Skin Products to Use Before Facial Surgery

Video Transcript

"Hi my name is Mary Thinnes and I'm a skin care expert. Now I'm going to discuss with you the proper products to use at home for patients prior to surgery. So that being said, as I mentioned before, its very important that you keep your skin moisturized prior to surgery especially. And one of the products that I would recommend is hyaluronic acid. And that, like I said, our bodies are made up of hyaluronic acids so its is a moisturizer. And that one is going to keep your skin really moisturized. And that you can see its not anything in color, its clear and its just left on the skin to dry. Another product I would recommend are night treatments. The reason why I say night treatments is 'cause those are heavier moisturizers because your skin sleeps at night just like you do. So it doesn't take in products the same rate that you do when you're awake. So that's why moisturizers at night are a lot heavier and richer. Like this anti oxidant treatment. This ultimate anti oxidant treatment is loaded with ton of anti oxidants and vitamins and those are important especially for mature skin that's getting prepared for a face lift or what not. But it is a little shiny as you can tell, but it is a richer cream. And that's going to be used as your night treatment as well. Facial cleansing creams are important too because those are what's used for mature, aging skin. And that being said those are the products I would recommend for patients prior to surgery."
