Are You Keeping a Good Skincare Routine?

Schedule an Appointment

Taking care of your skin is important. Your skin protects your vital organs. Your skin also improves your appearance and helps you look younger. Taking care of your skin begins with a good skincare routine. Your dermatologist can help you establish the right skin care routine to help your skin look healthy and vibrant.

A good skincare routine should:

  • Take only a few minutes
  • Be easy, so you stick to it
  • Be effective, so it enhances the appearance of your skin

A good skincare routine requires a few important steps, including:

Cleaning your skin at least once each day with mild cleansing products like gels or foams. Don’t use soap because it can dry your skin.

Patting your skin gently. Avoid rubbing your skin. Leave a light film of moisture on your skin.

Using an alcohol-free toner. Toners containing alcohol can leave your skin feeling dry and tight.

Applying moisturizer with an SPF of at least 15 to guard your skin from sun damage.

Remember these important tips to care for your skin:

  • Always clean off your makeup before going to bed
  • Use a sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 if you plan on staying in the sun for a long period of time.

Summers and winters can be especially hard on your skin. Sun and wind exposure can age your skin. Remember to:

  • Apply a sunscreen of at least SPF 30
  • Try not to be out in the sun from 10 AM to 4 PM when damaging UV rays are the most harmful
  • Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water
  • Wear sunglasses, a hat, and other protective clothing
  • Use a heavier, cream moisturizer during the winter months
  • Avoid lingering in a hot shower or bath because it can dry your skin
  • Apply lip balm to keep your lips moist and prevent chapping

You can do a lot to keep your skin healthy, attractive, and young-looking. Your dermatologist can help. Your dermatologist offers a wide variety of treatments and services for anti-aging, skin conditions, acne, and more.

Karen F.

I went for a facial with Reganne, and it was wonderful! She was the right balance of chatty and quiet so that I felt personally welcomed but also able to relax and soak in all the luxurious treatment. She also was so kind and considerate, being very careful which products she used because she knew I am sensitive to some fragrances. I scheduled my appointment for the end of my regular work week, and now, this evening I’m feeling fabulous!

RJ and MJ Olson

We both chose the practice for our dermatology well checks and any issues that may be discovered during those visits. Most of the practitioners have been great. I also enjoy the facial services they offer at the practice. Both estheticians I have seen there have been wonderful! They have both been very accommodating given multiple allergies that can make my skin reactive. I look forward to my time with the esthetician.

Cathy Robinson

The entire staff is courteous and very helpful. They were right on time. They work together well. They are accepting of questions and are willing to answer the questions. They offer reminders for follow up appointments. I am very pleased to be a patient of this office.

Susan Zeller

As a new patient I greatly appreciated getting an appointment with a few days of submitting my application form instead of a long wait. The staff at the front desk were very pleasant, efficient and helpful in making this happen. The service I received from my doctor was good.

David M was great in all key areas that were important to me. Skill, bedside manner, updates during the surgery and his summary after the procedure. His nurse was also first rate. Thank you both for all that you did for me. NP Donna has treated me previously at this practice and I echo my comments here for her and the nurses, reception and scheduling employees. Thank you all for a great experience

Jennifer Gemmell

This was the most pleasant doctors appointment I’ve ever experienced. The wait wasn’t too long and there were so many beautiful and interesting things to look at while I was there: beautiful art well presented with identification and background details, fascinating terrariums and other plants, and even an Asian meditation garden. Dr. Macallister was very personable, professional and thorough. I was quite happy with her care. The staff too, were professional and pleasant.

Saw Donna and Megan, had a concerning spot on my face. I needed an injection and they put me eat ease and really helped me to feel comfortable and relaxed. Even though the needle stung a little bit I was completely distracted with easy conversation to keep my mind off of what was going on. They were incredibly reassuring and informative and I love going to see them! Thank you Donna and Megan for a quick and easy visit! :)

Don Wood

Great experience from the time I arrived for the appointment til I was finished. Donna Brigham is the most professional specailist I've seen in quite some time. She is very good at explaining everything in layman's terms. Her bedside manner puts you at ease and makes you very comfortable with the procedures she is doing.
