In a report by a Colorado media station, reporters found that the bad economy is causing some people to rethink what they’re willing to spend on skincare.

“What I try to do is urge people to not let go of maintenance when times are tough, said Dr. Rutledge Forney, a dermatologist.

Maintenance is the key to not only looking beautiful, but also staying healthy. As a way to encourage her patients, Dr. Forney urgest them to become creative when it comes to skin care and to see out quality products at the best price.

Sun protection is one of the most important parts of taking care of your skin, so it’s important to remember to protect it from sun damage by using regular sunscreen and wearing a hat while outdoors for long periods of time. Dr. Forney suggests that it doesn’t have to be an expensive sunscreen; what’s most important is the SPF.

In addition to seeking out sun protection, it’s also crucial to keep up with your regular prescription skin creams, however, there are ways to save.

“If you can’t afford Retin A,” she said in an interview with Colorado TV station KKTV, “look for the strongest retinols you can find, it helps to read your label. If you can’t afford a prescription acne medication, benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid come in different percentages. Go for the strongest you can find.”

When it comes to moisturizing creams, it’s all about finding something that’s affordable and effective. JamarkLabs.com offers several beeswax moisturizers that are ideal for nourishing the skin without costing a fortune.

Finally, all skin care patients should remember to not to put off their annual skin cancer checkup.

“If you see a changing lesion on your skin, if something bleeds easily or you see a mole that changes that’s the most important thing,” she said.

Should you notice a change, it’s important to see your dermatologist immediately as to avoid a dangerous health risk.

According to a recent report featured in HealthDay, skin troubles are becoming rampant amongst U.S. Troops in both Iraq and Afghanistan. Rashes, eczema, and other skin troubles are just some of the conditions effecting the thousands of men and women serving overseas.

In the history of warfare, skin diseases have been responsible for poor morale and combat ineffectiveness, the researchers noted in the February issue of the Archives of Dermatology. In fact, in tropical and subtropical areas, more than half of the days lost by front line units are due to skin diseases.

“Although skin diseases are rarely fatal, they have significant morbidity; thus they have an appreciable effect on combat medicine and operational primary care,” said study author Dr. Timothy A. McGraw, from the U.S. government’s Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences and the Pentagon Air Force Flight Medicine Clinic.
