The Creation of ZO Skin Health
Over the past several years, I noticed that 6 out of 10 female patients complained about sensitive skin, regardless of age, as compared to no complaints from male patients. An analysis of these patients revealed the most common cause was improper use of skin care products, particularly overusage of moisturizers at an early age.
Overuse of moisturizers alters the skin's barrier function, making skin weak and intolerant to environmental factors. When patients seek treatment for medical conditions, such as acne, pigmentation, and photodamage, which require use of creams that cause redness, dryness, and exfoliation, these patients have difficulty tolerating treatment.
Most women follow a skin care philosophy of cleaning and moisturizing that is outdated, wrong, and can be damaging to the skin. This approach has given rise to a large population of women who delay medical advise and necessary treatment. For this reason, I felt it was necessary to change this outdated approach to skin care and introduce a new concept that can benefit skin and keep it at its best and in the strongest condition.
ZO Skin Health? emphasizes early prevention and strengthening the skin as its primary objective. The line of ZO Skin Health? products is designed to work synergistically with the Obagi medical systems (Nu-Derm, Crx, Clenziderm) by making skin repair and treatment friendlier.
