from nbc’s this is today we all want to look younger but you don’t want to spend a fortune on drugstore creams and cleansers that were not even sure that actually work that’s right well here to help us look for what we need and anti-agers based on your skin type is dermatologist dr.
Elizabeth tansy dr. Kenzie nice to see you nice to see you okay first of all you say when it comes to your skin the best offense is a good defense what should we avoid what are the two things we should really avoid right well before talking about any of the nighttime treatments you have to try to avoid the two biggest culprits in aging skin which is sun and smoking so for Sun does a tremendous amount of damage you want to wear SPF of 30 every day and if you’re going to be out in the Sun more than five or ten minutes directly you want to pair that with a hat plus smoking does a lot of damage the skin not only to the skin but also you want to stop smoking immediately for to reduce the risk of cancer heart attack and stroke absolutely and let’s talk about some anti-aging prog different programs that you have and what are some things that you should be doing in your health regimen in your daily regimen well in general there are a lot of great inexpensive products you can get over-the-counter but it can be a little overwhelming when you see all the different products there so we’re going to try to break it down to skin type so in addition to that sunscreen in the morning night tell you wanna get a nighttime routine so different skin types want to look for different ingredients reso so oily skin for boiling skin and acne prone skin you want to look for retinol in your in your product as well as glycolic acids retinol helps to stimulate collagen which is a building a building block in the skin for rejuvenation purposes but then hydroxy acids help to exfoliate the skin and keep the pores open so if you have the two problems the acne plus the wrinkles which is not unusual right this is something that you want to look for the combination of the two the retinol and the and the glycolics what about dry skin so if you have dry skin the skin is really depleted of its natural moisture levels which makes it a bit more vulnerable to irritation so you want to look for products that have essential oils and shea butter to replace the hydration in the skin and then instead of the retinol which can be a little irritating look for a product aid and ingredient called peptides peptides are gentler way to stimulate collagen yeah actually all these really expensive ones you like at the department stores all the stuff you get at the drugstore just as good it’s good it’s very good but you have to know what you’re looking for it can be a little tricky so you want to look for for dry skin the oils plus the peptides is that way you read labels for food you want to do it for product absolutely because you can really find some great products even at the drugstore now for sensitive skin you can use retinol again that’s a really great anti-ager but you want to you want to look for a combination product with something called hyaluronic acid now people get a little nervous about hearing acid in sensitive skin but it’s actually not an acid it is a hydrating emollient gel that helps to sue the skin and then when you come when you pair it with retinol even patients with sensitive even people with sensitive skin can use that yeah and I think I use that one right there Natalie’s husband falls into this case man right a man’s skin care it’s been fastest growing a segment of the skincare market and gives you anything now men are starting to feel more comfortable with taking care of their skin and looking good and the good news here is that men’s skin is actually less sensitive than women so they can really use high concentration of that retinol they can use it every night and give their skin a nice healthy glow okay seriously right my product that’s what my nose using your mascara no not that the other stuff okay going on here now to has some some of the more clinical stuff and I guess this is a view the person who likes to splurge on facials these are ways you can get that at home a little bit more of a it’s a splurge but it’s going to be less expensive than being at the dermatologist right so if you want to in if you want to take your skincare up a notch at home you can invest in one of these at-home devices so something like the sonic brush can help it use several times a week and actually help clean the skin so well but it enhances the the penetration of all your skincare so you actually get more out of your skincare we spend millions of dollars on skincare of you you want to get the most outstanding at able to get the stain well business this is huge but do you get a better penetration yes exfoliate your money’s worth of everything else what is this device this is a personal microdermabrasion device which is a mini version of what we do in the office so you exfoliate all that dr.
tansy thank you so much we gotta go in first and one of my producers gonna exfoliate out this is tonight on industry right now
