I love great gifting, so it was fun to contribute to New York Magazine The Strategist’s 2024 skincare gift guide. The gift of a beautiful skincare product can be an unexpected treat… and no one’s ever regretted taking care of their skin!

One of my favorites for this season is La Mer’s new The Rejuvenating Night Cream which features their clinically-researched marine retinol alternative, MRA-3. I find this soothing and smoothing cream to be well tolerated, including by those who are sensitive to retinoids, and who wouldn’t love the gift of beauty sleep. 💤

Another new favorite, especially with colder weather being part of the holiday season for many, is the Augustinus Bader Rich Eye Cream. It’s a lush formula that includes their proprietary TFC8 complex of vitamins, minerals, and amino acids, and makes the eye area look really refreshed. Like champagne, it’s even better when chilled (for maximum depuffing). 🥂

What to get the beauty fanatic who has (almost) everything.

Highsnobiety recently interviewed me about the interplay between politics and aesthetics as I see it in our DC practice. With elections approaching and politicians increasingly in the public eye, it’s a timely topic to discuss the relationship between appearance and the perceptions of competence, power, trustworthiness, and likability.

I frequently counsel patients on the concept of «plausibly deniable results». The prevailing goal for my patients is not to appear transformed through treatments but rather to look fresh and to slow the arc of aging through discreet enhancements. My patients also often reference concerns about unintentional messaging, such as not wanting to look tired or grouchy when appearing on camera. To achieve subtle optimizations I like to create a comprehensive treatment plan that focuses on skin quality, incorporating gentle fractionated lasers, “baby Botox,” and subtle injections of skin boosters and fillers. Achieving natural-looking results that preserve the character of a face is actually more difficult than producing a more obvious change, whether non-surgically or surgically ( 👀 Dr. Ariel N. Rad), and requires a high level of attention to detail and expertise… and a light hand, as Carl Ray Makeup Artist says!

The way politicians look — and how they measure up to “professional” beauty standards — plays a bigger role in elections than we’d probably like to admit.

Patients ask me frequently about gel manicure safety, so when New York Magazine wanted me to share expert advice with her I was delighted to do so. As someone who loves a good , understanding whether LED or UV lamps are being used and how best to protect your skin from UVA exposure are key to good results over time.

Although a single gel manicure doesn’t confer much UV exposure, the cumulative effects are important to consider as UV exposure contributes to skin cancer risk and skin aging. As a board certified dermatologist, I highly recommend finding a salon that uses LED lamps and does a dry manicure:

💡 LED bulbs emit a higher percentage of visible light than a conventional UV lamp, decreasing (but not eliminating) UV exposure. A helpful tip to know whether your salon uses LED is that these lamps work quickly such that each coat of polish should cure within 60 seconds, as compared to UV lamps that take longer.

💅 A dry manicure means that soaking won’t remove sunscreen you’ve applied prior to your nail appointment. Be sure to choose a sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 and a PA++++ rating (this specifies UVA protection, which is what’s emitted to cure the polish). Fingerless UV-blocking gloves with a UPF of at least 30 are another effective approach - my colleague Dr. Samantha Ellis, MD’s brand Prequel Skin just launched a UPF 50 pair… just hand wash and air dry your UPF clothing to keep the fabric in good shape to maintain its UV protection.

You’re right to wonder about protecting your wrists, hands, and fingers from nail-curing lamps.

In the June issue of Washingtonian I talked with Cathy Alter as she tried out several unconventional facial treatments in the DC area.

The big picture is one that I often share with my patients: no noninvasive treatment can claim surgical results. That’s not to say that facials aren’t beneficial, there’s just no such thing as a non-surgical facelift!

Some facials promise to contour and lift skin with a combination of zapping and actual slapping. Our writer put one to the test.

New York Magazine shared some of my favorites in their Very Best Body Oils article. Body oils can be a great choice in the summer, as opposed to heavier body creams, as they tend to be more lightweight and leave a glossy glowing finish to the skin.

For my patients with more sensitive dry (non-acne-prone) skin I often recommend coconut oil since it’s a wonderful natural source of essential fatty acids and soothing vitamin E to achieve deep moisture without irritation. Conscious Coconut has a tube formulation that’s lovely and avoids possible contamination from dipping into a jar. 🥥

For those looking for more active ingredients in their body oil, I love the Tata Harper Skincare Revitalizing Body Oil which combines plant-based antioxidants and nutrient-rich jojoba, argan, and primrose oils to maintain the elasticity and smoothness of the skin. It also gives a spa-like sensorial experience that makes it a joy to use. 🌿

May is and ASDS Skin MD and I developed an educational resource on skin cancer myths.

One myth to highlight as we head into Memorial Day weekend: “as long as you’re wearing your sunscreen every day, it doesn’t matter what you’re doing or how much you put on.” ☀️ SPF is rated based on applying 2mg/cm2, which translates to a nickel size (or two fingerlengths) for the face alone, and 1 ounce to cover the body. This means that a 6oz sunscreen bottle should be empty after 6 applications if you’re applying it to your entire body at the beach or pool… and the highest FDA water resistance rating is only 80 minutes, so remember to reapply!

With warmer weather on the way, it’s timely that I talked with New York Magazine about the very best body scrubs that polish skin to its glowy best.

It makes sense that I would love OUAI Scalp & Body Scrub in “St. Barts” with its dragonfruit and orange blossom scent since Dr. Ariel N. Rad and I were married on the island. 🌴 I also like that this sugar and coconut oil blend lathers as you work it into the skin for a more clean-rinsing option than other scrubs.

My shower is always stocked with C & The Moon Malibu Made Body Scrub, which blends food-grade vanilla and brown sugar (a natural source of AHAs) with sweet almond, coconut, and jojoba seed oils. 🥥 It’s super smoothing and moisturizing, and is a beauty insider favorite for good reason.

Including the formulas favored by actress Ayo Edebiri and fitness guru Tracy Anderson.

With the 2024 election approaching, Washington Post Washington Post Style asked to speak with me and Dr. Ariel N. Rad about power and aging in the public eye.

“Plausible deniability” is key to our practice of and , as our patients seek out subtle improvements that don’t register as having had ‘work done.’ I focus on having a long term plan for my patients and prioritize optimizing skin quality with lasers and skin boosters since great skin looks great at any age, and am judicious with injectables. We also plan targeted surgical tweaks if needed rather than ever overdoing volumizing fillers or energy-based tightening as utilizing these excessively, when only surgery will produce the desired result, can lead to a more unnatural outcome.

There’s a certain charisma that comes with being unapologetically old. But politicians often run the other way.

I spoke with Women's Health about after Kim Kardashian opened up about her own struggles. Psoriasis is an immune-mediated condition causing patches of scaly inflamed skin, often affecting the knees, scalp, and elbows. Psoriasis flares can be triggered by stress, skin injury (including sunburns, so be careful with UV exposure and tanning!), smoking, alcohol, and even certain medications. In addition to topical and systemic prescription treatments, eating a balanced Mediterranean diet that minimizes processed meats and refined carbohydrates can help to alleviate symptoms.

The star has shared info on her struggles with the condition before.
