UV PHYSICAL BROAD-SPECTRUM SPF 41- by EltaMD

EltaMD Physical SPF 41 is a great everyday sunscreen for all skin types, but it is ideal for very sensitive skin and children. Patients with Rosacea or sensitive skin often find many sunscreens irritating and report burning upon application. This may result in non-compliance with the sun protection. If this is an issue for you, consider using a totally chemical free sunscreen (also known as an inorganic sunscreen) such as the EltaMD Physical SPF 41.

News from the American Academy of Dermatology: Dermatologist Warns Gel Manicure Is A Cancer Risk

The Washington Times (3/7, Chasmar) reports Dr. Chris Adigun, a dermatologist at the New York University School of Medicine, in a recent article in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, warned that “a rising fad of replacing traditional nail polish with quick-hardening gel may result in skin cancer, ” due to the UV light needed to cure the gel. Dr. Adigun advised, “Moderation is the key when it comes to gel manicures,” adding that he “advocates wearing hand sunscreen for women who get frequent gel manicures.”

The New York Post (3/7, Stretten, Sutherland, Fagen) reports, “Another concern is that no one knows what is the proper dose of these harmful rays because the UV lamps are not regulated.” Research published in JAMA Dermatology in 2009 said that “two middle-aged women, who did not have a history of skin cancer, developed tumors on their hands following exposure to UV nail light.” In contrast, the “LED lamps are used in drying regular nail polish and don’t pose a health risk because they don’t emit ultraviolet radiation.” An additional issue with the gel is that its durability means it can conceal nail brittleness, thinning, or cracking.

Get Picture-Perfect Skin for Your Wedding

Get Picture-Perfect Skin for Your Wedding - Dr Lupo

With so many details to worry about prior to the wedding, looking your best doesn’t have to add to your list. A pre-wedding visit to the dermatologist can correct problems and make your wedding more stress-free. Prescription products and skin care programs can correct acne and blotchy skin so you can look radiant.   “New procedures like Clear + Brilliant, microdermabrasion and lunch time peels can make your skin glow, while reducing pore size and skin discoloration with no down time,” says Dr. Lupo.

Injectables such as Botox and fillers can safely improve your appearance in a very short time without any time off from your hectic schedule. Botox can reduce expression and frown lines while fillers can plump fine line, wrinkles and lips.

There are also lasers that can safely and permanently remove unwanted facial or bikini line hair and other lasers that can zap away broken capillaries and dark sun spots. Sclerotherapy is still the best option for unsightly leg vein removal and improvement is usually seen in just one month.

So with just a little planning and help, you can look your best for your wedding day and honeymoon. And when you look your best, everything just seems to go smoother.
