Advanced Dermatology & Skin Care. Managing dry skin during the Fall season
>> THE SEASONS ARE CHANGING.G. THAT MEANS AS WE B BEGIN TO EXPERIENCE THE FULL FORCE OF FALL, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH LESS HUMIDITY. SWING IN TEMPERATURES AND STRESS OF A BUSIER SCHEDULE IS ALL GOING TO POSSIBLY WREAK HAVOC ON YOUR SKIN. JOINING US TO HELP WITH THAT IS A BOARD CERTIFIED DERMATOLOGIST WHO CAN KEEP US AS CLEAR AS WE CAN BE. GOOD MORNING TO YOU. >> THE WAY OUR SKIN IS DESIGNED, WE HAVE THIS WONDERFUL PROTECTIVE BARRIER. AS THE AMBIENT HUMIDITY DROPS, THE SKIN REACTS BY CLAMPING UP. IT BECOMES DRIER. IT THICKENS IN RESPONSE TO THE ENVIRONMENT. THE pH CHANGES AND THE NORMAL TURNOVER AND SHEDDINING OF CELL CHANGES. >> WHAT ARE WE GOING TO SEE AND HOW CAN WE TELL THAT THAT'S HAPPENING? >> THE MANIFESTS AS SCALING. IN THE SUMMER, YOU MAY WASH YOUR HANDS AND FACE WITH SOAP. IN THE WINTER AND FALL AS THE HEATER GOES ON, YOU NEED TO LOOK FOR A SOAP-FREE SYNTHETIC CLEANSER. IT IS ROBBIBING THE SKIN OF THE PROTECTIVE BARRIER. >> LET'S TALK ABOUT TREATMENT. IS THERE SOMETHING SIMPLE TO DO? >> ABSOLUTELY. YOU NEED TO THINK JUST BASIC, BASIC SKIN CARE. YOU NEED TO CHANGE YOUR REGIMEN TOWARDS THOSE CREAMIER PRODUCTS IN THE FALL AND WINTERTIME. YOU WANT TO USE PRODUCTS THAT CONTAIN A MOISTURIZER. GET YOUR SUNSCREEN WITH A MOISTURIZER. GET A MOISTURIZING CLEANSER. USE A MOISTURIZING WASH. STAY FREE OF THINGS THAT HAVE THE WORD SOAP IN THEM. YOU WANT A SOAP-FREE CLEANSER. >> LET'S TALK ABOUT HOW TO HELP EVERYONE IN THE FAMILY FROM CHILDREN TO TEENAGERS WHO DEAL WITH THE OILY SKIN AND ADULTS. IS IT ALL THE SAME FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY? >> YOU KNOW, I THINK FOR TEENAGERS, THEY ARE A SPECIAL GROUP. IF YOU ARE ACNE-PRONE OR OILY, YOU MAY BE ABLE TO GET AWAY WITH SOME OF THE MORE STRONG OR CLEAR CLEAEANSERSS. IF YOU'RE A CHILD OR ADULT AND YOU DON'T HAVE THE GREASY HORMONALLY DRIVEN PROBLEMS OF A TEENAGER, LOOK FOR CLEANSERS THAT ARE MILIER IN COLOR. >> LET'S TALK ABOUT DIET. >> WE'RE LEARNING MORE AND MORE ABOUT THIS. WHENEN WAS FIRST IN TRAINING, DIET WAS VERY CONTROVERSIAL. NOW IT'S BECOME KIND OF THE TALK OF THE DAY. THINGS THAT CAN HELP YOUR SKIN, YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER THE LEAVES ON A TREE. IT'S LIKE YOUR SKIN. IT'S THE LAST PLACE THAT THINGS GET, BUT IT DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE. SO YOU WANT TO EAT FOODS THAT CONTAIN ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS. YOU WANT TO LOOK FOR NUTS, SALMON, AVOCADOS, THOSE THINGS WILL HELP MOISTURIZE YOUR SKIN. YOU'RE LOOKING FOR THOSE THINGS. YOU OFTEN HEAR ABOUT THE OMEGA VITAMINS. YOU'L'LL LOOK FOR THINGS RICH I THE OMEGAS. >> IF YOU EAT THAT, YOU'LL BE BETTER OFF. >> YOU WILL BE. DIET DOES MATTER. >> THANK YOU FOR COMING IN AND
