A PLASTIC SURGEON'S TIPS ON SKIN CARE
A Medical Rationale
Care of the skin requires that you keep it clean and protect
it from the challenges of the environment. You have to remove dirt and
the airborne pollutants as you clean it without stripping the skin of its
natural protective oils and without causing chemical changes that make
dirt bond to it even more strongly. You must protect it from the aging
effect of ultraviolet radiation and allow it to retain its moisture barrier
against the drying effects of the outdoors while you nourish it as much
as possible. Most importantly, you have to avoid anything likely to irritate
or cause allergy.
The Basic Method
Effective skin care is as simple as 1-2-3. First you CLEANSE
the skin, secondly you TONE the skin and CLARIFY problem areas. Thirdly
you MOISTURIZE and PROTECT it. The regimen is carried out twice daily -
in the morning and before retiring.
A Special Line of Skin Care Products Formulated by Dr. Robert L. Cucin
and Manufactured by Rocin Laboratories, Inc.
The Rocin Skin Care products are formulated with Vitamins
A, D, E, and B5 (Panthenol) in a highly-purified soluble collagen imported
from Basel, Switzerland The CLEANSER is a special collagen-based, pH-balanced
wash which does not have detergent in its base nor leave a detergent residue.
It initiates the regimen by removing dirt and pollutants from the skin
without making it"sticky" as do ordinary bar soaps.
Step two involves diminishing the pores with a mild astringent,
the TONER which "plumps up" the cells and minimizes fine wrinkles or deeper
cleansing in problem areas with the CLARIFIER. Those with oilier and younger
skins may prefer regular use of the CLARIFIER. Men generally like the tingly
effect of the CLARIFIER used as an aftershave.
Moisturizing requires use of the night time MOISTURIZER which
is formulated for each of the different skin types - DRY, REGULAR, and
HYPERSENSITIVE. There is an UNDERMAKEUP MOISTURIZER for day time use and
an oil-free EYELID MOISTURIZER for the delicate eyelid skin reflective
of its special needs.
Also specially formulated are COLLAGEN BODY AND HAND MOISTURIZER,
a MOISTURIZING SUNSCREEN to protect against the sunlight's UV rays, a deep
cleansing, wash-off KAOLIN FACE MASK which lessens fine wrinkles, and a
COLLAGEN FADE CREAM designed to remove the brown spots that accompany age.
