Connecting Dermatologists and Dermatology Professionals

We all get wrinkles as we age, but we can take steps to minimize or prevent them. Renowned dermatologist Dr. Nicholas Perricone explains the method he's developed to prevent wrinkles. * Dr. Perricone believes that wrinkles are largely caused by inflammation, which is brought on by a variety of factors, including stress, pollution and poor diet. Here are his recommendations for the anti-inflammatory regimen. * He recommends what he calls the three-day "facelift in a fridge," which includes a couple of servings of salmon each day, plenty of fruits and vegetables and good carbs. * He is also a believer in nutritional supplements like alpha lipoic acid, vitamin C ester and DMAE (dimethylaminoethanol). * He also recommends topical creams and lotions that he has developed, which he says have the ability to penetrate the skin and provide anti-inflammatory help. * Don't blame genetics if you have wrinkles. He estimates genetics account for about 40 percent of the characteristics of your skin, but you can control the rest. * You have to protect your skin from the sun, but you need to get about 15 minutes of sunlight every day to get the Vitamin D your body needs.
