Anti-aging tips and ‘superstar’ products
Dr. Anatália Moore is a general practitioner and skin specialist with over 11 years of clinical experience.
She told The US Sun that her goal is to equip patients with the knowledge they need to take control of their skin’s journey.
She said the basics of a beauty routine are the same for all ages – it should include an effective cleanser, moisturizer and SPF.
“Moisturizers are my go-to, even when it comes to products that contain active ingredients,” she said.
“Finding a well-balanced moisturizer that provides the right type of hydration, replaces natural oils, and seals them literally stabilizes the skin.
“This alone can quickly soften the appearance of fine lines and texture, as these are often worsened by dehydration.
“It also allows the skin to function as it should.
“It can then heal more quickly, which, among many things, can lead to fewer lines and wrinkles, fewer flare-ups of dermatitis and rosacea, and milder, shorter-lasting breakouts.”
