Skincare Regimen
At Summerlin Dermatology, we believe that great skin starts with a personalized, consistent skincare regimen. Whether you’re looking to address fine lines, acne, dryness, or sun damage, the right combination of medical-grade skincare products and professional treatments can make a significant difference. A well-rounded skincare routine should cleanse, hydrate, and protect while incorporating targeted treatments for your specific skin type and concerns.
What Is a Skincare Regimen?
A skincare regimen is a structured routine of applying cleansers, moisturizers, serums, and sunscreens in a specific order to protect and nourish your skin. The most effective regimen includes three essential steps:
Cleansing – Removes dirt, oil, and impurities.
Moisturizing – Hydrates and supports the skin barrier.
Protecting – Sunscreen shields against UV damage and aging.
A personalized skincare plan also incorporates targeted treatments like antioxidant serums, retinol, or exfoliants based on your needs. The right combination of at-home care and in-office treatments ensures optimal results for long-term skin health.
Signs That You Need a Better Skincare Regimen
If you experience any of the following, your current routine may need adjustments or expert recommendations:
Persistent dryness, flakiness, or irritation.
Acne breakouts, blackheads, or clogged pores.
Uneven skin tone, dark spots, or hyperpigmentation.
Fine lines, wrinkles, and loss of skin firmness.
Your skincare products aren’t delivering noticeable improvements.
A professional skin analysis at Summerlin Dermatology can help identify gaps in your regimen and recommend solutions to restore your skin’s natural balance.
How to Build an Effective Skincare Routine
A morning routine should focus on protection and hydration, while an evening routine supports repair and renewal.
Morning Routine – Prepping and Protecting Your Skin
Cleanse – Removes overnight oil buildup.
Tone (Optional) – Helps balance skin pH and enhance hydration.
Treat – Apply antioxidant serums (like Vitamin C) to brighten and protect.
Moisturize – Hydrate with a lightweight moisturizer.
Sunscreen – Broad-spectrum SPF 40+ is essential every day.
Evening Routine – Repairing and Rejuvenating
Double Cleanse – Oil-based cleanser followed by a gentle facial cleanser.
Exfoliate (2-3x per week) – AHA/BHA or enzyme exfoliation removes dead skin.
Targeted Treatments – Retinol, hyaluronic acid, or peptides based on your skin concerns.
