Sue Busch’s guide to slowing down the aging process
Sunscreen
WINTER SUMMER SPRING AND FALL …
It is well documented that sun exposure contributes to wrinkles, sunspots, hyperpigmented spots and the breakdown of skin cells. Sunscreen is the best anti-aging investment you can make and it is a must for skin cancer prevention. The American Academy of Dermatology recommends a broad spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or above. Apply generously every 2 hours.
Sunscreen recommendations:
- Environ Sunscreen SPF 30 (sold at Medical Aesthetics on Tremont)
- Neutrogena sensitive skin sunscreen lotion SPF 60
- La Roch-Posay Anthelios clear skin sunscreen SPF 60
Skin Care
Establish a skin care routine.
Your skin care is essential to healthy skin. It does not have to be complicated but should include a gentle wash, retinol and moisturizer.
Here at Medical Aesthetics on Tremont we recommend Environ Skin Products which are recommended by Tufts Medical Center, a Harvard affiliated Medical Center. Environ’s excellent formula is the product of choice for their burn patients.
See Stephanie Ford, our master esthetician’s post for product recommendation.

- 1st Step: Cleanse and Peel: A mild peel is applied followed by a gentle exfoliation to gently uncover a new layer of skin
