What I didn't realize was that my dermatologist skin care was part of the problem. You see, dermatology skin care very rarely uses a light touch. The whole point of going to a skin care dermatologist is getting something that will work, and work now. Dermatological skin creams often have steroids, antibiotics, or other harsh ingredients. For severe problems, it can be just what the doctor ordered, but for milder issues, it can often make the problem much worse.
Unfortunately, I didn't discover this fact until much later. By the time I gave up my faith in dermatologist skin care , I was no longer dealing with the problems of youth, but with those of age. I went to my dermatologist for anti aging creams, wrinkle removers, and all kinds of other stuff like that. My skin looked mottled to me, and although my friends insisted that there was nothing wrong with it, I knew differently. Unfortunately, all that my dermatologist could do was to irritate my skin further.
Fortunately, one of my friends took me to a cosmetics store and showed me what was what. She had gone to the doctor to get dermatologist skin care when she was younger too, so she knew all about it. In her case, however, some of the skincare products had caused a severe reaction. She had not done well with the steroidal cream they had given her, and it made her very sick. She had learned the hard way what she was showing me the easy way: that sometimes over the counter skincare is the very best way to go.
