Saving Face

Had a talk this morning with Dr. Mark Pinsky - from the American Board of Plastic Surgery. He was talking - one on one - with reporters, nationwide about the latest in cosmetic surgery and all those creams touted as preventing wrinkles and turning back the hands of time.
Interestingly, he's not a proponent of cosmetic surgery - but he is a big supporter of botox and fillers, particularly hyaluronic acid. He also votes for starting early.
But number one on is list .. WEAR SUNSCREEN. Then, the daily use of a good moisturizer. As for the over the counter products he's fond of those containing antioxidents, the glycolic acid products and creams with peptides. While Retin A is still the gold standard, he cautions, it should only be used with a doctor's supervision - moreover, before starting any facial care routine, he suggests, talking with a dermatologist.
