DR. GREGORY NIKOLAIDIS: Hi, this is Dr. Gregory Nikolaidis with Westlake Dermatology and Cosmetic Surgery here to discuss skin care in the 60s. Skin care in the 60s, it's important for patients to remember to moisturize their skin. Not only is there importance for a sun screen and sun protection, as in patients in their 50s, patients needs to remember to moisturize their skin because their skin is not producing as much oils. We like products that typically have some form of ceramide in them because that helps reestablish the natural lipid layer of the skin. In addition, patient should notice any changing condition of the skin, such as areas of the skin that do not heal or bleed because this may be skin cancers. These spots should be evaluated by a board certified dermatologist to ensure that they are treated quickly and correctly.
