Anti-aging tips and “superstar” products
Dr. Anatalia Moore is a general practitioner and dermatologist with over 11 years of clinical experience.
She told US Sun that her goal is to equip patients with the knowledge they need to take control of their skin journey.
She said the basics of a beauty routine are the same at any age and should include an effective cleanser, moisturizer, and SPF.
“More than products with active ingredients, moisturizers are my superstar,” she said.
“Finding a well-balanced moisturizer that provides the right kind of hydration, replaces and seals in natural oils can literally stabilize your skin.
“This on its own can instantly soothe fine lines and texture that are exacerbated by dryness.
“It also allows the skin to function as it should.
“Then you'll heal faster, especially with fewer lines and wrinkles, fewer flare-ups of dermatitis and rosacea, and potentially minor breakouts in the short term.”
