🌞 Choosing the Right SPF: A Quick Guide from Alpine Dermatology

May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month, and the best defense starts with smart sunscreen choices! Not all SPFs are created equal. Here’s what to look for when shopping in SE Idaho this season:
✅ Broad-Spectrum Protection – Shields against both UVA (aging) and UVB (burning) rays
✅ SPF 30 or Higher – SPF 30 blocks ~97% of UVB rays. Higher isn’t always dramatically better, but consistency matters more!
✅ Water-Resistant – Especially important for Idaho summers, hiking, boating on the Snake River, or backyard fun (look for 40 or 80 minutes)
✅ Mineral vs Chemical – Mineral (zinc oxide/titanium dioxide) sits on top of skin and is often gentler for sensitive skin or kids
✅ Non-comedogenic for face – Won’t clog pores if you’re prone to breakouts
✅ Check the expiration date – Most sunscreens last about 3 years, but toss if it smells off or changes texture

Pro Tip: Apply 1 ounce (a full shot glass) to your body and reapply every 2 hours — or sooner if swimming/sweating.

Your skin deserves the best protection, especially with our intense Idaho sun! Stop by Alpine Dermatology for personalized sunscreen recommendations and a professional skin check.

Acne isn’t just a teenage problem—and it can be frustrating, persistent, and tough to treat on your own.

The good news? You don’t have to guess your way through it.

At Alpine Dermatology in SE Idaho, our providers take the time to understand your skin, your triggers, and your goals. From topical treatments to advanced therapies, we’ll help you find the approach that actually works for you—not just what’s trending online.

Your moisturizer should work with your skin—not against it. Here’s how to choose the right one for your skin type and the changing seasons in SE Idaho:

💧 Know your skin type

Dry skin: Look for richer creams with ingredients like hyaluronic acid or ceramides
Oily skin: Go for lightweight, oil-free, or gel-based formulas
Sensitive skin: Stick to fragrance-free and gentle options
Combination skin: You may need different products for different areas

🌦️ Adjust with the seasons

Winter: Cold, dry air = thicker, more hydrating creams
Summer: Heat and humidity = lighter lotions or gels

🧴 Check the label
Look for “non-comedogenic” to help prevent clogged pores, and SPF during the day for added protection

✨ Consistency matters
The best moisturizer is the one you’ll use every day—morning and night!

Athlete’s foot is super common in kids who play sports — thanks to sweaty shoes, locker rooms, and damp floors. Watch for itching, burning, redness, cracking, or peeling skin between the toes or on the soles.

Quick prevention tips: Change socks often, dry feet really well (especially between toes), and wear flip-flops in public showers.
When to see us: If it doesn’t improve after a week or two of OTC cream, gets worse, spreads, or your child has diabetes — don’t wait. We’ll get them back in the game fast!

✨ Myth Busted: The order of your skincare products does matter!
Applying from thinnest to thickest lets lighter serums and actives absorb properly — before heavier creams or oils create a barrier.
Wrong order = less effective results.

Quick correct order (after cleansing):

Toner / Essence
Actives & Serums (thinnest first)
Eye Cream
Moisturizer
Sunscreen (morning — always last!)

⏳ Pro tip: Wait 30–60 seconds between layers for better absorption.
Consistent, proper layering helps maximize your results — so your skin looks its best when it matters most.
