Before and After Obagi Nu-Derm (24 weeks) |
OBAGI DURING SUMMER?
YOU BET. Many of our patients use the Obagi Nu- Derm prescription system (with trentinoin and hydroquionone) to correct hyperpigmentation and achieve younger looking skin. This effective system requires a commitment to daily use, as well as fairly strict sun avoidance. But that doesn't mean you should stop using these products during the sunniest months.
"Stopping your Nu Derm products increases the chance of additional photo damage - the very thing we are trying to correct and avoid," says Dr. Jeanie Leddon. "During summer, we advise patients to continue using their Nu Derm products and double down on sun protection."
That means sun avoidance during the peak hours of 10 am to 4 pm, wearing a hat when outdoors, and reapplying sunscreen after sweating, swimming, or every 2 hours while outdoors. With the proper protection, you can experience the benefits of great skin care, all year long.
