But now that I\u2019m nearing 30, I\u2019ve realized that \u201cperfect\u201d skin doesn\u2019t magically come to all of us with age. Many of us require additional, professional assistance.\n\nThis is where a dermatologist can come in!\n\nLet me start by making the following very clear: if you experience skin issues, there\u2019s <em>nothing <\/em>wrong with you. You\u2019re still beautiful, just as you are! And hey, don\u2019t feel like making any changes. Nothing wrong with that at all!\n\nBut if you <em>are <\/em>someone who wants a little extra help, this article is for you.

Do you have a history of disease or hormonal imbalance to consider?\n\nIf a dermatologist doesn\u2019t seem to care about your medical history or general lifestyle, this is a BIG red flag! These are all major components in skincare.

Similarly, you want to make sure that you ONLY work with a dermatologist who has the proper credentials.\n\nMost skincare experts will publicly list their qualifications right on their website. Of course, there are other ways you can double-check their credentials. The simplest option is to check into your country\u2019s dermatology association or board.

However, if social distancing rules are still in effect, or you\u2019re not yet comfortable making this kind of in-person appointment, check to see what other options they offer.\n\nFor instance, <a href=\"\/2020\/03\/how-to-work-remotely-as-a-makeup-artist\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">virtual consultations<\/a> can be extremely effective, too. In the midst of a pandemic, they allow you the opportunity to speak directly with your dermatologist of choice \u2013 all from the comfort of your own home!\n\nConsultations are important for a number of reasons. They give you the chance to tell the dermatologist about you and your skincare needs, as well as ask any questions you wish to have answered. The purpose of this consultation is for you to get a proper feel for one another.\n\nCan this dermatologist successfully address and assist with your specific needs? Do you get a good vibe from them? Do you feel you can trust them to provide you with satisfactory service?\n\nThese are all questions that a consultation will help answer. If, after your meeting, your gut is telling you that this ISN\u2019T the right dermatologist for you, don\u2019t hesitate to listen to it! It\u2019s better to take your time and find the right match, than to rush it and be disappointed with the outcome.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;42194&#8243; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; animation=&#8221;None&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Take_a_Skincare_Course\"><\/span>7.
