The Dermal Repair Cream is an intense facial cream that replenishes dry skin and reduces the appearance of age spots. It’s formulated with the powerful ingredient Hyaluronic Acid, a natural lubricating and repairing agent found in your body. It works with your skin’s natural repair system to rehydrate and reduce the appearance of spots and sun damaged areas. It protects against other environmental stressors while its high concentrations of vitamins C and E work to firm and tighten your skin. After using the Dermal Repair Cream, your skin will be smoother, hydrated, and have a reduced appearance of age spots, sun spots, and hyperpigmentation.

Their TNS Night Eye Repair is a highly effective eye cream that drastically reduces aging symptoms around your eye area. It improves the appearance of fine lines, crow’s feet, wrinkles, and loose skin. Although very powerful and potent, it is still extremely gentle for the sensitive eye area.

Like the Dermal Repair Cream, it increases firmness and elasticity, while the high concentrations of vitamins A, C, and E improve the general appearance of the skin around your eye. The loose or sagging skin is strengthened and hydrated to reduce any fragility. Unlike other eye creams, it has special ingredients that stimulate tissue repair and cell growth deep within the surface of your skin. Its moisturizers keep the skin hydrated underneath the epidermis, instead of just on the outside. It is also very effective for dark circles because it has an iron chelating agent that eliminates the blood cell pigments underneath your eyes that cause them.

SkinMedica has made effective treatments and products for your face that you can use in the comfort of your own home and for a fraction of the cost of a professional treatment. If you have sun damage, dry skin, age spots, aging symptoms, and problems around your eye area,  SkinMedica has specially formulated treatments for these problems and the sensitive areas of your face. If you don’t have the time or money for an expensive, in-office procedure, SkinMedica is your answer.

There are many reasons for the appearance of acne, pimples, blackheads, and other types of blemishes. These problems don’t just affect teenagers, either. While some causes are inevitable, there are a few things you can do to help prevent acne from occurring.

1. Don’t pick at your face – Although it’s tempting to squeeze at your face and every blemish you see, this will only cause it to get worse. Your hands are full of oils and bacteria that can enter your skin’s pores. Your fingernails and the pressure from your fingers can irritate your skin and lead to more infection and damaged tissue. When you see a pimple forming, leave it alone or use special products for it.

2. Salicylic Acid or Benzoyl Peroxide – The combination of these two powerful treatments can really help your skin. When used on the site of a blemish, they can reduce its appearance over the next few days if applied early. Benzoyl Peroxide products come in different strengths, so discuss it with your doctor or dermatologist to see which percentage is right for your skin.

3. Women should NEVER sleep with makeup on – This is a large cause of acne and clogged pores. Your skin needs to breathe and repair itself overnight as you sleep. If there is still makeup and residue left on your skin, it will cause oils and impurities to get trapped in your pores and cause more blemishes and blackheads.

4. Use a clean washcloth – Some people don’t realize that they are clogging their pores by using their shower towel to dry their face. After you shower, your towel dries up left over soap, shampoo, and other bath products from your skin and hair. If you use this same towel on your face, all those chemicals and products will be left on your skin and inside of your pores. Always use a separate washcloth for your face than the one for your body.

5. Drink plenty of water – Keeping your skin hydrated is very important. By drinking plenty of water during the day, your skin will stay moist and not get too dry. This will help your pores stay hydrated and not allow dirt and oil to build up.
