Why is proper skin care important?

The idea of skin care can often be overwhelming for patients in the area of Coral Gables, Florida. Many patients envision the extensive number of products available in the skincare aisle of their local drugstore. Some are unsure what types of products to use for their skin, and may deal with combination issues including dryness and oiliness. By working with a dermatological professional at the Florida Academic Dermatology Center, patients will be able to develop a skincare regimen at home to keep the skin healthy, beautiful, and youthful in appearance. This is why proper skincare is important. 

What skincare products do I need? 

During an evaluation with Dr. Francisco Kerdel and the associates of the Florida Academic Dermatology Center, patients can speak to their doctor about the specific areas of concern they may have with their skin. Then, along with their dermatologist, patients work to develop a routine that works for their skin—and their lifestyles. However, there are several products that patients should always have in their bathroom cabinet, including the following: 

•         Cleansers
•         Toners
•         Moisturizers
•         Exfoliation products
•         Serums
•         Sunblock

Dr. Francisco Kerdel will help patients find the products that are most appropriate for their skin type, and assist them in understanding when the skincare products are used and how often. Additionally, patients may need to develop a different skincare during the drier winter months than products used during the humid summers because of changes that occur to the skin during these seasons. A patient’s lifestyle may also dictate some of the products used, especially for patients who spend a large portion of their day outdoors and exposed to sunlight. With the help of a professional, patients can choose products that are helpful in protecting the skin’s health and beauty.
