Shopping for skincare gifts for your tweens and teens? Many are excited to try products they see on social media — but let’s talk about what they really need! 🎁

Many popular skincare products contain active, harsh ingredients that can irritate young skin and lead to breakouts or allergic reactions. Using too many products can also cause active ingredients to clash or result in too much of the same ingredient.

Young skin doesn’t need complex or anti-aging products. Choose gentle, age-appropriate options and check the ingredient list. Avoid vitamin C, exfoliating acids, retinol, and anti-aging ingredients. ❌

A simple routine is best: gentle cleanser, moisturizer, SPF 30+ sunscreen, and lip balm.

If your child has skin concerns, schedule an appointment with one of our dermatologists for personalized, age-appropriate recommendations. 👩🏻‍⚕️

Dr. Cardullo offers telehealth appointments in the afternoon and early evening a few days a week — a very convenient option for all ages. 👩🏻‍💻

Telehealth is great for rashes, acne and other skin conditions as well as follow-ups to check how a medication is working.

It’s extremely convenient: no need to head out to the doctor’s office on a cold day or deal with traffic. You can even do it on a break during the workday, with no need to take time off for a medical appointment.

She offers telehealth on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday via Zoom. Call the office or book online to schedule. 👩🏻‍⚕️

Healthy skincare doesn’t require a 10-step routine or pricey products. Prevention and smart habits go a long way.

✨ Cleanse, moisturize, protect — before buying extra products, make sure you’re doing the basics every day.
✨ Apply moisturizer to damp skin — it optimizes your moisturizer’s effectiveness.
✨ SPF daily, all year — wearing moisturizer and SPF 30+ broad spectrum sunscreen helps prevent wrinkles, age spots, and skin cancer. It’s cheaper to prevent than treat later.
✨ Drugstore products can work — there are effective moisturizers and sunscreens at various price points; ask your dermatologist which ingredients suit your skin type.
✨ Skip DIY skincare hacks — don’t apply toothpaste to pimples or make your own sunscreen; trends without scientific backing can irritate your skin or make things worse.
✨ Hydrate, sleep, and clean surfaces — things like removing makeup, washing pillowcases, cleaning brushes, and disinfecting your phone support healthier skin.

Smart habits > expensive routines. 👩🏻‍⚕️

December Check-In: Don’t Forget Your Skin ❄️

With the holiday rush and colder weather, skin checks can easily fall off the to-do list — but they’re still important year-round. Take a moment this month to look over your skin and notice anything new or changing.

🔎 Pay attention to:
• Moles or spots that look different than before
• Rough, scaly, or non-healing patches
• Areas that itch, bleed, or feel irritated

🪞 Reminder: Skin cancer can appear anywhere — even where sun exposure is minimal. A mirror and good lighting can help you check harder-to-see areas.

If something doesn’t look right, schedule a visit with your dermatologist. Early detection makes treatment easier and more effective. 👩🏻‍⚕️
