Obagi Nu-Derm Tips & Secrets
Here are some Obagi Nu-Derm Tips. Some of these Obagi Nu-Derm tips & secrets really helped me! (Some I found out after it didn't apply... like the Obagi Nu-Derm tip about using diaper cream to soothe redness...)
* If the tretinoin (Retin-A) is wreaking havoc with your skin, try using it in moderation. Stop it for a day or two, until your skin gets a little back to normal and the redness and peeling gets a lot better (and more comfortable for you:). Then continue using it. You might consider mixing it with a little more moisturizer when you start using it again, so that it becomes more diluted and thus a little weaker. Stopping and then continuing will just slow the process, not stop it completely.
* Instead of stopping, you can also use Clear#3 at night. It helps a huge lot!
* BTW, time flies by. Stick to your guns (not if it's excessively red and painful, Ditto to that!) and before you know it you'll have soft, new skin!
* If you're peeling very badly, here's something you can do: Take a hot shower and run your fingers gently across your chin & cheeks with a soft rubbing motion. Your flaky skin will fall off quite easily. It's best if you don't use a towel.
* You can apply Aquaphor (bought OTC) on your lips and the corners of your mouth to relieve dry lips. It really helps!
* If your skin is excessively red and hurting you can also apply Action or Tolereen. (These products are from Obagi)
* If your skin is really red, you can also try using a diaper cream. It contains zinc which soothes skin.
I hope you enjoyed these Obagi Nu-Derm tips & secrets. Even if they don't apply to you right now it's good to remember them because you never know when a friend or a family member will be able to benefit from these Obagi Nu-Derm tips!
