Which Skincare Products are Most Important to Use

Throughout the years the cosmetic and beauty industry has produced thousands of various skin-care products and with them have come various ideals as to what products are necessary and how many products a woman or man should truly be using.  Is it really necessary to use 10 products a day?  Probably not.  After running a medical spa-Winter Park Laser & Anti-Aging Center in Orlando for 10 years we have found what skincare products are most important for our clients to maintain their cosmetic procedure results.
Here are the Top Important Skincare Products Necessary for good skin:
#1 Daily Cleanser: It is important to use a soap free cleanser that is not going to absorb too much oil.  It is important to cleanse your skin twice a day, if you only have time for once a day make it at night as this is when your skin has the most build up, dirt and oil. Winter Park Laser Favorite Cleansers: Glytone Mild Gel Wash, and Skinmedica Facial Cleanser.
#2 Weekly Exfoliator: This is one product everyone should invest in and use once a week.  It is important to exfoliate the skin to remove dead skin cells, stimulate collagen and prevent pores being clogged with impurities which create breakouts.
Winter Park Laser Favorite Exfoliators: Skinmedica Skin Polisher, and Glytone Boost Mask
#3 Daily Retinol: Any woman or man over the age of 30 should own a good Rx grade Retinol. Retinol is vitamin A derivatives that unclog pores, boost collagen to reduce fine lines, and speed cell turnover to even out discoloration and smooth the skin—sometimes in as little as four weeks.
Winter Park Laser Favorite Retinols: Skinmedica Retinols .25, .50, & 1.0
#4 Daily Moisturizer with SPF 20 or Stronger: It is important to hydrate your skin daily even if you have oily skin.  If you don't hydrate your skin it can over-produce oil or become dry, cracked and show more wrinkles.  It is also extremely important to wear an SPF minimum 20 everyday even when you aren't in "direct sun" as you still get sun while driving, walking to the car, etc.
Winter Park Laser Favorite Moisturizers: Skinmedica Ultra Sheer for Oily Skin, and Skinmedica TNS Daily Moisturizer with SPF 20 for normal skin.
#5 Daily Eye Cream: The skin around your eyes is 30% thinner and therefore is the first area to form wrinkles and needs additional hydration that regular facial moisturizers can not provide.  It is important to find a physician grade eye cream that is hydrating, and has special ingredients to counteract wrinkles and dark circles.
Winter Park Laser Favorite Eye Cream: Skinmedica TNS Eye Repair
#6 Daily Growth Factor: As you age you lose 20% of collagen every year with your skin only naturally replacing 4% so it is important to have a growth factor serum that will rebuild collagen and elastyn in the skin.
Winter Park Laser Favorite Growth Factor: Skinmedica TNS Essential Serum, and Skinmedica TNS Recovery Complex.
