Age is Nothing but a Number
February 4, 2009
We wanted to start off this month’s blog by wishing Dr. Constantinides a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Our office celebrated by ordering from one of his favorite takeout restaurants for lunch and then we surprised him with a handmade cake with his office logo on it designed by Cupcake Café here in New York City, also another of his favorites. I have attached some pictures of the festivities.
This celebration started me thinking of how age is really just a number. These days we have all begun taking exceptionally good care of not only our bodies but our skin, all in the quest of a more youthful and healthy appearance. Many products on the market are targeted to consumers with the promise of giving your skin a “healthy glow” or reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. These products are not necessarily for everyone and the results vary, but there remains one product we all need that helps us to not just keep our skin looking younger but our bodies too. Sunblock. Although you would not associate sunblock with cold weather and snow, sunscreen is essential in the wintertime. You can find SPF in make-up, lotions, and creams to name a few but this is not enough protection. You need to make a point of applying sunscreen with an SPF 35 to ensure you experience minimal sun damage. You can feel your age but that does not mean you have to look it.
