any Botox or fillers that you might want.

 

As you approach the date of the wedding or reunion, make sure any injectable appointments are at least 2-3 weeks from the date just in case you get a dark purple bruise. Don’t change any products in the 2 week window before the event. It’s okay to get a microdermabrasion or facial 1 week before, especially if you know the aesthetician and how your skin does with her products. Then…..relax and have fun!!!

 

See Dr. Irwin’s article Skin Rejuvenation Plans on a Budget.  She describes several plans for improving your skin on different budgets.

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?!
