    Choosing the Best Pimple Cream—Dermatologist Pro Tips for Pimple Management

    How do you stop a pimple from getting worse? Any quick fixes?Pimples are quite nightmarish for those who suffer from it. Women with adult acne dread the menstrual flare-ups of acne. Here are a few key pimple remedies to bear in mind- and also some to avoid: Do: use a non-irritating plant based pimple cream both for treatment and prevention such as the Blemish Spot Cream. If the pimple is draining pus, use a warm compress to gently express the pus without squeezing. The best time is right after a warm shower. If your pimple wont go away after 2 weeks or more, you may have a cyst. Acne cysts are best treated with steroid injections by your dermatologist. Don’t: use retinoids on active pimples. This is not well known, and many purportedly are told by non-dermatologist doctors ie. beauty doctors, aesthetic doctors and beauticians that they should use retinoids on all acne. Retinoids can cause severe and worsening inflammation on active acne. Generally, dermatologists advise to use retinoids over acne-prone areas, and to avoid directly over inflamed pimples. Rather, if necessary, your dermatologist may prescribe topical steroid lotions to quickly quell inflammation. These are meant only for short term use as they can cause steroid acne.

    7 Retinol Face Serum Alternatives For Sensitive Skin

    Retinol face serum is traditionally regarded as the holy grail of OTC cosmeceuticals. As a derivative of vitamin A, retinol works by stimulating collagen production and targeting skin receptors known as nuclei acid receptors. It’s also associated with the coveted retinoid glow which refers to a lifted, plumped and tightened skin appearance. However, one major downside is that certain skin types do not tolerate it well, i.e. sensitive skin, skin of color. Those living in sunny climates also experience much higher rates of photosensitivity. In this episode, we discuss 7 categories of retinol face serum alternatives that are suited for sensitive skin types. (0:00) Introduction to Retinol (01:11) Naturally Occurring Sources of Retinol (02:31) Retinyl Palmitate as a Retinol Alternative (04:40) Acetyl Hexapeptide as a Retinol Alternative (05:18) Oligopeptides as a Retinol Alternative (06:38) Bakuchiol as a Retinol Alternative (07:37) Adenosine as a Retinol Alternative (08:19) Sea Buckthorn Oil as a Retinol Alternative If you enjoyed this episode, please leave us a 5-star review on Spotify and Apple podcasts so the podcast can be enjoyed by more people!

    Moisturiser 101

    The role of moisture in skin aging A little bit about the role of moisture and the skin barrier in the aging process. Our skin primarily composes of the epidermis. The epidermis hosts the stratum corneum and the second layer of skin, the dermis. These two components eventually makeup what we call the skin barrier and also is responsible for the appearance of skin. Depending on your age, the structure and the function of the barrier may differ. In today's episode, we’re going to cover the following topics: Skin barrier dysfunction How humidity affects the skin The importance of a hydrating skincare routine If you enjoyed this episode, please leave us a 5-star review on Spotify and Apple podcasts so the podcast can be enjoyed by more people!
