Another good reason to avoid added sugar. Try to reach for a bowl of fruit after dinner rather than baked goods or other ultra-processed food. Frozen blueberries or frozen grapes are my favorites. Your skin will age better and less quickly!

Always remember to apply sunscreen to your neck as well or it will age faster than your face. Bonus, apply your retinoid to your neck as well but watch out for irritation. You may only be able to use it a few times a week on the neck.

This is a good visual of how much product to use. Remember to not use AHA cleansers or retinol too often at first so you don’t irritate your skin too much. A little goes a long way. You want to prioritize moisturizing over these cold winter weeks too.

How to beat dry winter skin? First, right after a shower put a moisturizer on immediately, before you are completely dry. The moisturizer doesn’t need to be very thick but if you really need moisture consider an evening quick shower followed by Vaseline or aquaphor and old PJs. You will wake up in the morning with less itchy, hydrated skin! The more birthdays you have had, the more your skin loses moisture more quickly. So that’s why it seems dryer at age 80 than it did at age 40.

Here is a great eye makeup remover that is on sale! I do not recommend the makeup remover wipes as I see a lot of allergic contact dermatitis with those!

I feel like I have recommended this so often lately. It definitely is common to have some more generalized itching from time to time or as one ages. However, if you have persistent itch make sure you tell your doctor in case there is an underlying disorder to blame.

Just had a patient ask if dermaplaning at home would result in dark, coarse hairs growing back in. The answer is NO luckily! As women have more birthdays they tend to accumulate darker hairs around their upper lip and chin. This can result in embarrassment or harsh removal techniques. I have seen many patients pluck on a daily basis and cause so much trauma to the surrounding skin that it looks bumpy and red which could almost be worse than the hairs themselves. By using these facial razors weekly you can avoid ingrown hairs associated with waxing or plucking and remove darker, unwanted hairs as well as peach fuzz hairs. By removing the peach fuzz, this helps your skin care products pe*****te deeper into the skin and helps your makeup lay smoother on the skin.
