We want to keep our Seattle dermatology clients current on the latest dermatology news, and one question we’ve all asked is how some famous women manage to defy aging. According to “Allure” columnist Heather Muir, the secrets behind supermodel Christie Brinkley‘s gorgeous skin and how she maintains such health and vitality at age 57, aren’t magic, or multiple dips in the fountain of youth, but her use of simple strategies that are available to every Seattle dermatology patient.
Following a dedicated skin care regime, such as the one formulated for Christie by dermatologist Patricia Wexler, plays a large role in keeping her skin looking amazing. Wexler credits Christie’s faithful use of sunscreen, the number one anti-aging weapon in a woman’s arsenal, as well as her vigilant attention to addressing the signs of aging, as key contributions to her youthful appearance.
Christie doesn’t wait until multiple sunspots develop on her skin; she seeks laser treatment, one of the services offered at our Island Dermatology clinic, at the first sign of a brown spot. Her avoidance of yo-yo dieting, and the loss of elastin that comes with repeated weight gain and loss, and her active, healthy lifestyle have also helped Christie keep her youthful radiance. This is dermatology news that bodes well for every woman, whether or not they’re a supermodel.
