Obagi Skin Care 101

by Low Jeremy

To become beautiful seems to be in everyone’s list of priorities. From diet plans to cosmetic surgery, skin care treatments to augmentation, it seems that a full range of “beautifying” products and services have suddenly mushroomed in American consumer environment.

One of the latest “beautifying” products to hit the market is the Obagi skin system, a revolutionary skin health restoration system that deals not only on the surface symptoms and visible signs of the aging process but also reaches deep into the skin, right down to the cellular level.

The system includes an assortment of bottles that are designed to do different things. One factor that differentiates this system perhaps with other beautifying system is the fact that it is medical in essence rather than cosmetic.

This means that the changes wrought by the process is not only confined on the surface level but inside the body as well. The Obagi system stimulates the collagen in the body to remove wrinkles. Collagen

is a chemical that is found in the dermis along with elastin and hyaluronic acid.

Abusing the system

Obagi is actually only sold in doctor’s offices. At least, it should be sold only in accredited offices. There are however some who buy from doctors and then sell them on the side. This abuse of the product has worried most doctors and experts in the field of skin care.

One must remember that before using the product, patients must first consult for advice and information on how to use it the right way such as the right amounts that they can use, the kind of program and regimen that will fit their skin condition. Obagi does not have a fixed regimen. Different techniques are used for different people. The doctors should also be able to monitor the progress every few weeks.

Inclusions of the system

Obagi skin system includes a gel and a toner, which is initially used to prepare the skin for the others that have to be used. Ordinary soap will not work as

the skin has a natural barrier that must be penetrated. This is one of the reasons also why some cosmetic products do not often work

Once the Obagi Nu-Derm System takes effect, patients will see soft radiant skin. The system restores skin that has not only been damaged by natural aging but also those that have been damaged by the sun and smoking. It corrects surface discoloration and clear away blemishes. In addition, it also stimulates cell renewal and rebuilds lost collagen.
