You and your bestie walking into winter with your updated skincare routine like… 💅❄️

It’s officially WINTER, which means it’s time to switch up your routine! Tag your bestie and swap notes on your cold-weather favorites 👯‍♀️

Here’s how to protect from the cold:
❄️ Swap it up: Trade those lightweight gels for richer creams and ointments
❄️ Lock it in: Moisturize within 3 minutes of showering to seal in hydration
❄️ Go gentle: Switch to fragrance-free cleansers that won’t strip your skin
❄️ Cover up: Protect hands and hair with gloves and hats
❄️ Hair care: Apply leave-in hydrating treatments and heat protectant to prevent breakage

Welcome to sports dermatology! I’m here to help👇

YOUR KID’S SPORT IS GIVING THEM MORE THAN CHARACTER 🤼‍♂️🦠😂

No one warns you that youth sports = increased risk of infectious skin conditions.

Here’s what every sports parent needs to know:

🤼 Wrestling: Ringworm (tinea gladiatorum), herpes simplex, impetigo, MRSA

🏊 Swimming: Plantar warts, molluscum contagiosum

🏈 Contact sports (rugby, football etc): Impetigo, staph infections, MRSA

WHY IT HAPPENS:
✔️ Skin-to-skin contact
✔️ Shared equipment & mats
✔️ Sweaty, warm environments
✔️ Minor skin abrasions

PREVENTION TIPS:
• Shower IMMEDIATELY after practice (no sitting in sweaty gear)
• Never share towels, razors, or uniforms
• Wash gear frequently in hot water
• Cover any cuts/scrapes before practice
• Check skin regularly for new spots/rashes

SEE A DERM IF:
🚨 Circular, scaly rash (ringworm)
🚨 Clustered blisters or sores (herpes/impetigo)
🚨 Red, warm, painful skin that’s spreading (MRSA)
🚨 Any rash that’s getting worse despite OTC treatment
🚨 Anything appearing before a big match/tournament (many conditions disqualify athletes temporarily)

The good news? Most are treatable and preventable. The bad news? They spread FAST on teams.

Are you kidding me?! 🤦🏼‍♀️

There are a number of things that increase your risk of atypical moles and TANNING BEDS are at the top of the list!

Here’s what you should know and also how to protect yourself and your family 😘

THE RISK FACTORS:
🔸 Painful or blistering sunburns – especially ones where pain lasted more than 2 days. Even one bad burn matters.
🔸 Intermittent sun exposure – Think weekend beach trips, vacations, outdoor sports. It’s not about being “a sun person” – it’s about those intense, sporadic exposures.
🔸 Tanning beds – Even occasional use increases your risk. Studies show ANY tanning bed use raises melanoma risk by 20-27%. If you started before age 35? That risk jumps to 59-75%. More than 10 sessions? Up to 52% increased risk.
🔸 Sun-sensitive skin – If you burn easily, freckle, or have fair skin, you’re at higher risk.
🔸 Genetics – If atypical moles or melanoma run in your family, you may be predisposed regardless of sun habits.

WHAT YOU CAN DO:
✅ Stop tanning bed use immediately – There is no “safe” amount
✅ Daily SPF 30+ – Even on cloudy days, even in winter
✅ Seek shade during peak hours (10am-4pm)
✅ Protective clothing – Hats, sunglasses, UPF clothing for extended outdoor time
✅ Annual skin checks – Especially if you have risk factors
✅ Teach your kids early – Most UV damage happens before age 18

For parents: If your teen is asking about tanning beds for prom or a special event, show them this. The “glow” isn’t worth the lifelong risk.

Atypical moles increase melanoma risk up to 10-fold when you have multiple.

Prevention is everything.
Your skin remembers every burn, every tanning session. Choose to protect it.🛡️

Have you or someone you know used tanning beds?

Drop a 💛 if this was the reminder you needed.

❄️It’s Wintertime! ❄️

Don’t think I have ever shared this but I’m a Texas girl living in Pennsylvania— I straight SURVIVE the winters!

In fact, my favorite winter skincare is a trip to the beach—🤫☀️🌊👙

Toxic. Non-toxic. Clean. Organic. Natural.

There are SO many buzzwords in derm right now, and here’s the thing—most of them don’t actually have clear definitions! 😅

As derm providers, we genuinely want to help, but we can’t help unless we can have a conversation 😂 (unlike my patient in this video who shut it down before we even started lol)

I’m a mom of two young boys, and I’m super intentional about what goes on my own skin AND theirs. So trust me, I get it.

But “toxic” means something different to everyone, and that’s exactly why we need to talk specifics—what are YOUR goals? What are YOUR concerns?

Whether you want fragrance-free, pregnancy-safe, minimal ingredients, or just effective products that work—there’s plenty of skincare out there to help you meet your goals.

Whatever matters to YOU, let’s have that convo!

(Just…please don’t leave before we can talk 🙏😂)

Allergic to the world. 😅

That’s literally what it feels like to have allergies, eczema and even food sensitivity!

Whether you have eczema or not, just know that 10-20% of children globally are affected.

The latest research shows that pollution and air quality directly impact eczema flares. Do you check www.airnow.gov regularly and know what to do when pollution levels are above 100?

On high pollution days:
🛏️Stay indoors during high pollution
🧤Wear long sleeves and pants
💨Use an indoor air purifier
🧴Keep your medications handy!

Drop your comments below! What do you think about pollution and eczema? Do you live in a city or rural location?

Working Moms are the MOST efficient humans I know!💪

But seriously… 😳How do we find time for our kids skincare?!

As parents this is one more “to-do” that falls on our plate—protecting our kids skin from the increases in UV radiation, and the impact of worsening air pollution.

This may feel controversial but many studies report that “children are disproportionately impacted by climate change, in part because of their developing skin…greater body surface area and reliance on adults for their essential needs.”

What can you do? Start with the following:

💦Use gentle hydrating cleansers
☀️Apply sunscreen every day on exposed skin
🧴Moisturize to protect the skin barrier
💨Consider in-home air purifiers

PLUS, every little thing we do to take care of this planet matters, and it matters most to our children 💙
