Why Choose a Customized, Professional Skincare Routine?

Healthy, glowing, clear, and radiant skin is important to all of us, as it conveys a sense of health and gives us the confidence to be our very best. The foundation for healthy, ageless skin is a good at-home skin care regimen.

Whether you are prone to oily, dry, sensitive, or uneven skin tone – glowing, even skin starts with the consistent use of key skincare ingredients personalized for your skin type and issues.  The skin is the body’s largest organ, and it serves as a protective barrier against environmental assaults. An optimized skincare routine not only maintains the ongoing health and appearance of the skin but makes other cosmetic procedures more effective, enhancing the outcomes of in-office procedures.

An Anti-Aging and Skin Health Regimen Fit for You

When it comes to which quality ingredients to incorporate at what age, Dr. Chiu likes to describe what you need in a basic routine by using a skincare pyramid schematic, where everyone (at all ages) needs sun protection in the form of a sunscreen at SPF 30 or above. Then, consider retinoids for collagen building, anti-aging, and clearing of any blemishes. By your late 20s and early 30s, adding an antioxidant product like a quality Vitamin C serum will protect your skin from outside influences of UV damage and pollution.

To maintain an even texture and refine pores, exfoliating regularly with alpha-hydroxy acid products at least once a week can keep your skin dewy and glowing. By your 30s and beyond, consider investing in growth factors to combat tissue laxity, boost collagen production, and reverse fine lines and wrinkles.
