Losing the youthfulness and beauty of your skin with time can be so heartbreaking. While salon treatments can offer a short-term solution, they do not fully contribute to your overall skincare.

For over 35 years, Dr. Zein Obagi has been an internationally renowned dermatologist.

What are the principles of skin care and skin transformation?

One important thing I always remind everyone of is the importance of taking good care of your skin regularly. Below are a few tips that you can practice in your daily life to transform your skin to uncover your most beautiful version:

• Cleansing – Keeping your skin clean is the most important part of maintaining its health. As per the American Academy of Dermatology, it is essential to cleanse your face twice a day, especially after sweating. Always use lukewarm water for cleansing and remember to be gentle on your skin. Choose a cleanser that suits your skin type, age, and the environment where you live or work.
• Skin treatment – If you have certain skin conditions or want to control the signs of aging, you can try skincare products to treat them. Treating the skin for rejuvenation requires regular use of products that you can trust. For example, anti-aging products can help you hide wrinkles and fine lines, while the products for oily skin can control excess oil production. 
• Moisturizing – To achieve healthy skin, you must regularly moisturize it. Moisturizers have antioxidants, lipids, minerals, and vitamins that protect your skin and make it healthy. It is ideal to use the moisturizers right after applying the treatment products to help you skin absorb them better. Depending on your skin type, I will help you choose the right ZO moisturizers. I will also help you determine how much moisturizing is necessary for you, as overuse can lead to clogging of the pores. The moisturizer also has to be peptide-based rather than occlusive-based.
• Skin protectors – It is now commonly known that prolonged exposure to the sun can really damage your skin. Apart from causing signs of aging, direct sunlight can result in severe skin conditions. UV protectors or sunscreen products can ensure that your skin remains healthy and young. Johns Hopkins Medicine suggests that you apply a high-quality sunscreen every two hours.  
• Exfoliation – One of the main reasons why your skin may appear lifeless is the buildup of dead skin cells. No amount of skincare product can help you improve the health of the skin unless you practice gentle exfoliation regularly. Choosing the right exfoliating product is vital to achieve the best result and I can help you select one. 

What is the importance of active ingredients in the products and the DIY home skin care kits?

ZO Products are made of some of the most essential active ingredients, which are clinically proven to be great for skincare. Some of these ingredients include powerful antioxidants, advanced peptides, vitamin A, and vitamin E. These active ingredients play vital roles in the maintenance and transformation of the skin.

• Antioxidants: These DIY skin kits are filled with powerful antioxidants that help protect your skin. Some of the conditions that can cause harm to the skin include inflammation, loosening, wrinkles, scars, and sun damage. Antioxidants have the potential to reduce their occurrences.
• Peptides: Peptides have the ability to increase collagen production and preserve it. It is vital to improve collagen if you want healthy, younger-looking skin. Peptides help to reduce fine lines, strengthen the skin barrier, boost hydration, decrease inflammation, make skin firmer, and treat damaged skin.
• Vitamin A: This is perhaps one of the most important active ingredients found in skincare products. Vitamin A, also known as Retinol Molecule, has many benefits for the skin, including making your skin more youthful, improving collagen production, lowering oil production, reducing pigmentation, and treating acne.
• Vitamin E: Vitamin E is one active ingredient in skincare products that can improve overall skin health and appearance, ensuring that your skin appears youthful. Other than that, vitamin E also helps treating psoriasis, acne, and signs of aging due to sun exposure. 

What is the importance of a good cleansing routine?

I always say that clean skin is the healthiest skin. Your skin is regularly affected by external aggressors like dirt, pollution, sweat, and even your makeup. This is why thoroughly cleaning your skin is vital to keep it healthy and young. A good cleansing routing has many benefits:

• It helps you keep your skin clean, protecting it from blockages, inflammation, acne, and uneven skin toning or blemishes
• It enhances hydration, which helps manage pH levels, guaranteeing enough water retention to make your skin appear fresh and healthy
• It removes the layers of dirt from your skin, enabling skincare products to penetrate effectively. This is why I suggest that you must clean the face well before applying any products on it

Your skincare routine must always begin with the cleansing of your face. I recommend that you wash your face at least twice a day: once in the morning and once in the evening. However, ensure that you are not overdoing it as that can lead to dryness and irritation. Always use lukewarm water for the cleansing process. Also, make sure that you are using high-quality cleaning products for the routine. The ZO DIY skin care kits help in combining all the necessary skin products in easy to use packaging.
