Struggling with break-outs? Here are key take-aways you can share:

• Acne happens when hair follicles get clogged with excess oil (sebum), dead skin cells, and bacteria. This triggers inflammation and leads to pimples, blackheads, whiteheads, and sometimes deeper bumps.

• Hormonal changes, genetics, stress, diet, and certain skincare habits can all play a role in whether acne flares and how persistent it is.

• Good prevention and management habits include: using gentle, non-comedogenic skincare products; cleansing the skin regularly but not over-scrubbing; avoiding touching or picking at the skin; and seeing a healthcare provider if acne is severe or doesn’t improve.

• While over-the-counter treatments help for mild acne, more serious cases may require professional intervention. Early attention helps reduce risk of scars or long-lasting marks.

✅ If acne is affecting your confidence, routine, or skin health — consider discussing it with your pharmacist or dermatologist. Small habits + proper guidance can make a big difference.

Acne is a common skin condition that most people have experienced so Dr. Amy Wechsler, who is board-certified in dermatology and psychiatry, joins TODAY to walk through the causes and treatment options, as well as ways to prevent it.

🌙 When to Eat Dinner This Winter

During the colder months, your body’s rhythm shifts a bit—and the best time for dinner might actually move earlier than in summer. Eating dinner a few hours before bedtime can help support better sleep, digestion, and overall wellness.
‍
As the days get shorter, consider adjusting your meal schedule: aim for dinner earlier in the evening and keep a light, digestible snack closer to bedtime if needed.
‍
Stay warm, eat well, and let your body rest better this season!

There are a few reasons to think about adjusting your dinnertime.

🧬 Important Health Tip: Be Careful About Mixing Fish Oil

Fish oil supplements can support heart, brain, and joint health—but they can also interact with other medications and supplements. If you are taking blood thinners, have upcoming surgery, or use high-dose vitamin E or other higher-risk supplements, consider checking with your healthcare provider or pharmacist first.

Stay safe and informed with your health decisions!

Fish oil is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which provide a number of health benefits. Just be careful not to combine fish oil with these other drugs and supplements.

✈️🌍 Traveling Soon? Protect Yourself with the Right Vaccines! 💉🛡️

As global travel increases, so does the risk of exposure to infectious diseases. Diseases like measles, chikungunya, and Chagas are spreading more widely due to factors like climate change, declining vaccination rates, and increased international mobility. In the U.S., we're seeing the largest measles outbreak since 2000, with over 1,400 cases reported. Chagas disease, once limited to Latin America, is now circulating in states like California, Texas, and Arizona. Rising temperatures are also expanding the reach of mosquito-borne illnesses like chikungunya into regions previously unaffected.

💡 Why Vaccination Matters:

• Personal Protection: Vaccines are the most effective way to protect yourself from serious diseases.
• Preventing Spread: Vaccinating helps prevent the importation and spread of infectious diseases across borders.
• Pharmacists' Role: Pharmacists can counsel on recommended vaccines, verify immunization status, and provide guidance on preventive measures.

🩺 Before You Travel:

• Consult with a healthcare provider or pharmacist 4–8 weeks before your trip.
• Ensure you're up-to-date on routine vaccines.
• Discuss any additional vaccines or preventive medications based on your destination.
• Consider factors like your health status, planned activities, and the current health situation at your destination.

🧳 Travel Smart, Stay Safe! 🛡️

Travelers face rising infectious disease risks, including measles, chikungunya, chagas disease, and others.

👁️ Eye Health & Beyond: An Interesting Discovery

Research suggests that zeaxanthin—a nutrient known for supporting eye health—may also offer some protective benefits when it comes to certain types of cancer. While more studies are needed, incorporating foods rich in zeaxanthin like leafy greens, corn, and orange peppers could be a smart move for overall wellness.

Always consult your health-provider before starting any new supplement!

Carotenoids are potent antioxidants responsible for the vibrant hues in plant-based foods. They can also help patients suffering from macular degeneration.
