If rejuvenated skin is what you’re after, talk to your Orange County cosmetic dermatologist about targeted, effective treatment options. If scientifically proven, naturally derived chemical exfoliants are what you need, seek alpha hydroxy acids. If natural emollients are your heart’s desire, see Skin Commandment IV: Hydrate Holistically, located in Dr. Tony Nakhla’s best-selling book (on Amazon.com): The Skin Commandments: 10 Rules to Healthy, Beautiful Skin. Or schedule an appointment with Dr. Nakhla today for a complimentary consultation! Call OC Skin Institute at: (714) 547-6111.
