Diet: The skin is the largest organ in the body and requires energy to keep its vigor. It is therefore entitled to the same treatment as every other organ derived from the principles of good health--- appropriated diet, exercise, adequate rest and happiness  from lifestyle.

Question 2

what are some facial masks you can make at home for aging skin?

Accepted Answer

The best way...: ...To slow down skin aging is to stay out of the sun. I'm not a big fan of masks in general; most of the home-created variety that i've seen in women's magazines involve various combinations of oatmeal, honey, egg whites, and assorted fruits & vegetables. Do any of them help aging skin? I doubt it.

Question 3

does added sugar age skin?

Accepted Answer

Not that I know of: I have never heard of that.  It is not good for you for many other reasons (increased risks of obesity, diabetes) but I have not heard of it causing premature aging of the skin.  Number one cause of this is too much sun exposure.  To use sun block, moisturize regularly, drink plenty of water and be nice to your skin.  Hope this was helpful.  Best of luck.  Dr R

Question 5

what is the best anti-aging skin care cream for men's face?

Accepted Answer

There's no "best": There's no "best" per se. We recommend that men, and everyone, wear sunscreen with at least spf 20, 3 times a day and incorporate a serum with vitamin c (l-ascorbic acid) between 10% and 20%.  Vitamin c is a strong anti-oxidant that may help skin cells regenerate quicker.  Our favorite is the  obagi c- serum line.

Oleander: Nerium is made from oleander, a poisonous plant, depending on how much is used, for how long you could see systemic absorption.
