Ever wanted to get a tan? That’s probably all of us at some point. We’re all probably aware of the health risks of staying too long in the sun too. So, many people resort to tanning beds (AKA “the safer option”). Newsflash: they’re not. Tanning beds are – and will never be – safe OR safer than the sun. Which is why today, in dedication to Skin Cancer Awareness Month, I’ll share with you in detail how tanning beds affect our skin and overall health.

Caught early, skin cancer is highly treatable. This is why – as a dermatologist – I want you to understand how to monitor changes that might occur on your skin. Of course, prevention (AKA proper sunscreen and sun-protective clothing application) is better than cure. Despite our best efforts, however, prevention isn’t 100% guaranteed. So, as part of my series for Skin Cancer Awareness month, let’s dive into the visual clues we need to look out for (with the 3 most common types of skin cancer) and how to prevent precancerous growth from fully developing into skin cancer.

If you’re wearing sunscreen every day (which I’m sure you do, Superwoman!), then you’re already following the number-one rule for sun protection. The 2 rule – proper re-application – is just as important, however. See, friction, heat, sweat, and other environmental factors remove sunscreen off of our skin. In fact, it gets removed every 2 hours more or less. And so does your sun protection. With that, as an introduction for Skin Cancer Awareness Month, I’ll teach you how to reapply your sunscreen with success every day. Sun protection may never be perfect 24/7 but every minute matters.

Did-you-know that most people only apply half of the sunscreen amount they need? Yikes! On top of not reapplying sunscreen, many don’t even apply the right amount. This gives us a picture of how much (or how little) sun protection many people actually get. People forget that as long as you’re exposed to UV rays, your skin can get sun damaged. Which is why today, I’ll dive into how you can increase sunscreen efficacy and better protect your skin from sun damage.

Treatment for rosacea may seem accessible (with the plethora of products targeted at it in the market) BUT beware: some may exacerbate symptoms instead of helping you. The key is finding just the right ones. With just the right ingredients. So today, I’ll share with you how you can help yourself with easily-accessible OTC products for rosacea.

Does your face often look flushed? Red? Not acne-inflamed red BUT you can see swollen pus-filled bumps, you feel a burning sensation, your blood vessels are visible – if these symptoms manifest on your face, then you could have Rosacea. For April (Rosacea Awareness Month), I’m dedicating this episode to help you understand how this common skin condition works, how to work with it daily, and work your way to having healthier skin even with Rosacea.

Have you heard about what happened at the Oscars? Yeah, I know it’s tiring for you now BUT we’re not focusing on the gossip – as your go-to dermatologist, I feel the need to bring awareness on the topic of hair loss, i.e. Alopecia and its subtypes. Heads up, there are many types but none of them are something people should joke about. So today, let’s dive into what some of the most common non-scarring Alopecias look like, what to expect about it, and what to look out for if you have the disorder.

I know you read the ingredients list of each skincare product before you try them – if you’ve been listening to this show, I’m sure you do. For those with sensitive skin, however, ingredients are just one of the things you should look for before using a product. Just a few extra steps to avoiding flare-ups.

Admit it, when you were in your early 20’s, you barely thought about the importance of skincare. I’m guilty of this too. If you’re not – kudos to you! Skincare for many in their early 20’s is probably the 34524 task in their to-do list AFTER school, work, and whatnot! Perks of youth, right? BUT once you hit 25 (and your collagen levels start going down) skincare shoots up to your Top 10 priorities. So today, I’m sharing with you why and how to start skincare ASAP to keep – and regain – as much of that healthy youthful glow as you can.

Great power comes with great responsibility. If you feel powerful with make-up and wear it daily, you have a responsibility to your skin to remove your make-up at night. This may sound too dramatic but trust me, the consequences of not removing make-up are much more intense. So today, I’ll share with you the best make-up removers for your skin AND techniques on keeping your skin healthy while enjoying the benefits of make-up.

What makes an incredible cleanser? I hope “something that gives me a squeaky clean feel” didn’t come to mind! A good cleanser gets rid of dirt, grime, oil, and make-up while disrupting your skin barrier as little as possible. No dry feeling. No stinging. No tight-skin feel!

NEWS FLASH: Cleansers are the most underrated component of The Skin Success Framework. I get it – they don’t sound fancy like retinoids or vitamin C serums. On top of that, many lack real understanding around the mechanics of cleansing. Which is why today, I’m diving into the exact science behind how cleansers do their work. At the end of the episode, you’ll learn how a simple switch in cleansers can be a game-changer for your skincare routine.

On a scale of 1-10, how important is cleansing for you? My beauty, you know I’m a generally flexible person (I recommend both medical-grade and budget-friendly drugstore products, after all!) BUT if your answer is less than 10 then we have a lot to talk about. Remember, I narrowed down your skincare needs to 5 main components and a cleanser is one of them – meaning: it’s a non-negotiable. Many people think cleansing is something they cannot possibly do wrong (wrong!). So today, let’s dive into what exactly good cleansing looks like.
