    Fungal Acne Explained: Why Nothing You're Using Is Working

    Fungal acne is everywhere on social media, but most people are treating it completely wrong. In this episode of The Skin Real, Dr. Mary Alice Mina breaks down what fungal acne actually is: an overgrowth of malassezia yeast, not bacteria, and not true acne at all. She explains why standard acne treatments often fail, who's most at risk (think sweaty workouts, humid climates, tight clothing, and recent antibiotic use), and how to tell it apart from regular acne by looking at itch, uniformity, and the absence of blackheads or whiteheads. Dr. Mina walks through her go-to over-the-counter arsenal, including antifungal shampoos, sulfur washes, salicylic acid, and niacinamide, plus when it's time to see a dermatologist for prescription-strength options. She also shares the daily habits that keep flares from coming back. If you've been fighting stubborn bumps that just won't clear, this episode might finally explain why.   In this episode: 0:00 — Introduction to Fungal Acne 0:43 — Welcome to The Skin Real 1:12 — What Is Fungal Acne, Really? 2:35 — How Fungal Acne Connects to Dandruff and Tinea Versicolor 3:30 — Why Standard Acne Treatments Don't Work 4:00 — Who's Most at Risk for Fungal Acne 5:50 — Antibiotics, Immunocompromise, and Yeast Overgrowth 7:10 — How to Spot Fungal Acne vs. Regular Acne 9:00 — Sponsor Break: Regimen Pro 9:50 — Over-the-Counter Treatment: Antifungal Shampoos 11:40 — Sulfur Washes for Fungal Acne and Acne 13:00 — Salicylic Acid and Why It Works So Well 14:50 — Niacinamide as a Supportive Ingredient 15:20 — When to See a Dermatologist 16:30 — Will Fungal Acne Come Back? 17:30 — Prevention Habits and Maintenance Routine 19:10 — Final Thoughts and Closing   Want a deeper look?

    Your Skin Is Aging Faster Because You're Not Eating Enough Protein

    Your skincare routine might be missing its most important ingredient — and it's not in any bottle. In this episode of The Skin Real, Dr. Mary Alice Mina breaks down the powerful (and often overlooked) connection between protein and skin health. She explains the four root causes of skin aging — collagen depletion, chronic inflammation, oxidative stress, and cellular waste buildup — and why what's on your plate directly impacts how your skin looks and ages. Dr. Mina gets personal about her own journey from vegetarian to protein-conscious eater, why her body started craving chicken in her early 40s, and what that shift taught her about midlife nutrition. She covers the dangers of sugar and glycation, why supplements aren't the shortcut you think they are, and how estrogen loss during menopause accelerates collagen loss faster than almost anything else. You'll walk away with clear, actionable steps: how much protein to aim for, when to eat it, how to spot hidden sugar, and why the most powerful skincare routine actually starts at the breakfast table. In this episode:  0:00 — The One Thing Your Skin Actually Needs 1:10 — Why a Dermatologist Is Talking About Food 2:05 — The 4 Root Causes of Skin Aging 4:20 — Collagen Is Protein: What That Really Means 5:45 — Collagen Banking: Start Before You Lose It 7:00 — Sugar, Glycation, and Your Collagen 9:15 — The Truth About Supplements and Antioxidants 11:00 — Eat the Rainbow: What Your Plate Should Look Like 12:30 — Dr. Mina's Personal Protein Journey 14:10 — How Much Protein You Actually Need 15:20 — Why Morning Protein Changes Everything 16:30 — Estrogen, Menopause, and Collagen Loss 17:30 — Dr. Mina's Action Plan for Your Skin 18:10 — Final Thoughts and Where to Start   Want a deeper look?

    Does Topical Estrogen Make Melasma Worse? Here's the Truth

    Topical estrogen is everywhere right now — but if you have melasma, rosacea, or acne, should you be worried? In this episode, Dr. Mary Alice Mina cuts through the fear-based noise and breaks down what the science actually says about topical estrogen and skin conditions like melasma and rosacea.

    Sculptra vs Radiesse: Which One Is Actually Right for Your Face?

    In this episode of The Skin Real, Dr. Mary Alice Mina breaks down two of the most talked-about biostimulators in aesthetic medicine — Sculptra and Radiesse — and explains why they are not interchangeable, despite both building collagen. She covers how each product works at a cellular level, what to realistically expect after treatment (including the swelling that disappears in the first week), how long results last, which areas each product is best suited for, and the real risks like nodule formation. Dr. Mina also discusses hyperdilute Radiesse, the "rule of fives" massage protocol for Sculptra, injection technique, and how to combine biostimulators with other treatments for maximum results. The episode ends with her honest take on which product she uses more in her own practice — and why the injector matters more than the product itself.

    Topical Estrogen on Your Face: What a Dermatologist Actually Thinks

    In this episode, Dr. Mary Alice Mina breaks down one of her most frequently asked questions: should you be putting topical estrogen on your face? She explains what estrogen loss actually does to the skin during perimenopause and menopause — from collagen collapse to barrier breakdown — and why these changes are hormonal, not just "normal aging." Dr. Mina walks through the two main forms of topical estrogen (estriol and estradiol), what makes them different, and which one is more commonly used for facial skin. She also covers who should be cautious, including those with melasma or a history of estrogen-sensitive cancers, and makes the case for why vaginal estrogen deserves to be the first conversation before any discussion of facial application. Practical, evidence-informed, and refreshingly honest, this episode helps midlife women cut through the fear and make smarter decisions about topical estrogen.
