There have been so many advances in skin care science in the past three years that it's almost mind-boggling. Botox and the fillers can work magic, but they're all expensive and must be done regularly. You can get the same results if you start soon enough (before you're wrinkled like an old billfold!) and follow this regimen: 1 Cleanse twice a day with a professional-strength (available only at physicians' offices and at medi-spas) cleanser for your particular skin type.
2 Apply a few drops of SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic to face, neck, decollete, and hands. 3. Then apply the same amount of SkinCeuticals Hydrating B5 Gel to the same areas. These products absorb quickly into the dermis where they work together to stimulate new collagen production and also correct damaged cells. 4. Apply a day cream or lotion or gel, depending on your skin type, with a minimum 15 SPF. Some great ones are Kinerase Cream or Lotion with SPF 30; One of SkinCeuticals sunblocks or sunscreens (depending on skin type and sensitivity); and NeoStrata's SPF 29 sunblock. All three of these are cosmetically elegant (don't make your skin white) and work very well under makeup. 5. At cleansing at night, apply a good night moisturizer and eye cream. Specific problems such as hyperkeratosis, rosacea, acne, etcetera require a personalized daily regimen recommended by either your dermatologist or esthetician. It takes longer for the right topical treatment to give you the quick results you get with Botox, laser, facial peels, and fillers but you'll get there--and you won't spend nearly as much money.
