How can I prevent and address skin problems?
Both women and men can experience skin problems. To achieve your best skin possible, first remember that skin is a living, breathing organ with amazing powers of renewal. The top layer of the skin, known as the stratum corneum, is constantly undergoing renewal via the shedding of dead skin cells. A new top layer of skin is created approximately every 25 to 30 days. In young skin the renewal cycles is more frequent than in older skin. As new skin is constantly forming from below, there is always room to improve the appearance of the skin by using the right products and treatment methods. Even the most problematic skin can be elevated to a level of perfection that you may never have thought possible.

At what age should I start to use antiaging creams?
You can never start too young with antiaging formulations. Most of us don't think of sunscreens as having antiaging benefits, but they do, by cutting out a great portion of the harmful UVA and UVB rays that cause premature wrinkle formation and sagging of the skin. Antiaging is really about prevention, which includes a healthy diet and exercise.
I have always been a champion of natural beauty and growing old in a natural way. You should never fight the aging process as though it's your enemy but embrace it with the right care, and that way you'll grow old looking absolutely beautiful. Be proud of where you are in your life; each day is a gift, and aging is part of it. The wisdom, inner peace, and confidence gained with each passing year are priceless. When you remain fit and healthy, with glowing skin texture, you will look stunning at any age!
Start each day, regardless of age, by saying to your mirror image, "good morning, I love myself and I am beautiful." And do it with a big smile!

Professional vs Drugstore
Why by professional brand skin care?
Drugstore products are made to work for a large population and are watered down so as not to cause adverse reactions in the majority. Almost anyone can pick a drugstore product up off the shelf and use it even if it's not for their skin condition and it will not cause too much harm.
The FDA regulates ingredient concentrations for drug store and professional skin care lines. Because professional products are "prescribed" they have higher concentrations of active ingredients and less water. Professional products are made using ingredients that are better for the skin and are more concentrated; therefore, you will use much less product, in turn, saving you money. Professional products, like Dermalogica, are only prescribed by licensed skin care professionals to address each person's specific need. Used correctly, results are apparent immediately.
