If you aren't happy with your skin, you probably don't have the confidence to live to your potential. Thankfully, the skin surgeon Lauren A Daman, MD, PC and her staff in Hartford and Simsbury will address any concerns you have, from age spot treatments to scar removal. 

What are some common issues that this team encounters? Here are just a few tips for keeping your skin even and clear, no matter your skin type:

• Oily Skin: Oily skin leads to clogged pores and adult acne while making your face look shiny and slippery. It’s important to use cleaning products that are specifically designed for this skin type and condition. Products like micellar water and cleansing milks can help as well as the use of water-soluble cosmetics.
• Dry Skin: Often, this is the result of damage to the skin’s natural lipid barrier due to things like over-exposure to sunlight, overuse of soaps, thyroid issues, or genetic predisposition. Dermatologists and skin surgeons recommend the application of polyunsaturated fats, fatty acids, ceramides, and phospholipids. For specific products that will help moisturize and protect skin from dryness, speak to Dr. Daman at one of her two office locations in Connecticut.
• Aging Skin: As you age, your skin gradually loses its ability to rejuvenate, losing some of its elasticity and even tone. There are a number of ways to tackle age-related problems, including age spot treatments, sclerotherapy to prevent spider vein formation, and botox, which smooths out wrinkles.
• Combination: Combination skin is when two or more conditions like excessive oil and dryness occur at the same time but on different areas of your face or body. Gentle cleansers and toners can help mitigate these problems, and you should make an extra effort to protect your skin from sun exposure.

Of course, if these or other problems persist, then you should seek the dedicated dermatological care and advice of Lauren A Daman, MD, PC. Learn more about this practice by visiting their website, or call (860) 246-3533 to make an appointment with the skin surgeon today.
