    Are Your Neck, Chest & Hands Aging You?

    You've spent years caring for your face. Your neck, chest, and hands have been keeping score the whole time. As Dr. Vicki Rapaport puts it, after fillers and surgery, a face can be hard to date, but the neck, the chest, and the hands are a dead giveaway. In the first episode of our new season for women of a certain age, board-certified dermatologist Dr. Vicki Rapaport, esthetician Trina Reneá, and consumer advocate Julie Falls get into why these areas age so differently from your face. The skin is thinner, it has up to 50% fewer oil glands, and it has seen a lifetime of sun most of us never covered. Then we talk about what actually helps, and what doesn't. In this episode: Why your Retin-A belongs on your face and not your neck, and how body retinols are made weaker for a reason Neck options from tightening lasers and Morpheus to Botox for neck cords and the Nefertiti lift, and when a neck lift is the honest answer Poikiloderma, the red-brown mottling on the sides of the neck, and why your own head shades the front Dr. Vicki's idea of a perfect day at work: IPL on chests, all day long Chest wrinkles from side sleeping, Chesties, Sculptra, and how Trina trained herself to sleep on her back Hands: filler, fat transfer, IPL, and the driving gloves Dr. Vicki calls non-negotiable Trina's ceramic car-window tint, and what it does and doesn't block Why fall is the time to book these treatments Hosted by Dr. Vicki Rapaport, Trina Reneá, and Julie Falls. We don't take money to say anything on this show. More at https://www.faciallyconscious.com/ and everything in one place at https://linktr.ee/faciallyconscious

    Is Prescription Acne Treatment Now OTC?

    A prescription acne medication just went over the counter, and it's the biggest acne news in dermatology in years. In this episode, board-certified dermatologist Dr. Vicki Rapaport, esthetician Trina Renea, and consumer advocate Julie Falls break down what's actually new in acne and rosacea treatment, and what's just marketing. We cover the adapalene and benzoyl peroxide combination now available without a prescription. We get into why dermatologists are using Accutane as much as ever, and how a microdose, sometimes one pill a week, can transform stubborn rosacea. We also talk about the acne lasers (AviClear and Accure) and what they really cost. Then we explain rosacea mites, the newer low-dose oral antibiotics, why Dr. Vicki has soured on redness-erasing creams, and the blue-light connection to rosacea that almost nobody talks about. Plus: Trina explains why she washes her face once a week (yes, really), and in Consumer Corner we take apart K1-Jet, the "snatched jawline" air-pressure pen taking over Instagram. No sponsors telling us what to say. Just the truth about your skin. Topics: acne treatment, rosacea treatment, Accutane, isotretinoin, Differin, Epiduo, adapalene, benzoyl peroxide, AviClear, Accure, acne laser, rosacea mites, Demodex, ivermectin, low-dose minocycline, Mirvaso, Rhofade, mineral sunscreen, blue light skin, skin microbiome, K1-Jet, dermatologist podcast, esthetician.

    Are You Overdoing Your Skincare?

    If your skin is suddenly dry, red, flaky or stinging, your routine may be working against you. This week, we break down what your skin barrier actually does, how over-exfoliating and piling on products can damage it, and what barrier repair really means. Then we get into why exfoliation still matters, especially as cell turnover slows with age, and how to do it without pushing your skin too far.

    A New Sunscreen Ingredient Is Coming. Is It Actually Better?

    The ladies are together again! For our first episode back, we’re jumping right into sunscreen, starting with BEMT (bemotrizinol), the first new sunscreen ingredient approved in the U.S. in decades. We break down what makes it different, what we know about chemical sunscreen safety, how often you really need to reapply, and whether the SPF in your makeup is enough. Then, in our Consumer Corner segment, we answer one of your skincare questions. First up: are Korean sunscreens actually better, or do they just feel better on your skin?

    Ozempic Face Explained: How to Prevent Skin Laxity, Collagen Loss & Facial Volume Changes During GLP-1 Weight Loss

    What is “Ozempic Face” — and can you actually prevent it? As GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and semaglutide become more common for weight loss and metabolic health, many people are noticing unexpected changes in their skin — including facial volume loss, skin laxity, and increased dryness. In this episode, we break down what “Ozempic Face” really means, why it happens during rapid weight loss, and how to support your skin through the process. This conversation explores the relationship between fat loss, collagen production, skin elasticity, and overall skin health. You’ll learn how weight loss affects facial structure, why protein intake matters for skin integrity, and how ingredients like retinoids, peptides, and hydrating serums can support the skin barrier during body composition changes. We cover: What causes facial volume loss during GLP-1 weight loss How rapid weight loss affects collagen and skin elasticity Preventative skincare strategies during Ozempic or semaglutide use The role of protein in skin health Retinoids and peptides for skin firmness Hydration and barrier repair during metabolic changes Why gradual weight loss supports both body and skin If you’re using GLP-1 medications, considering them, or navigating noticeable facial changes during weight loss, this episode offers science-based skincare guidance without fear, shame, or exaggerated claims. Because healthy skin isn’t separate from overall health — it’s part of it. Have a question?
