THE SAME THING -- YOU NEED AN ANTI-OXIDANT. SO YOU WANT TO GET ANTI-OXIDANTS, GREEN TEA, VITAMINS. YOU WANT A RETINOIDS. YOU CAN PUT THEM ON AT NIGHT IN THE GROELSRY STORE OR THE DRUGSTORE. GET THINGS LIKE RETINOL CONTAINING PRODUCTS OR A PRESCRIPTION LIKE RETIN-A. SUN SCREEN. SPF 30 OR HIGHER BROAD SPECTRUM. >> SHOULD YOU LOOK FOR A MOISTURIZER THAT HAS A SUN SCREEN OR DO YOU RECOMMEND PUTTING ON THE SUN SCREEN AND THEN THE MOISTURIZER? >> IT DEPENDS ON YOUR SKIN. DO DOUBLE DUTY WHEN POSSIBLE BECAUSE YOU'RE MORE LIKELY TO USE IT. SOME OF THE NEW CREAMS HAVE TINT, MOISTURIZER, AND SUN SCREEN. THAT'S WHAT I DO.

I THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT. YOU DON'T WANT TO OVERSCRUB YOUR SKIN. I LIKE THINGS LIKE THESE PEELS DEPENDING ON YOUR SKIN TYPE ANYWHERE FROM ONE TO FOUR WEEKS. IF YOU'RE OILIER, DO IT MORE OFTEN. BUT THAT WILL EXFOLIATE. HELPS WITH FINE LINES AN WRINKLES AND ACNE. PATIENTS ASK ME ABOUT SCARS, SCARS FROM SKIN CANCER SURGERY, A FALL, A BUG BITE. ONE OF THE BEST THINGS YOU CAN DO FOR YOURSELF OR YOUR FAMILY IS GET THE SILICONE STRIPS. GET THEM AT ANY DRUGSTORE AND WEAR THEM FOR A FEW MONTHS. >> THANKS. >> YOU HAVE WONDERFUL ADVICE FOR US.
