Just as skin conditions vary, so, too, do the vast array of skin care programs available today. 

Most skin care products such as astringents, moisturizers and sunscreens are formulated to promote and maintain healthy skin, while others are geared toward repairing and rejuvenating aged or damaged skin.

Excellent skin care results may be realized through medical procedures such as laser surgery, conventional scalpel surgery, or any of several chemical peel treatments. Chemical peels (often called chemosurgery) use a chemical solution, applied by a trained healthcare professional, to remove the top layers of damaged skin. New cells formed during healing produce a tighter, more youthful-looking skin.
 

Chemical peels have proven successful in restoring wrinkled, sun-damaged and blemished skin, and may be applied to the entire face, or specific areas such as the mouth or forehead.
