Putting the Personal Skin Evaluator to the Test
Have you tried the Personal Skin Evaluator on WebMD.com? Click HERE to check it out. You answer a few questions about your skin type and lifestyle, and then it generates a daytime skin care regimen, a nighttime skin care regimen, lifestyle recommendations and expert tips from the New York Dermatology Group.
When I first saw this, I thought it was too good to be true. I mean, how can an online survey determine what kind of skin care products I should use? Well, I was pleasantly surprised. The answers it gave me were true to my skin type, and they provided me with some insightful and useful tips. It even went into detail about the best ingredients for fighting eye wrinkles, such as retinoids and alpha-hydroxy-acids. Although some of the lifestyle recommendations provoke a “duh”, such as when I selected that I don’t get enough sleep and it told me to get more sleep, they are good reminders that things like sleep, stress, alcohol and eating habits all affect your skin’s health.
Of course, this survey shouldn’t be taken as professional medical advice. If you have a serious concern with your skin, you should visit a dermatologist. He or she can help you prescribe a treatment plan for your problem area and develop a routine to help you maintain healthy, youthful skin.
