Cardio is great- but strength training may be doing something extra for your skin!

A 16-week study compared aerobic exercise to resistance training in middle-aged women. Both improved skin elasticity and upper dermal structure, but here’s the surprise: ONLY resistance training increased dermal thickness!

As we age, our dermal layer (which is the deeper layer where collagen and elastin reside) naturally gets thinner and that shows up as wrinkles and crepey texture, esp around the eyes, the lips and the neck.

Cycling a strength training session with some weights into your weekly routine can actually make that dermal layer thicker! Drop your Qs below ⬇️

The internet: Spironolactone changed my life
Also the internet: Spironolactone made my left eyebrow grow backwards 😂

People are sharing and joking about some of the side effects they experienced while on Spironolactone. I've been prescribing it for YEARS for adult female acne – let's break it down and learn about some of the more common side effects, and some of the less common ones and how you can help prevent.

How can you minimize side effects?
– Start low and increase the dose slowly over time with your derm
– Take the pill with food
– Some of my patients find that splitting the dose - ½ in the morning, ½ at night can be super helpful.

Milia are tiny, firm white bumps caused by keratin trapped beneath the surface of the skin- not clogged pores, and not acne.

No, you should not try to pop them at home. Milia don’t have an ‘opening’ so squeezing can cause inflammation, infection, or scarring.

Safe removal requires a sterile technique in a professional setting, but there are some things you can do at home to prevent or gradually improve.

Your teen daughter tells you she wants to try indoor tanning…and you’re a dermatologist 😳

Thankfully this was a prank- but the risks of indoor tanning are very real.

According to , using tanning beds before age 35 increases your risk of melanoma by 75%. Just one session can damage DNA in your skin cells, accelerate premature aging, and increase your lifetime risk of skin cancers, including melanoma, the deadliest form.

As both a mom and a board-certified dermatologist, this is a hard no in our house. There is no such thing as a “safe tan.” A tan is your skin’s response to injury.

If you want that glow, stick with sunless options. Your future skin will thank you 🤍

Yes, yes, YES!

I hear this from my patients every day. They wake up and feel like they have aged overnight and find themselves pulling up at their skin, noticing the accelerated collagen loss that happens as we enter perimenopause.

No topical serum will replace an in-office procedure, but there are many things you can do to visibly lift and plump the skin from home as well as decrease some of the sagging and fine lines you are seeing.

I tell all my patients over 40- incorporate a peptide serum as the first step after your cleanser and find a vit c and a retinoid that you can tolerate. Be consistent. Your skin will thank you!

Any questions? Want to know more about in-office procedures with minimal downtime too? ⬇️

Today is International Childhood Cancer day. It’s not something that people like to bring up or talk about, but there are important steps you and your teen can take to prevent cancers like Melanoma. I'm proud to use my platform to spread awareness, especially during a time where there has been a resurgence in tanning among teens who are sharing misinformation on social about perceived 'benefits'.

Take it from me and my daughter Maclane – there are no benefits. Protect yourself, talk to the important people and your life and spread awareness on a devastating disease that we now know better how to prevent. Seek shade, cover up and apply (and reapply) your SPF!

I'm in Florida celebrating my bday this week and thought it would be a great time to share with you my friend beautiful clothing line !

These amazing pieces of sun protective clothing and accessories are designed to fit into your everyday life, not just pool days. We know how important it is to protect our skin and being able to do so while still looking chic is a huge bonus 😊 This is not sponsored btw - I just adore the line and purpose behind the brand!

We’re going backwards 🤦🏼‍♀️ What do you guys think about the rise in ‘trendy’ tanning content? As a derm (and a mom) I find it to be totally devastating.

We know better now and need to do our part in educating our teens and tweens who are seeing their social media flooded with misinformation about tanning.

There is no such thing as a safe tan - it is DNA damage, period. Stay safe ❤️ stitch w/ hannahpaigeeee on TT

It's me! I'm the rat! 🐀

In all seriousness, the absolute boom in "trendy" tanning content breaks my heart. We know better now. We have to do a better job at spreading awareness for our younger generation and making sure they understand the risks associated with indoor tanning.

What questions do you have about indoor tanning? I'd love to debunk some myths or answer any Qs ⬇️ Stitch w/ maddie.wags on TT
