Thumbing through my new obsession, a book called “Irresistible You”- I just had to speak with the author Jacqueline Schaffer, MD about how to be irresistible from the inside out! This book is the bible for skin care and I just know she will be able to answer all of my burning skin care questions. I would love to share this knowledge with all of you beautiful ladies. I have decided to have a weekly interview series with Dr. Schaffer bringing you amazing skin care tips! Let’s get started! Today’s topic is about the perfect daily skin care regime for glowing skin.
Sarika: Hi Dr. Schaffer, your skin is simply gorgeous. What is your daily skin care routine?
Dr. Schaffer: I have dry sensitive skin so in the morning I start off by cleansing my face with a soft gel based cleanser. You want to avoid using a foaming cleanser in the morning if your skin is on the dryer side. I then nourish my face with a nice serum.
Sarika: What about the eye area? Many people ask what’s the point of eye cream? Can’t one just apply their moisturizer under the eye area?
Dr. Schaffer: Eye cream offers extra hydration for the thin skin around the eyes. The eye area has a very thin layer of skin and requires special care.I personally use concealer so I have noticed that applying eye cream helps my make up last longer, look smoother and I don’t need to use as much!
Sarika:How about anti aging secrets? What’s a great tip?
Dr. Schaffer: I use a sunscreen every single day with a minimum SPF of 30. Be sure to cover your neck, hands and the eye area. These are the places where we see the first signs of aging!
Sarika: What about your night time routine?
Dr. Schaffer: I use a make up wipe and cleanse my face with a foaming cleanser at night. Throughout the day the skin is subject to make up, sweat and pollution so cleansing at night is very important. I follow with a serum, eye cream, moisturizer. I then spray my face with a nice hydrating mist and use a high emollient lotion all over the body. Then I am relaxed and ready for bed.
Sarika: Thank You Dr. Schaffer! Your skin is gorgeous and your daily routine is definitely paying off. We will be back next week discussing foods that keep your skin glowing.
