It seems like everyone is a skincare expert.
We have so much information at our fingertips, so many options, and so many opinions to consider as we think about our skincare. Unfortunately, much of that advice is fueled by someone’s efforts to sell you a specific line or brand.
How should you deal with it all?
Simple…don’t.
When it comes to skincare, trust your dermatologist. They’re the real experts. It’s their job to stay ...

Have you ever had a tan?
If you answered yes, you’ve experienced sun damage.
Initially, darker skin doesn’t seem like a big deal. But over time, sun damage starts to look more like a problem and less like a “great tan.”
You start to notice freckles that don’t fade and more frequent redness. Your skin feels rough, and your skin tone is uneven. This isn’t what you had in mind when you initially set out to get a little color from t...

Acne is no joke. While we might find humor in naming the giant zit on our forehead or a pimple that’s sure to accompany an upcoming deadline, serious acne is no laughing matter.
Achieving clear skin isn’t as simple as just washing your face more thoroughly. With serious acne, you’re dealing with different types of breakouts in different areas that need different treatments.
If you’re facing not-so-clear skin, here’s what you need to kn... 
Seemingly out of nowhere you’ve developed a red, scaly rash. How many possible diagnoses could there be?
Literally hundreds.
The cause of red, scaly rashes are one of the trickiest issues to diagnose. In fact, the red scaly rashes in the photos below look fairly similar, but are dramatically different diagnoses ranging from fungal infections to skin cancer.
In our dermatology textbooks, it’s called papulosquamous disorder — and it... 
Do you have brown spots on your skin?
If you’re like most people, your answer is “yes.”
You either have freckles, moles, birthmarks, or a combination of all three. We don’t think much about them. They’re just a part of the state of our skin. We assume if it was cancer, it would look like it.
But do you know what skin cancer really looks like? Could you tell the difference between a freckle or skin cancer — and are you w... 
One of the unexpected honors I’ve had as a dermatologist is the friendships I’ve built with the aestheticians and med spa professionals who refer patients to us. We love med spas — and even recommend them for certain procedures.

We all have emotions. We make expressions — that’s part of being human. We laugh, cry, frown, smile, raise our eyebrows, and crinkle our noses.
But how do we keep responding to life as any human would, and not end up with smile wrinkles and wrinkles around our eyes?
It may not be possible to avoid wrinkles altogether, but once we understand the types of wrinkles and what affects them, we can set our skin up for success.
