Edmonton, AB -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/26/2015 -- Skin care is essential for maintaining healthy skin and creating skin wellness, and having a healthy skin is an important contributor to our general health and wellness. Our skin is actually an important part of our immune system and we have to maintain a healthy 'barrier' between our body and our environment. It is also an essential base to the success of any cosmetic surgery or plastic surgery procedures, because without healthy skin, the results will not be as good as they could be, and won't look as nice either. Healthy skin is beautiful skin and it is the topic under discussion this week (26Oct15) on Inside Cosmetic Surgery Today on webtalkradio.net, when show host, Edmonton Cosmetic Dermatologist Dr Barry Lycka talks with Dr Vivian Bucay, board certified dermatologist from her practice in San Antonio, Texas.

In this in-depth interview, Dr Lycka & Dr Bucay begin with a discussion about what exactly is meant by the term 'skin care'. Dr Bucay then highlights several essentials of an effective skin care regimen, starting with the absolute non-negotiable item of sunscreen. The two doctors discuss sunscreens, and the problems caused to our health by skin cancers, particularly melanoma which can be deadly. Skin cancer prevention and skin cancer detection are also included within their discussion. They then consider other essential attributes of skin care such as anti-oxidants and the benefits of Vitamin A derivatives. Dr Bucay and Dr Lycka are firm believers that if people understand why something is so important then they are much more likely to use it, and therefore both doctors provide clear explanations to educate patients and help them make wise choices when it comes to skin care and their health in general.
