Spring Skin Care News

Healthy skin is in! For the month of April 2007, in celebration of the renewal of spring Dr. Corbin's office is offering a complimentary anti aging hand treatment and hand cream with any regular skin care treatment with Lynne.

Out with the old skin and in with the new. As our skin ages on our face so does the delicate thin skin on our hands. Skin rejuvenation should not stop at the face and neck. Old wrinkled tired looking hands are one of the first true signs of aging. A lifetime of exposure to the elements and sun in southern California can lead to pre mature aging of the hands.

Naturally, as the hands age the collagen breaks down and the bones and veins can become more prominent making hands look aged. On boney hands that really show their age Dr. Corbin replaces fat into the patient’s hands using autologous fat transfer. He takes fat from somewhere on the body and injects it into the hands to give them a more youthful appearance. If the skin has sun damage another minimally invasive solution is to slightly resurface or tighten the skin on the hands using Thermage.

A few quick tips to maintaining youthful looking hands without surgery

1. Use a mild cleansing soap
2. Always moisturize after washing your hands
3. Exfoliate old skin on the hands weekly
4. Don't forget to use sunscreen
5. Protect your hands from harsh chemicals in cleaning agents
6. Moisturize your hands before bed
7. Always wear gloves when gardening or doing yard work
8. Keep the nails well manicured
9. Use a lightening agent to get rid of so - called liver spots

Recipe for soft hands

To make your own simple exfoliate at home use 1/4 cup salt or granulated sugar and mix it with enough baby oil to form a paste. Using the paste rub your hands together for a few minutes until the old skin is sloughed off. Rinse with cool water and "Viola" soft smooth feeling hands.
