Ask Our Esthetician

Hello,

I just turned 57 and have taken great care with my skin, however no matter what I do, I am getting the sagging and creepiness on my neck. Are there any products I can try, short of plastic surgery?

Thank you

Deb



Hi Deb,

Obagi Elastiderm Decolletage is a medical line of products that treats both the sagging and wrinkling of the neck and chest, as well as any sunspots and uneven pigmentation you may be experiencing. This System uses two products to lift and tighten the décolleté while diminishing fine lines and wrinkles. Also, your skin will be smoother and more even toned.

Hello,

I have some scarring from my acne, a lot of red areas where the acne has healed and has left discoloration, as well as my skin having a 'mealy' appearance in some areas, dullness, and some hyperpigmentation (most likely from the sun). Can you recommend a moisturizer?
Thank you so much -

Vanessa



Hi Vanessa,

Use the Eminence Sugar Plum Oil-Free Revitalizer. The Plum is high in iron which will really perk up that mealy, sallow, dull appearance you are describing, and the Rosehip and Green Tea will calm any redness and inflammation you may be experiencing. It is extremely high in Vitamins C, A and E so you are getting mega-doses of antioxidants which is incredible protection from free-radicals which cause premature aging.

This moisturizer will balance out your hydration levels without adding any additional oil to your face and it is non-comedogenic so it won’t cause additional breakouts.

Hello,

I currently use the Dr Hauschka Rose Day Cream and I'd like a more intensive moisturizer for the face as I have dry skin. Can you recommend one?

Thank you!

Josie



Hi Josie,

You will want to try the Dr Hauschka Regenerating Day Cream which firms and tones the skin, minimizes fine lines and wrinkles, and supports the skins own regenerative properties.



Also, make sure your skin is properly exfoliated so that your moisturizers can penetrate properly and hydrate the skin. You may want to try the Eminence Pear and Poppy Seed Microderm Polisher. Eminence is another Organic product line we import from Hungary and gives skin an amazing radiance.

The Poppy Seed Polisher will rid your complexion of dead and dull surface skin cells so that your moisturizer can penetrate more deeply to hydrate dry thirsty skin.

Hi, do you know of any products that help with drooping or sagging upper eyelids?

Thanks,

Tammy



Hi Tammy,

Sagging is caused by the increased laxity of eyelid tissues with age. It may also be related to a loss/gain of fat around the eye socket or muscles that have become fragile as you grow old. Sun damage and heredity also play a role.

Try DDF Advanced Firming Eye Concentrate which firms and tones the eye for a lifted appearance.

Or use the Obagi Elastiderm Eye Treatment designed especially for the soft tissue surrounding the eye that is wrinkled, thin and sagging. It works by encouraging collagen and elastin production which firms, smooths, and produces more resilient skin in just two weeks!

I have very sensitive eyes. Anytime I put mascara or any eye makeup on, my eyes sting, water, and get red and itchy. Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks,

Paula



Hi Paula,

I would recommend the Dr Hauschka Mascara - it is all natural and organic and opthalmologist tested. It doesn't flake and we love it!

Three colors (black, brown and blue) make eyelashes silky, lush and full while helping to strengthen lashes over time. Rose and jojoba waxes protect fine lashes while extracts of neem and tea leaf fortify. Neem leaf extract strengthens keratin to encourage strong, full growth of lashes. Antioxidant-rich eyebright and black tea extracts soothe the sensitive eye area - it is gentle and soothing to the allergy-prone eye area.
