Did you know that according to the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) most people only apply 25-50% of the recommended amount of sunscreen!? Inadequate protection can leave your skin vulnerable, resulting in sunburns, accelerated signs of aging skin and of course skin cancers. ⠀
⠀
When it comes to the amount of sunscreen we should be using - the rule of thumb is approximately two milligrams of sunscreen per square centimeter of skin. Swap out that confusing math for some more common items — for most adults, this equates to about 1 ounce of sunscreen (enough to fill a shot glass) to properly cover the body and a ¼ teaspoon for the face (about the size of an almond). ⠀
⠀
When in doubt, over apply! And be sure to reapply every 2 hours and after swimming/sweating! 🌞⠀

RF Microneedling for the win!

RF Microneedling combines the biostimulating benefits of microneedling with those of radiofrequency (RF) energy to promote the body’s natural production of collagen and elastin, enhancing the skin’s overall texture and firmness. During the microneedling part of the treatment, ultrafine needles create thermal and mechanical controlled injury to the skin at a consistent depth. This produces a series of tiny punctures on the skin’s surface allowing the radio-frequency energy to reach deeper layers of the skin stimulating collagen and elastin production

Check out Dr. Mraz’s patient and her amazing results after just 3 sessions!

Melasma translates from the Greek word for dark, and that’s exactly what it is – dark brown/greyish patches of skin that generally develops on the face (although they can appear anywhere on the body).⠀
⠀
Melasma appears when the underlying hormone called Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone (MSG) goes a little crazy and kicks the production of melanin (which is responsible for the shade of our skin) into overdrive. This is why being out in the sun makes melasma worse, and why women who are pregnant during the summer are more prone to getting it (as if summer pregnancies weren’t just a bowl of cherries already). Fun fact for you mama’s: This same hormone is also responsible for the linea nigra (that dark line running down the beautiful baby bump of many pregnant women). ⠀

Malasma-prone? Dr. Antonov shares some two simple steps you can take to help protect your skin:

🟤Make sure you’re using a high SPF every day. Sunlight causes the skin to make more pigment, which can darken existing melasma and cause new patches.
🟤Wear a hat when spending any length of time in the direct sun.

Melasma can fade on its own, lessening once your hormone levels return to normal, but It can take some time so be patient! After a few months you should start to see the patches fade until they disappear altogether. Dark patches still not going anywhere? Give us a call! We can recommend treatment options and a plan to get your glowing skin back.

While we know first hand that lathering up your little ones can be challenging - it’s a must! Just one blistering sunburn can double your child’s lifetime risk of melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer. Here are some sun-savvy tips on how to best protect the most vulnerable skin types as we spend more time outdoors:

☀️The AAD recommends that all kids older than 6 months wear sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher - this applies to all skin tones.
☀️Make sure you choose a sunscreen that is Broad Spectrum (protecting against both UVA and UVB rays) and we recommend sticking to Physical Sunscreens (vs. Chemical) which are less likely to trigger any irritation and stay at the skin’s surface to do their job.
☀️Reapplication is key! Reapply at least every two hours as well as immediately after swimming or sweating. Even “water resistant” sunscreens need to be reapplied every 40-80 minutes.
☀️ Cover up! Hats, sunglasses and UPF protective clothing add extra layers of protection. Swimsuits with long-sleeved rash guards are a perfect solution for sunny days outside.
☀️ Sunscreen sticks and liquid sprays are a great way to protect your kids with less fuss. Just make sure to choose a liquid spray vs. aerosolized. Aerosolized sprays require approximately seven layers to yield the same protection as a cream/lotion/liquid sunscreen, and are harmful to the environment!

A few of our fave sunscreens for kids are and Pure & Free. Colored Zinc is always a fun way to get kids involved in the application process and add some fun - we love for that!

As Dermatologists, we cannot stress enough how important it is to protect our skin (and eyes) from the harmful side effects of ultraviolet (UV) rays – the main cause of melanoma and other skin cancers such as basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC).

We know that UV rays are the strongest during the warmer months between the hours of 10a-4p, but what exactly does that mean? In honor of Ultraviolet Safety Month - we’re breaking it down 👉 swipe to learn more!

Summer travel plans? Whether you’re jet setting across the country or simply road tripping to the beach, it can be tricky to stick to your skincare routine when you’re on the go. While it takes planning and preparation, the effort is worth it, because traveling is one of the times when your skin needs the most love!

✈️Stay Hydrated from the inside out - especially with air travel when skin is most susceptible to dehydration. Aim to drink half your body weight in ounces of water each day; more if you can!
✈️Wear Sunscreen Every. Single. Day. (no matter where your vacay takes you) - and yes, that includes the actual travel days! Did you know that UVA rays (the ones responsible for accelerating the skin’s aging) pe*****te through your car window? Now think about the airplane window, when you’re even closer to the sun’s rays!
🚙Try to stick to your routine as closely as possible.
Many brands make deluxe, travel-sized versions of their staples. If you strike out, pack the full sizes and check your bag, it’s worth it, we promise!
🚙Prepare for Acne Breakouts - unfortunately travel stress and new environmental factors can cause the skin to breakout, so you’ll want to be prepared!
* Treat yourself to a hydrating sheet mask when you get to your destination 🧖🏻‍♀️

Hello sunburn season! Right now, the UV index is at its strongest and whether you’re heading to the beach or just going for a walk, sunburns can strike at any time. Dr. Mraz is sharing some tips to help improve your comfort and healing time should you fall victim to a nasty sunburn this summer:
⠀
☀️ Cool baths to help reduce the heat and inflammation.⠀
☀️ Moisturizer to help ease the discomfort caused by dryness. As soon as you get out of the bathtub, gently pat yourself dry, then apply a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer. ⠀
☀️Although it may be tempting, do not try to exfoliate (or peel) a sunburn in an attempt to remove the dead skin. Allow the dead skin to slough off your body on its own. Peeling usually stops once the burn has healed, which is about seven days for mild to moderate burns⁠.
☀️ Hydrocortisone cream can help reduce inflammation and ease discomfort.⠀
☀️ Aspirin or ibuprofen for comfort from swelling and discomfort.⠀
☀️ Drink extra water. A sunburn draws water to the skin’s surface and away from the rest of the body. Drinking extra water prevents dehydration - aim for at least half your body weight in ounces of water per day.⠀
☀️If your skin blisters, you likely have a second-degree sunburn. Blisters form to help your skin heal and protect you from infection, do not, we repeat do NOT pick at them. *IMPORTANT* If the blisters cover a large area, such as the back, or you have chills, a headache or a fever, you should give us a call and be seen.⠀
☀️ With any sunburn, you should avoid further UV exposure while your skin heals. Be sure to cover the sunburn when heading outdoors - using both SPF 30+ and UPF clothing.⠀

Abnormal moles and lesions aren’t the only things you should be looking out for when examining your skin - hello Tick season!

Ticks can bite at any time, however they’re most active when the temperatures are warmer and we’re spending more time outdoors. Notice a Tick on you or your little one? Here’s how to safely remove it:

🟤 Using clean, fine-tipped tweezers, grasp the tick as close to the skin’s surface as possible
🟤 Pull upward with steady, even pressure. Don’t twist or jerk the tick; this can cause the mouth-parts to break off and remain in the skin.
🟤 After removing the tick, the best way to prevent infection is to thoroughly clean the bite area (and your hands) with rubbing alcohol or soap and water.
🟤 Never crush a tick with your fingers. Dispose of a live tick by - putting it in alcohol, placing it in a sealed bag/container, wrapping it tightly in tape, or flushing it down the toilet.
🟤 If you develop a rash or fever within several weeks of removing a tick, reach out to your doctor immediately

As we officially welcome the warmer days of Summer, we are introduced to a whole new slew of skincare challenges — Acne being among the most common. Hot, humid weather means more sweating and oil accumulation on the skin which often leads to breakouts (especially for those who already have acne-prone skin). As we begin to close out , we’re sharing some tips on how to help prevent acne flare ups from happening in the first place:

💧Cleanse your face with a foaming cleanser daily. Some of our faves are:
- Acne Cleanser
- LHA Cleansing Gel
- Effaclar LHA Cleanser
- Modern Dermatology Benzoyl Peroxide 5% Wash
- Body Wash for bacne, buttne and overall body acne!
💧Be sure your SPF (and all skincare) is non comedogenic and oil-free
💧Blot (don’t wipe) sweat from your skin with a clean towel or cloth
💧Avoid body acne by wearing natural fibers that allow your skin to breathe (on top of an acne flare up, the last thing you need is prickly heat rash too!)
