Dermatological care is important for many reasons but to produce a healthy complexion is generally what people from teens to seniors care about. From cold sores to pimples, constant care is needed to shrink the pesky problem and alleviate discomfort.
It doesn't matter what skin tone you are, it seems we all have this problem in common. "All skin types need to start with a skin care routine that includes sunscreen and makes it a priority," says Jennifer Smith, M.D., Texas Tech Physicians Dermatology.
Before you set a skin care routine, it is recommended that you find out what kind of skin type you are. Genes, diet, stress, medications and habits all play into how and why your skin appears oily or dry. There are 5 types of skin types, oily, combination, sensitive, dry and sun-damaged.
For good advice in caring for your particular skin type, make an appointment with Texas Tech Physicians Dermatology at 743-1842 or 1-800-782-7310.
