Dermatologist Advice: Don’t Let the Time Change Harm Your Skin
As a dermatologist serving West Hollywood, Beverly Hills, and the entire Los Angeles area, Dr. Derek Jones sees plenty of damage done to skin by sun, pollution, and other harsh elements. While the injectable BOTOX® and dermal fillers can smooth away wrinkles, he encourages his patients to care for their skin to keep it as young-looking as possible by using sunscreen, staying hydrated, and getting plenty of sleep.
Daylight Saving Time begins at 2 a.m. on Sunday, March 13, prompting many people to grumble about “losing an hour.” Though you may be tempted to stay up later (when the clock says 9 p.m., you’ll still feel as awake as you typically do at 8 p.m.), remember that you’ll pay for it in the morning. When the alarm goes off at 6 a.m., but your body believes it’s 5 a.m. and still wants another hour of sleep, you’ll be sorry.
Dermatologist Dr. Jones’ expert advice is more than a friendly reminder to give your snooze button a break. A lack of adequate sleep is bad for your skin, which needs down time, just like the rest of you. Giving your body proper rest allows the skin to heal from some of the damages of the day, balance out hydration, and fight infections and inflammations, allowing you to wake up and put your best face forward.
Of course, you should also remember to take off any makeup at night before you get in bed, both to spare your clean pillowcase and to ensure that the only thing on your cheeks, eyelids, chin, and forehead is your beautiful skin.
Dr. Derek Jones is a dermatologist with a large West Hollywood, Beverly Hills and greater Los Angeles patient base, though he welcomes patients from anywhere.
