✨Here are 5 products I personally use and recommend to my patients as a dermatologist⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 1. Because our skin is mildly acidic, using a ph-balanced & mild cleanser reinforces a healthy skin barrier & prevents water loss. Some are in the form of a gel, foam or cream, and what you choose to use depends on your preferences. I especially recommend mild cleansers for my sensitive skinned patients and those who are on acne medications. ⁣⁣ ⁣ 2. The skin on our body also needs moisture and applying the right kind of moisturizer/lotion will strengthen the skin barrier, repair damaged skin, improve skin texture, and reduce itchiness in dry and sensitive skin.⁣⁣ ⁣ 3. Sunscreen is one of 2 anti-aging products I recommend. It’s the cheapest and most accessible in my opinion. Not only does it prevent premature aging, but it also prevents sunburn, skin cancer & hyperpigmentation.⁣⁣ ⁣ 4. Petroleum jelly is such an underrated product. It can serve as a lip balm, can moisturize the driest parts of the body (elbows & cracked heels), can help dry nails & cuticles, can heal minor cuts & burns and overall, suitable for sensitive skin.⁣⁣ ⁣ 5. I personally prescribe retinoids to my patients with acne and personally, they’re a consistent part of my night routine for its anti-aging benefit.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Has your dermatologist recommended some of these to you as well?⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ #dermatologist #boardcertifieddermatologist #dermatologistph #skindoctor #skincaretips #dermatips #skincaretip #skincare101 #skinexpert #mildcleanser #moisturizer #sunscreeneveryday #petroleumjelly #retinoids
