I'm Dr. Lawrence Samuels, chief of dermatology at St. Luke's Hospital in St. Louis, Missouri, and founder of RxSystems PF. And I'm going to teach you how to get rid of those facial wrinkles with facial masks. It may sound easy and it is easy, if you prepare the skin properly. In other words, a facial mask is really going to be only as good as what you do to prepare the skin for that facial mask. What that means, is that you have to use some type of exfoliating facial cleanser. I happen to prefer the cleansers that are not granular, that contain things like Glypoic Complex, which is a combination of glycolic acid and alpha lipoic acid. That gently help that normal exfoliation of the skin and actually helps restore that normal acidic pH of the skin. You should use tepid water, pat dry, which obviously helps exfoliate those dead skin cells, as well as hydrate the skin. One can then, take their facial mask, which I prefer hydrating facial mask, I prefer Rx Systems PF Hydratiing Facial Mask, because of the humectants, peptides and anti-oxidants that it contain. When you're using a facial mask, you actually apply it to the skin, rubbing it in, but then, applying even extra to the skin. And allow it to sit on the surface of the stratum corneum, which is that outer dead cell layer. So that it helps actually penetrate and again, the fact that you prepared the skin with that exfoliating cleanser, the skin had a little bit of moisture from cleansing the skin. Helps those humectants or hydrating ingredients to really penetrate that outer layer of skin. After you've done that, the mask should be rinsed off, pat dry, again, wait two or three minutes, and it's critical to apply some type of, again, hydrating moisturizer. If it's in the evening, my preference is usually some type of peptide or hydrating moisturizer. Again, containing solubilized collagen, elastin, anti-oxidants. However, if it's in the morning, before you're going to go out, before you apply your makeup, you want to make sure you apply a facial moisturizer with an SPF of at least 30. Preferably with micronized zinc oxide or titanium dioxide. At RxSystems PF, w ehave a facial moisturizer with an SPF of 35, which contains six percent micronized zinc oxide. Which means it goes in clear and even, so that it allows for very easy application of your makeup. Again, that facial mask to help get rid of those facial lines and wrinkles, is very important to use. It doesn't have to be used everyday, but should be used on some regular basis. Particularly during the winter time, with low temperatures and the humidity that we have in our home. Again, this is Dr. Lawrence Samuels, chief of dermatology at St. Luke's Hospital in St. Louis, Missouri, and founder of RxSystems PF. And I explained how to get rid of facial wrinkles with facial masks.
