Simplify your skin care program
Yes, even YOU can treat your skin like you were a model.
By Arthur W. Perry, MD, FACS, creator of NightSkin®, DaySkin®, and Natural Block®
You don’t need to spend $1000 a month on your skin to get all the benefits science has to offer. And you don’t need to purchase a dozen products. I’ve designed the world’s simplest skin care program.
I’m a real doctor. I’ve been seeing patients since 1981 and have been a plastic surgeon since 1987. Early on, I realized it didn’t make sense to have facelifts or laser procedures without fixing the damage that the sun has inflicted on your face. So, I prescribed Retin-A® and hydroquinone pigment fader for my patients and put them on a regimen of vitamin C, glycolic acid, and sunscreen. But that’s a lot of steps. Washing your face, exfoliating, and applying these creams and your makeup takes a lot of energy. And it’s a fact of life that, like diets, the more complex the skin care program, the less chance you’ll stick to the program long-term.
Since skin care programs don’t work overnight (despite the ridiculous ads you see), I wanted to design a program that would be easily worked into your regimen – like brushing your teeth and dental flossing, And so I spent a year figuring out how to put the most scientifically proven ingredients into one cream. NightSkin was born about two years ago – it combines a less irritating form of vitamin A with the active form of vitamin C and glycolic acid, a fruit acid. For potent fading of brown spots, I added licorice extract. In NightSkin, you’ll find the vitamins that are destroyed by sunshine. That’s why they’re put on at night!
I knew NightSkin would work, because science has proven the worth of each of the individual ingredients. What I didn’t expect was the speed it would work and the extent of the benefits. That was the big surprise to me when I started using my own concoction on my patients. It decreases the appearance of brown spots on the skin in as little as two weeks, probably because the exfoliant effect of glycolic acid helps wear off the brown skin. In the meantime, it slows the formation of new pigment.
DaySkin was created to make NightSkin work better. And to protect your skin from ongoing sun damage. It doesn’t make sense to try and fix the skin without preventing new damage. So the important ingredient in DaySkin is the zinc oxide sunscreen. It took nearly 60 varieties of DaySkin until I hit it just right. I found that making these skin creams requires a scientific mind, the experience of a clinician that actually sees the problems, and… a bit of artistic skill similar to a chef’s. A lot of people ask me why I just didn’t put in the chemical sunscreens – they’re easy to use and dirt-cheap. But those of you who have listened to me on my weekly radio show know that I consider these to be toxins.
Yes, toxins. They get absorbed into your body and stay there, disrupting your hormones for two days. Not so with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide. They stay on the surface of your skin and do what they’re supposed to do. Reflect the ultraviolet light. And those two sunscreens not only block UVB, but UVA. We now think that the epidemic of skin cancer, particularly melanoma, is due to inadequate protection from UVA. In fact, if you think about it, you’re worse off if you use poorly designed sunscreens that just protect you from UVB – because you’ll be led into a false sense of security and stay in sun longer.
So DaySkin is a sunscreen. But also I put vitamins B3 (niacin), B5 (pantothenic acid), and E into DaySkin. They aren’t destroyed by sunshine and they pack a great punch in rejuvenating the skin.
So that’s it. You don’t have to buy a zillion products to have skin that look nice. And most people don’t need a moisturizer. And no one needs a toner. And, you might not even need any makeup. But that’s another story. And please don’t tell the cosmetics companies I said that.

Compression stockings are now available!
Why compression stockings? If you stand all day, are pregnant, have varicose veins, or have painful, swollen legs, compression stockings will help you. There’s a small selection of heavily discounted stockings that you can order here.
This isn’t the place to find every size, shape, and color of stocking. I’ve selected only the degree of compression that I know will help most people - that’s 20-30 mm Hg. Men will like the black dress Jobst socks that rise to just below the knee. The cost is $61.50 per pair, shipping included. Women will enjoy the “natural color” pantyhose version. The cost is $107.49 per pair, shipping included.
Did you see the Dr. Oz TV show where Paula Begoun, the cosmetics cop, mentioned Natural Block as one of the 3 recommended sunscreens?
