Sensitive Skin This skin type benefits from a lower concentration of alpha hydroxyl acids and
addition of antioxidants. Physician's Choice of Arizona's pHaze #5 Nutrient Toner will heal sun damaged skin and soothe sensitive conditions like rosacea, while providing real nourishment to
skin.
Moisturizers All skin types, even oily ones, need moisture. Applying
right moisturizer to acne-prone skin will inhibit
over-production of oil in
sebaceous glands. Moisturizers can reduce inflammation, repair sun damaged skin and stimulate
production of collagen, which diminishes wrinkles. You know you have used
right moisturizer for your skin by how it feels and makes you look.

Sensitive Skin Skin that is sensitive or is recovering from laser resurfacing or a deep chemical peel will feel soothed and hydrated with pHaze #17 Rebalance from Physician's Choice of Arizona. Men report that
product provides relief from shaving irritations.
Sun Protection There are many over-the-counter sunblocks that claim to block both UVB and UVA rays. What you need to understand is that all
UVA rays need to be blocked if you want to avoid premature aging or, worse, cancerous lesions from developing.
Some studies have shown that avobenzone, (an UVA blocking chemical found in many over-the-counter sunscreens) is unstable in
sun and can cause sun sensitivity in some people. If you are regenerating collagen by using professional products, or are reversing sun damage with chemical peels, you really need to block as much of
sun's UVA spectrum as possible.
Zinc oxide is
only ingredient that Skintegrity relies on to promote
health of our clients' skin, because it blocks all of
UVB rays and UVA rays by reflecting
sun away from your skin. It comes in transparent, cosmetically elegant formulas that do not clog pores. If you play outdoor sports you can choose water resistant formulas. Wearing zinc every day is
most important health and beauty habit you can develop that may even save your life!
Normal, Dry and Sensitive Skin Applied Therapeutics SPF 30 and SPF 45 contains 6.8% zinc oxide in a moisturizing transparent formula. If you want water proof protection, Maximum Sun Protection SunSmart by Applied Therapeutics is a great choice. Dry skin needs to use a moisturizer before applying this block.Oily Skin Sunforgettable by Colorescience is a matte finish (no shine) non-moisturizing formula that contains 12% zinc oxide. The unique powder formula makes this very water resistant sunblock appropriate for all skin types.
