Dr. Stuart Kaplan, a renowned Beverly Hills Dermatologist, and creator of kaplanMD, has identified 3 types of skin aging caused by Time, Hormonal Imbalances, and Environmental Damage.Dr. Kaplan’s philosophy is simple: Help people look as beautiful on the outside, as they feel on the inside. In this spirit he created kaplanMD Skincare, specifically formulated for women’s unique skin chemistry and real-life needs. It is a complete skincare regimen that contains 10 active ingredients per product to prevent and treat all 3 types of skin aging, in one concise line.
Dry skin is due to the level of moisture content in our skin. You have probably noticed that your skin gets dry and scaly more frequently the older you get. Thereason for this is, as we get older, our skin thins and loses hyaluronic acid, which keeps skin thick and helps in water retention. For example, a thick sponge always holds more water than a thinner sponge. Our skin also loses its ability to make our outer protective lipid layer, and loses its elasticity. This causes our skin to become brittle and crack more easily. As a result, our skin becomes more sensitive. You may have noticed that certain moisturizers and fragrances that you’ve used in the past have suddenly become very irritating.
Popular belief will lead you to believe dry skin can be regulated by drinking 8 glasses of water a day. This is not the case. Like everything, prevention is key to controlling dry skin. In addition to the 6 recommendations above, look forskincare products that contain high concentrations of potent anti-aging ingredients that not only moisturize, but help build up skin thickness.
Skincare product ingredients to look for include hyaluronic acid, soy, peptides and marine collagen. To help soothe irritated dry skin, look for products that contain oatmeal, aloe vera and chamomile.

LIP 20 is the first complete, dermatologist-formulated lip treatment created to moisturize, contour, plump, and protect ~All-In-One! .
Products that claim to plump lips actually use irritants to force the Lips to swell. These gimmicky products are an unnatural and unhealthy stimulant to one of the most delicate areas of our face. Many lip glosses and lip treatments also contain castor oil or petroleum jelly, which actually direct sunlight to your lips, causing them to chap, dry, and sunburn very easily.LIP 20 contains NO Castor Oil or Petroleum Jelly. And like all kaplanMD products, LIP 20 contains 10 active ingredients to prevent all 3 types of skin aging, including:
- SPF 20 sunburn protection.
- Seabuckthorn Berry Extract,a moisturizer 20 times more effective than Vitamin E alone.
- Hyaluronic Filling Spheres, which are micro-injected into the lip tissues to immediately smooth fine lines and wrinkles.
- Exclusive Phytogenic Triactive Complex of Soy, Grapeseed, and Black Cohosh, for superior anti-aging benefits.
- C10-30 for extraordinary skin conditioning & repair.
- Patented Peptides & Marine Collagen to contour and redefine the lip line.
While in flight, your skin is exposed to dry pressurized air, which has no moisture. When humidity (the amount of water present in the atmosphere) is low, your skin will dry out faster. Long exposure to this dry, pressurized air causes skin to become dry, scaly, less radiant, and less supple. This leads to a very tired, haggard appearance upon landing.
One
way to help avoid this is to apply a very rich moisturizer to the face
and neck pre-flight. Drink non-carbonated water during the flight, and
try to avoid alcohol and caffeine. Caffeine is a diuretic that
actually dehydrates your skin.
Upon landing, wash your face and neck, and apply a thin layer of the kaplanMD Perfecting Serum. This Serum contains a 50% concentration of hyaluronic acid, along with Sweet Pea, Licorice and Milk Thistle extract, which works to immediately hydrate, firm and brighten skin. If you land during the morning or afternoon, after applying the Serum, apply a light layer of moisturizer that contains a minimum SPF 15.
Celebrity Fans, Triactive Complex, kaplanMD PressAbout a month ago, I gave mom a sample of Replenishing Night Cream to try. She is the skincare lady, and has , ahem, "mature skin". It is good skin, however. Still somewhat oily, her main concerns are firmness, and lessening of the fine lines at the eye area
She gives the Kaplan MD high marks. She is very happy with it. One of the things she has seen most, is a boost in overall skintone, skin condition. It looks more even toned and better. There is more of a glow. The product firms extremely well . She feels that the lines do seem less, or at least less defined than before. It also is a non greasy feeling product, and sinks right into skin, but provides plenty of moisture. The company describes it as a velvety cream, and that does apply.
The Replenishing Night Cream sells for 210.00 for 1.7oz ( this lasts quite awhile),and is available on the company website, where you will also find more products and informationShe likes this a lot,( one of the best she has tried , she said) and plans to continue to use it.
especially.
Most skincare products focus only on anti-aging and environmental protection. Yet many skin symptoms are in fact the direct result of hormonal imbalances, specifically, estrogen loss.
Studies show that men and women begin experiencing hormonal imbalances at each transition in our life. Staring in our late 20’s, hormonal imbalances cause skin aging different from symptoms caused by chronological or environmental damage alone. Dr. Kaplan is the first to identify the 3 types of skin aging, as well as the 12 skin symptoms associated with hormonal imbalances.
Only kaplanMD skincare is clinically proven to prevent and treat all 3 types of skin aging. Every product contains no less than 10 active ingredients, including a restorative blend of patented peptides, amino acids, and vitamins. Every kaplanMD product also contains the exclusive Phytogenic Triactive Complex, of organic Soy, to firm and plump skin, Grapeseed extract, a powerful antioxidant to fight free-radicals, and exotic Black Cohosh, to help treat the skin symptoms caused by hormonal imbalances.
These ingredients are then delivered deep within the skin using a patented Time-Release Microsphere Delivery System, previously found only in prescription medications. With 10 active ingredients per product, kaplanMD is a true ‘balanced diet’ for your skin giving you the benefit of a dozen skincare products in just 1 convenient application
