Skincare should not be complicated – that’s what doctors believe in our skin care clinic in Chennai. Here are some common skincare questions that people asked our experts, and here is what they said:  

What is an ideal skincare regime?   

Believe it or not, skincare is not effortless. It takes some work and care, as is true of any grooming you want to do for your body. Therefore, as a thumb rule, you can divide the regime into morning and evening routines and then have things you do every few days. In the morning, to begin with, you should try to cleanse your face. If you are into adding toner to your skin, then that would be your next step. Post that follows it up with a moisturizer and sunscreen. At night, again start with cleansing, add acne or serum treatment if required, do not forget to moisturize. You can, of course, do your exfoliation 2-3 times a week and get your facial fixes with the experts.   

How can I avoid wrinkles and signs of aging?

Wrinkles and signs of aging are a natural process as you age. You cannot stop it. However, you can minimize how it appears and also when it starts to appear. Some of the things that you can do to postpone the wrinkles are use products that have antioxidants, protect your skin from the sun, eat healthy food, reduce consumption of alcohol and avoid smoking, be gentle with your skin, and wash your face at least twice a day amongst other things. Additionally, hydrate your skin, and also remember to exercise.

Do I need to have separate routines for morning and night?    

Yes. To put it simply, the work that morning and evening creams do is very different. For instance, during the day, you might need a cream that not only moisturizes your skin but also protects you from the sun. Meaning it has to be rich in antioxidants and SPF components. Night creams, on the other hand, help your skin rejuvenate as you sleep. Though it is not a rule, using specific creams and face masks to particular times of the day enhances the way your skin looks and feels.  

What kind of food helps to get glowing skin? 

It is one of the most common skincare questions people have. What you eat is vital to get glowing skin. Food is an essential component of the body, hair, and skin. These include food rich in Omega 3 fatty acids, Omega-6 fatty acids, Vitamin A, B, C, and E, antioxidants, biotin, selenium, zinc, and more. Some foods that help you get clear and flawless skin include carrots, avocados, walnuts, sunflower seeds, green tea, soybeans, dark chocolate, and more. Junk food never helps, and it does not help with giving you glowing skin either.       

What are some excellent skincare treatments? 

Skincare treatments are constantly changing as more and more people are researching about it. However, a good dermatologist in Chennai can recommend what works best for you, depending on your medical history and the symptoms you face. Some skin care treatments include chemical peel treatment, laser skin treatment, dermabrasion, microdermabrasion, and others. Remember to get complete information from the expert before going with any of the skincare treatments.         

How can I get flawless and glowing skin quickly?   

There are many ways to get clear and glowing skin quickly. These can be considered threefold solutions, home remedies, over-the-counter options, and consulting a dermatologist in Chennai. As home remedies, there is the right kind of food that you must eat, rinse your face from time to time, use aloe vera, be gentle with your skin, and more. As far as over-the-counter options are concerned, buy skincare products that work best for you. Ensure you get a good moisturizer and also a good sunscreen. You can, alternately, speak to a dermatologist of reputation to get good tips.     

When should I start using anti-aging creams?

It is often necessary to remember, as unfortunate as it may be, that our skin starts losing elasticity and collagen as early as our early 20s. Additionally, your skin takes longer to get back in shape or regenerate itself quickly as you age. So, it would help if you considered anti-aging creams and exfoliating your skin from time to time starting in your twenties. You should keep your skin hydrated and help your skin glow using anti-aging products. Also, ask your dermatologist for the best anti-aging treatments for quick and long-term results. 

How long do botox and fillers last?   

Typically fillers such as dermal fillers last for between nine or twelve months. It primarily depends on how the client responds to the filler treatment. Botox, on the other hand, lasts a little less long. It typically lasts anywhere between four to six months. It is, however, essential to consult with skin experts if you have skincare questions related to botox and filler to understand which solution works best for you. 

How can I treat dark spots and pigmentation?   

Using sunscreen anywhere between SPF 25-30 is significant to avoid dark spots and hyperpigmentation. However, some over-the-counter medications can help to treat scars and pigmentation. Look for ingredients like salicylic acid and hydrochloric acid, which give promising results for fading spots and helps with aging skin. Exfoliation and face mask twice a week are also necessary. If that too does not work, you can always speak to the skin experts in Chennai.   

When should I consult a dermatologist?  

You can consult a dermatologist for many reasons. However, it is essential to do your homework before going to a doctor of reputation and experience. That said, you must consult a dermatologist if you have an acne problem that is not going away with over the counter medication, if you have itching and irritated skin if you have scars that you want to cure, if you think there are lines, spots, pigmentation, or wrinkles you are not able to get rid off. Long story short, if you are feeling distressed with how your skin looks or feels, speak to an expert dermatologist in Chennai.
