Start becoming aware of the signs of hearing loss, and consult your doctor or audiologist if you start to notice some of the symptoms: • Trouble hearing over the phone • Vertigo, causing dizziness, pain, or ringing in the ears • Mumbled voices • Having to ask others to repeat themselves often • Avoidance of social situations • Having a family medical history of hearing loss Individuals with hearing loss may often be reluctant to face the reality, but may not know about the deeper implications of letting it go untreated. If you or someone you know may be experiencing some of the symptoms of hearing loss, be sure to understand and share the benefits of seeking treatment. TAKE CARE OF YOUR SKIN As we learned in grade school, our largest organ is our skin. Our skin regulates body temperature, protects against the elements, and gives us the feeling of different sensations. Since our skin does so much for us, it is important to take care of it. A skincare routine is important for men and women of all ages, although it will vary throughout the years. TEENAGE YEARS When starting your first skincare routine, it’s important to first determine your skin type. It’s pretty simple to figure out whether oily, dry, or combination. Between breakouts and blemishes, think about how your skin feels on a day-to-day basis. Here are some do’s and don’ts about treating your skin during your teens: VISIT US AT www.KeystoneOralSurgery.com SPONSORED CONTENT • DO: Pick a cleanser, scrub, toner, and moisturizer that are meant for your skin type. Labels make it easy to choose between the different brands. Many brands have a line of products developed especially for oily, dry, or combination skin. It is still important to put on moisturizer if you have oily skin, but be sure to look for one that is oil-free. • DO: Look for a moisturizer or foundation that has SPF! It is important to keep an SPF product on whenever you go outside to protect your skin from the damaging effects of the sun in the future (you’ll be so glad you did). • DON’T: Pick! You can pick your friends, but don’t pick your stubborn pimples! Although you might want to rid yourself of whiteheads and blackheads, resist the urge! This could lead to long-term, damaging effects on your skin. • DON’T: Leave makeup on overnight. As tempting as it is to crash after a long day, make sure to give your pores a rest from makeup. Makeup-removing wipes are a quick alternative to at least get a majority of products off of your face. • DO: Be sure to wipe down your cell phone. Bacteria can live on the surface and cause major breakouts on your cheeks and chin if not properly sanitized. PREVENTION YEARS As a young adult, it’s important to continue good habits of caring for your skin. This is the prime age to prevent unwanted wrinkles that you may start to face in the next five to 10 years. Now is the time to take charge by: • Wearing eye cream. We have seen the commercials about preventing wrinkles. But when do you have to start? NOW!
