Obagi skin care products - a review of the Obagi system

The philosophy behind Obagi skin care products is to treat the skin at a deeper cellular level in a way that will encourage new healthier growth. This differs from most other products which offer cosmetic skin care solutions. Obagi products are part of a system or lifestyle of skin care. To embark upon this programme consumers must first receive an initial consultation from an Obagi trained doctor. They will assess the skin and offer a programme of treatment. Once successful, the programme must be maintained by a series of lifestyle choices and Obagi products.

Obagi offer a Nuderm product skin care range, containing natural extracts and healing bodies with a primary focus on replenishing solar and smoke damaged skin. The main symptoms of the human skin being exposed to these chemicals are pigment problems, for example discolouration and blemishes, making skin sensitive, dry and irritable. Obagi skin care Nuderm products concentrate on renewing skin cells and the correction and stimulation of the skin. The results of the following products, if used regularly should re-hydrate the skin, resulting in an all round healthier appearance.

One of their most successful products is the Odagi Blue Peel. This is a chemical peel of medium strength. It is a twenty minute non surgical procedure that is performed in the doctors office. The very top layer of the skin is peeled away and the underlying dermis treated with products that stimulate new growth. This new skin surface will be clearer and smoother than the previous. The skin is usually tender for twenty four hours afterwards, then the new results will be visible. If maintained with Obagi products the results are a dramatic enhancement of the complexion. Sometimes more than one peel is required to achieve the desired effect.

The main boast of Obagi products is that they are specifically tailored to suit each individual's skin. Working in conjunction with the Obagi doctor a plan of treatment is devised that is unique to that person's skin care requirement. If followed they claim that new skin cell growth will be better that the previous with clearer pigmentation, tighter pores and fewer lines.

Obagi offer a variety of skin care products, however, it is the choice of the individual customer as to which product best suits their skin type. Obagi are a successful company whose products can be selected to suit all skin types and colours for both men and women of all ages.

Cost can be a major implication as to the choice of products, and although the beauty and skin care market is massive, prices for Obagi products can still range from £15 to £50. It is therefore advisable that assistance and advice is sought from a qualified representative to ensure that the customer purchases the most beneficial products and is certain on there most effective usage.
