How often do you read about the importance of wearing sun screen but just assume that because you spend most of your day sitting behind a desk that it doesn't apply to you? Of course, you aren't thinking about the time you spend walking to and from work, the fact that you enjoy sitting outside during lunch, or that you actually end up spending a pretty good amount of time in the sun each day. Now, we'll stop before we get into the "can you get sunburned through windows" argument, but clearly, there is more than just "am I going to spend all of today outside" when it comes to wearing sunscreen. The use of sunscreen is just one example of the many different ways that skin care routines get abandoned. Other common ideas (that are wrong, mind you) are that people with oily skin don't need moisturizer or that exfoliation isn't needed by those with clear, smooth skin. Face skin care can seem pretty complex, but ultimately, all skin has pretty similar needs: it wants to be clean, it wants to have dead skin cells sloughed off, it wants to be moisturized, especially in dry months or after exposure to water (which is actually quite drying for skin). When you choose facial skin care products, that is the time to evaluate the needs of your skin and buy accordingly. If you are in your twenties and have clear skin, you want a very gentle exfoliant, and probably don't want to use it more than twice a week. If you have very oily skin, you want to buy a moisturizer that is oil-free and won't clog pores. Not all skin issues can be completely solved with the products you see at the store- sometimes a little extra help is required to produce the skin that you want to see in the mirror. In these cases, many people turn to prescription products. The Obagi skin care products are a unique example of prescription skin care. In order for a doctor to prescribe these products, they must first be licensed to do so. As a result, there are a number of places where people wouldn't have any access to these products were it not for the Internet. Obagi is sold online for those who cannot see a doctor in person, with the consultation taking place before the order is placed so that a doctor can first determine if this line of products would be an appropriate treatment for the would-be client's skin.
