It’s that time of the year, and even if the temperature hasn't drastically dropped here in New Smyrna Beach, a subtle shift in humidity or the start of indoor heating can leave your skin feeling tight and totally parched. It's a clear signal that your skin needs extra help to hold onto moisture! It's time to put away those super lightweight summer lotions.

This month, I really encourage you to choose a product that offers more deeply nourishing hydration. And here’s a crucial tip: make sure to prioritize your nighttime skin care routine, since that's when your skin is naturally in maximum repair mode and can absorb the most benefit. Giving your skin consistent, deep hydration is the key right now.

Make this simple switch now, and you can maintain comfortable, healthy skin right through the cooler months.

Kindness to others often lives in the smallest gestures:
A patient ear when someone’s overwhelmed.
A pause before reacting.
A gentle word when someone’s feeling unseen—even in a crowded room.

On , remember: your presence can be a quiet comfort. Not because you fix anything—but because you show up, softly and without agenda.

Sometimes, the most healing thing we offer isn’t a solution… it’s stillness.
And that stillness? It counts when you turn it toward yourself, too.
However you’re feeling today—remember you need to show that same kindness to yourself too.

Skin Ritual Sundays: Body Care Counts

We always take extra time for our face care, but this Sunday, let's remember that the skin on your body deserves just as much dedicated love and attention. Let's turn simple body care into a grounding, relaxing ritual that nourishes you from the outside in.

Consistent body care isn't just about looking good—it's about feeling good and feeling protected. It instantly improves your skin's texture and hydration, boosts your confidence, and is absolutely essential, especially as we move into drier months or recover from summer sun exposure.

Follow this simple ritual

Make your shower or bath a sacred moment with this two-step practice:

🌿 Awaken Your Skin: Before you get wet, grab a dry brush or your favorite body scrub. Gently exfoliate your entire body. This invigorating step helps boost circulation and sweeps away dull skin cells, instantly revealing a fresh glow.

🌿 Lock in the Love: As soon as you step out of the bath or shower, while your skin is still wonderfully damp, liberally apply a rich, nourishing body cream or oil. Applying it when damp locks in that water, giving you lasting, deep hydration.

Your skin is your largest organ, and it works hard to protect you. Take these few extra minutes today to nourish it.

This is your time to slow down, to nourish, and to feel the simple, profound joy of soft skin and a strong, loving ritual.

Listen Up: Your skin is talking!

It’s and our annual reminder to shift our perspective: your skin is so much more than just a surface layer.

It's a hardworking organ, a vital protector, and a key indicator of what's happening internally. If you notice persistent dryness, sudden sensitivity, or dullness, that's your skin sending a signal that it needs attention and care.

Don't dismiss those quiet cues! Use November as your motivation to reassess your routine, introduce more kindness to your cleansing habits, and give your skin the hydration and attention it truly deserves. Prioritize your skin health, head to toe!

How will you be celebrating your skin this month?

It’s and here’s a reminder that stress doesn’t just live in your mind—it shows up on your skin.

Your skin is deeply connected to your nervous system. When stress spikes, cortisol rises—triggering inflammation, oil production, and immune responses that can worsen conditions like acne, eczema, rosacea, and psoriasis.

That flare-up? It might not be your skincare—it might be your stress load.

A few gentle ways to support your skin when stress is high:

🌿 Prioritize consistent sleep—even one extra hour can lower inflammation
🌿 Keep your routine simple: avoid over-cleansing or trying too many new products at once
🌿 Stay hydrated and nourish your body with anti-inflammatory foods (think leafy greens, berries, omega-3s)
🌿 Try a 2-minute breathing reset: inhale for 4 counts, hold for 4, exhale for 6—repeat 3x

Your skin reflects your inner world. Sometimes, the best thing you can do for it is to care of you.

Today, we gain an hour. In a world that glorifies “more”—more work, more screens, more speed—this pause is a gift.

Consider using it to support your skin and your nervous system:
• A mindful evening cleanse (no rushing!)
• 30 minutes of screen-free wind-down before bed
• Or light a candle, dim the lights, and give yourself a moment to just breathe

Healthy skin starts with a calm mind. Give yourself permission to slow down today.

After all—you can’t pour from an empty cup, even if it’s just an hour fuller.

Progress isn’t always dramatic—but it’s always worth celebrating.

For many, nearly 75% of psoriasis-related skin involvement can be effectively managed with topical treatments alone. That doesn’t mean every day is easy. It doesn’t mean flares never return. But it does mean there’s real, tangible hope in consistent care.

Healing isn’t a straight line. It’s a winding path of trial, patience, and small victories. The day you got out of bed despite discomfort. The morning you chose kindness over frustration. The moment you looked in the mirror and said, “I’m doing my best”—and meant it.

This week, we honor your journey—not for its perfection, but for its persistence.

Because every good day? That’s you, winning.

Wishing you a Halloween filled with cozy sweaters, flickering jack-o’-lanterns, and the kind of candy that makes you smile all the way home.

May your night be merry, your company delightful, and your candy bowl never run empty!

Happy Halloween from our hearts to yours.

Healing isn’t a solo act—it’s a shared rhythm.

86% of people with psoriasis say that connecting with others who truly understand their experience makes a real difference in their emotional well-being. That’s not just a statistic—it’s a lifeline.

Because sometimes, the most powerful medicine isn’t in a tube or a prescription pad. It’s in a text from someone who gets it. A comment that says, “Me too.” A community that reminds you: you’re not broken. You’re not burdensome. You belong.

Trust your body. Trust your care team. And trust the power of showing up—exactly as you are—among people who see you, not just your skin.

is here—and it’s a reminder: you don’t have to navigate this alone.

Psoriasis isn’t just a rash. It’s fatigue, frustration, flares that disrupt your day, and moments when your skin feels like it’s working against you. But there’s also real hope: many people see a significant reduction in how psoriasis impacts their daily life once they start a treatment plan that’s right for them.

Clear skin might be the goal—but relief is the priority.

If you’re dealing with painful flares, itching that won’t quit, or skin that’s affecting your confidence or comfort, don’t suffer in silence. Reach out to your personal healthcare provider or dermatologist. Effective options exist, and support starts with a conversation.

In the U.S., 7.5 million adults live with psoriasis. That’s 7.5 million unique stories—none defined by a condition.

Psoriasis might shape your routines—what you wear, how you care for your skin, even how you move through the world—but it doesn’t get to write your identity. You do.

Maybe some days feel heavier than others. Maybe you’ve faced stares, assumptions, or silence when you needed support. But your worth has never been up for debate. You are more than a percentage. More than a flare-up. More than a medical chart.

This is your reminder to keep your head up and keep going.
