About Me

An Annual Visit

When I turned 35, I started taking better care of my skin. Because I wanted to both look young for as long as possible and prevent skin cancer, I began wearing more sunscreen. I also began applying moisturizer to my face and hands twice each day. I bought a microdermabrasion kit to use at home. I even visited a dermatologist for the first time in my life. This caring medical professional examined my face, hands, and arms for signs of sun damage. On this blog, I hope you will discover the benefits of seeing a dermatologist on an annual basis.
