5 Holiday Habits That Trigger Acne, And What Actually Helps 

December 17, 2025

The holidays are meant to be joyful, but for your skin, they can quietly bring a few challenges, especially when it comes to breakouts. From late nights to indulgent treats and travel stress, small seasonal shifts can add up to clogged pores and inflammation. 

The good news? You don’t have to give up the season to protect your skin. Here are five common holiday habits that can trigger acne, and what actually helps keep breakouts. 

1. Stress Overload 

Between packed schedules, travel plans, and end-of-year deadlines, stress levels tend to spike during the holidays. When stress hormones increase, your skin produces more oil, which can clog pores and lead to breakouts. 

What Helps: 

  • Prioritize short moments of stress relief, deep breathing, walking, or stretching 
  • Stick to a simple, consistent skincare routine 
  • If stress breakouts are recurring, professional treatments or prescription topicals may help regulate oil and inflammation 

2. Sugar-Heavy Indulgences 

Holiday desserts and sugary drinks are everywhere. High sugar intake can increase inflammation and trigger insulin spikes, both of which are linked to acne flare-ups. 

What Helps: 

  • Balance sweets with protein and fiber to reduce blood sugar spikes 
  • Stay hydrated to support skin barrier function 
  • Maintain gentle exfoliation to keep pores clear (avoid over-scrubbing) 

3. Late Nights & Lack of Sleep 

Late nights and disrupted sleep schedules can throw off your body’s natural repair processes. When skin doesn’t have time to recover, inflammation and breakouts are more likely. 

What Helps: 

  • Aim for consistent sleep, even during busy weeks 
  • Cleanse thoroughly at night, no matter how tired you are 
  • Use nighttime products that support skin repair, such as retinoids or barrier-strengthening moisturizers 

4. Travel & Environmental Changes 

Travel exposes your skin to dry airplane air, different climates, and unfamiliar water, all of which can disrupt your skin barrier and trigger breakouts. 

What Helps: 

  • Bring your regular skincare products instead of switching brands 
  • Focus on hydration with lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturizers 
  • Avoid over-cleansing, which can worsen dryness and oil imbalance 

5. Heavy Makeup & Long Wear 

Holiday events often mean more makeup, and longer wear time. When makeup sits on the skin for hours, especially combined with sweat or oil, pores can become congested. 

What Helps: 

  • Choose non-comedogenic makeup formulas 
  • Remove makeup as soon as you’re home 
  • Double-cleanse if needed to fully remove residue without stripping the skin 

When to Seek Professional Help 

If breakouts persist despite good habits, professional guidance can make a significant difference. Medical-grade skincare, prescription treatments, and in-office procedures can help calm inflammation, clear pores, and prevent future flares. 

Holiday acne doesn’t mean you’re doing something wrong; it usually reflects small lifestyle shifts that add up. With mindful habits and the right skincare support, you can enjoy the season while keeping your skin clear, balanced, and healthy.

If breakouts persist despite good habits, professional guidance can make a significant difference. Medical-grade skincare, prescription treatments, and in-office procedures can help calm inflammation, clear pores, and prevent future flares. 

Holiday acne doesn’t mean you’re doing something wrong; it usually reflects small lifestyle shifts that add up. With mindful habits and the right skincare support, you can enjoy the season while keeping your skin clear, balanced, and healthy.

Top Dermatology Treatments of 2025 

December 17, 2025

Throughout 2025, the dermatology industry has seen continued momentum around treatments that deliver natural, regenerative, and personalized results. Interest has grown in technologies and therapies designed to stimulate collagen, support overall skin health, and address long-term aging goals with minimal downtime. 

Below are some of the top dermatology trends of 2025 and why they’ve been shaping conversations across the industry. 

Non-Surgical Skin Tightening Technologies 

Non-invasive skin tightening treatments continued to be a major focus in 2025. Technologies that use energy-based modalities to stimulate collagen deep within the skin have remained popular for addressing mild to moderate laxity of the face, neck, and décolleté. These treatments are designed to gradually improve firmness and contour without surgical intervention. 

RF Microneedling for Skin Quality & Texture 

Radiofrequency (RF) microneedling remained a top choice for improving texture, acne scarring, fine lines, and skin laxity. By combining controlled injury with heat energy, it stimulates collagen at multiple depths. 

Hair Growth Treatments for Men & Women 

Hair restoration became a major focus in 2025, with more patients seeking early intervention. From PRP to advanced topical and oral therapies, dermatology-led solutions gained trust for addressing thinning hair. 

Neuromodulators as Preventative Aesthetic Treatments 

While neuromodulators such as Dysport and Botox have been used in aesthetic medicine for decades, their role continued to evolve in 2025. Rather than being viewed solely as a corrective treatment for existing lines, neuromodulators are increasingly discussed as a preventative option—used earlier and more strategically to help soften muscle movement and delay the formation of deeper dynamic wrinkles. 

The Takeaway 

The biggest trend of 2025 wasn’t one specific treatment; it was a shift toward regenerative, preventative, and personalized care. Patients want solutions that work with their biology, deliver natural results, and support skin and hair health long-term.

High Altitude, High Impact: Ways Flying Affects Your Skin

High Altitude, High Impact: Ways Flying Affects Your Skin 

December 2, 2025

As holiday travel surges, many of us are preparing for flights, family gatherings, and festive fun, but few think about how the skin fares at 30,000 feet. With nearly 31 million passengers expected to travel this holiday season, the risk for “travel-skin stress” is very real.  

Here’s what you need to know before, during and after your flight to keep your glow grounded and your skin barrier intact. 

Why Air Travel Drains Your Skin 

Flying isn’t just tiring for you; your skin feels it too. 

  • Low humidity: Cabin air often drops below 20% humidity, leading to dehydration of the skin’s outer layer and weakening of the moisture barrier. 

  • Increased UV exposure: At altitude, UVA rays penetrate and can affect skin even when the weather seems benign. 

  • Pressure + recycled air: The combination of lower pressure, recycled air, and often cold cabin conditions means skin is more vulnerable to damage, tightness and visible fatigue. 

This means even if you’ve been diligent with your routine on the ground, the airplane environment can undo some of that prep if you’re not careful. 

Pre-Flight Skin Prep: Start with Strength 

To give your skin the best chance of arriving looking refreshed, not drained, here’s your pre-flight strategy: 

  • 24 hours ahead: Avoid introducing new or strong actives (like high-strength retinols or aggressive acids) right before flying; the skin’s barrier is already going to be compromised. 

  • Moisture-lock: Use a rich emollient moisturizer the evening before you fly and incorporate a hydrating serum (think hyaluronic acid or glycerin-based) to boost water retention. 

  • Sunscreen before you fly: Yes, apply a broad-spectrum SPF in the morning (even if your destination is cloudy) because window seats can expose you to more UVA than you’d expect. 

  • Minimize stressors: Get a decent night’s sleep, stay well hydrated from within, and skip alcohol or extra caffeine in the evening before travel, since these dehydrate you further and impact skin resilience. 

Post-Flight Recovery: Landing with Your Skin in Mind 

You made it! But your skin needs a reset: 

  • Gentle cleanse: Choose a non-foaming, barrier-friendly cleanser as soon as you can. Skip harsh scrubs or physical exfoliants in the next 24 hours. 

  • Repair & replenish: Use a barrier-repair cream (rich in ceramides, fatty acids, cholesterol) and a hydrating mask or overnight treatment. 

  • Consider in-office care: If your skin feels very tight, red, or you have a big event after traveling, a quick in-office treatment (like a hydration facial or gentle laser) can help your glow catch up. 

  • Return to your routine slowly: After 24-48 hours at home, you can resume your regular skincare routine.  

Why It Matters for You & Your Routine 

With the massive number of holiday travelers, and the compressed timelines of Thanksgiving week, your skin is competing with the same stressors your body, mind and schedule are facing. By integrating pre-flight and post-flight steps into your skincare plan, you’re proactively protecting one of your most visible assets: your skin. 

Safe travels, and here’s to arriving at the holiday table with your best self!

Perfect Timing: How to Know When You’re Ready for Neuromodulators 

December 2, 2025 by michaelboache Leave a Comment

Perfect Timing: How to Know When You’re Ready for Neuromodulators 

December 2, 2025

A common question is “when should I start Dysport or Botox, am I too young, or did I wait too long?” 

The truth is there’s no magic number. The right time to start neuromodulators depends on your unique skin, muscle movement, genetics, and lifestyle. Let’s separate facts from social media myths and help you understand how timing affects your results. 

What Are Neuromodulators? 

Neuromodulators like Dysport, Botox, Xeomin, and Daxxify are injectable treatments that relax targeted facial muscles to reduce wrinkles caused by repeated expressions, such as frowning, squinting, or raising your eyebrows. 

By softening those muscle contractions, neuromodulators smooth dynamic lines (the ones you see when you move) and can even help prevent them from becoming permanent static wrinkles. 

Why There’s No “Perfect Age” 

Every face and every wrinkle pattern is different. Some people naturally have stronger muscle movement, thinner skin, or more expressive habits, which means fine lines can appear earlier. 

Here’s what dermatologists generally agree on: 

  • Under 25: Focus on prevention through daily sunscreen, consistent skincare, and hydration.  

  • Mid-to-Late 20s: If you notice faint lines that stay after you stop making an expression (for example, forehead lines that linger), small “micro-doses” may help prevent deepening. 

  • Early 30s: A popular time to begin regular treatments, often as preventative or prejuvenation. 

  • 40s + : Treatments shift from prevention to correction, targeting more established wrinkles while maintaining natural expression. 

The “Preventative” Approach 

Preventative neuromodulator treatments aim to train facial muscles to contract less intensely, slowing the formation of permanent lines. It’s not about looking frozen; it’s about preserving smooth, natural movement. 

The benefits: 

  • Softer expression lines over time 

  • Lower doses needed for maintenance 

  • More natural aging process 

When performed by an experienced provider, the goal is to still look like you, just more refreshed and rested. 

Factors That Influence When to Start 

Before starting, consider these five factors: 

  • Muscle Movement — Strong frown or forehead lines may justify starting earlier. 

  • Genetics — If your parents developed deeper lines early, you might, too. 

  • Sun & Lifestyle — UV exposure, stress, and dehydration accelerate wrinkle formation. 

  • Skin Quality — Thinner, drier skin tends to show creases sooner. 

  • Personal Goals — Some patients prefer early prevention; others wait until lines appear. 

There isn’t one “correct age” to start; there’s just your right time. The ideal moment is when fine lines begin to linger at rest or when you’re ready to take a proactive step toward graceful, confident aging. 

When approached with expertise, neuromodulators are not about changing how you look; they’re about helping you look as good as you feel.

Effortless Gifting: How to Pick Skincare That Works for Everyone

Effortless Gifting: How to Pick Skincare That Works for Everyone 

October 28, 2025

The holiday season is a time for giving, and what better way to show someone you care than with the gift of healthy, radiant skin? Skincare makes a thoughtful, personal present, but choosing the right products for someone else can be tricky. Our dermatology experts share a few tips to help you select dermatologist-approved gifts that make your loved ones glow with confidence. 

Start with Skin Type, Even If You’re Guessing 

If you don’t know your recipient’s exact routine, keep it simple and universal. Look for: 

  • Hydrating cleansers and moisturizers that work for all skin types. 

  • Barrier repair products with ceramides, niacinamide, or hyaluronic acid. 

  • Fragrance-free formulas, ideal for sensitive or allergy-prone skin. 

When in doubt, opt for gentle, dermatologist-tested products labeled “for all skin types.” 

Avoid Potent Actives Unless You Know Their Routine 

Retinol, exfoliating acids, and vitamin C can deliver transformative results, but they can also cause irritation if used incorrectly. Unless you’re certain about someone’s skin tolerance, skip these ingredients and choose products that hydrate and soothe instead. 

Gift by Theme 

Curate a skincare story rather than individual products. Try: 

  • Hydration: Cleanser, serum, and moisturizer for winter dryness. 

  • Glow Essentials: Gentle exfoliant paired with a brightening serum. 

  • Post-Treatment Care: Calming mask and SPF for those who love in-office treatments. 

SPF: The Gift Everyone Needs Year-round 

A broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) is universally beneficial. Choose one that’s lightweight, blends well, and includes antioxidants. Tinted mineral options make an elegant everyday staple. 

The Gift of Healthy, Beautiful Skin 

The best skincare gift goes beyond beauty, it’s about confidence, care, and long-lasting results. Whether you’re shopping for a friend, family member, or even yourself, our team can help you find the right products to make this season glow.

Do Ice Baths Really Benefit Your Skin?

Do Ice Baths Really Benefit Your Skin?  

October 28, 2025

From ice plunges to facial icing, cold therapy is everywhere right now. Influencers and athletes alike swear that immersing in ice water can reduce inflammation, boost circulation, and even make skin glow. But do ice baths, for your face or your body, really deliver lasting benefits, or just a refreshing chill? Here’s what the science says. 

The Trend: Cooling Your Way to Better Skin 

Facial ice baths have exploded across reality tv, TikTok and Instagram. Enthusiasts claim they: 

  • Shrink pores and tighten skin 

  • Reduce puffiness and redness 

  • Give a lifted, refreshed glow 

  • Boost mood and recovery after workouts 

Whole-body ice baths are promoted as improving everything from inflammation to metabolism — and yes, some say it even “tightens” body skin. 

What Actually Happens When You Chill Your Skin 

When skin is exposed to cold, blood vessels constrict, temporarily reducing swelling, redness, and puffiness. As skin rewarms, circulation rebounds, giving that healthy post-plunge flush. 

So yes, cold therapy can make your skin look momentarily firmer and calmer, but it’s a temporary physiological response, not a structural skin change. 
Cold plunges and ice baths don’t boost collagen or permanently tighten skin. However, the increased circulation may give a short-term radiance boost. 

Cold exposure offers mild, short-lived effects and can feel invigorating, but it’s not a substitute for professional skin tightening or resurfacing treatments. 

The Risks of Overdoing It 

Whether it’s your face or body, overexposure to extreme cold can backfire: 

  • Cold burns or frostbite, especially if ice touches skin directly 

  • Broken capillaries or increased redness, particularly for those with rosacea 

  • Excessive dryness or irritation, since cold constricts oil glands 

  • Aggravated eczema or dermatitis, from temperature shock 

For the face, use chilled tools (rollers, globes, or masks) rather than raw ice. For body plunges, keep exposure brief (1–3 minutes max) and avoid if you have circulation issues or skin conditions sensitive to temperature changes. 

The Bottom Line 

Facial icing and ice baths can give your skin a quick wake-up, but they’re not miracle cures. If you enjoy them as part of your wellness routine, keep it safe, gentle, and brief. For true tightening, brightening, and rejuvenation, clinical treatments are the real solution.

Make the Most of Your 2025 Health Benefits

Make the Most of Your 2025 Health Benefits

October 20, 2025

As the year winds down, many of us are focused on holidays, travel, and end-of-year to-do lists — but here’s an important reminder: while Health Savings Account (HSA) funds roll over each year, Flexible Spending Account (FSA) funds may expire if not used, so don’t forget to prioritize your skin health before your funds reset.

Taking time now to review and use your benefits ensures you get the care you deserve while maximizing the funds you’ve already contributed. It’s a simple way to protect both your health and your wallet before your plan resets for the new year.

Why Use Your Benefits Now

Your ability to apply FSA or HSA funds toward dermatology services depends entirely on the details of your individual insurance plan. Each provider and policy has its own rules for what qualifies as an eligible medical expense, so it’s important to verify your coverage directly before scheduling.

In many cases, patients are able to use these funds for certain medical dermatology visits or treatments prescribed by a physician, but eligibility can vary widely. Some services may be fully covered, while others may not qualify at all depending on your plan’s terms.

We always recommend checking with your insurance provider or FSA/HSA administrator to confirm which dermatologic treatments are eligible. Our team can also assist by helping you identify which services typically fall under covered medical care.

Don’t Let Your Benefits Go Unused

Appointment times tend to fill quickly toward the end of the year, so it’s best to plan ahead. Even if your coverage differs, taking time now to review your plan helps ensure that your benefits don’t go unused and that you’re set up for a healthy start to 2026.

Take a few minutes to review your FSA or HSA plan, confirm which dermatology services are covered, and schedule your visit before the year ends. Our team is happy to help you navigate your options and ensure you make the most of your remaining benefits. Contact us today to secure your spot before appointments fill up and your 2025 benefits expire.

Now is the perfect time to prioritize your skin and your savings.

Trick or Treat Your Skin Right: Tips for a Healthy, Glowing Halloween

Trick or Treat Your Skin Right: Tips for a Healthy, Glowing Halloween

October 17, 2025

Halloween is the perfect time to experiment with creative makeup looks and festive face paint, but your skin deserves a little extra care before and after the fun. Whether you are dressing up for a party or just enjoying the season, these dermatologist-approved tips will help keep your skin healthy, hydrated, and glowing all October long.

Prep Your Skin Before the Makeup

Before applying any costume makeup or paint, start with a clean and moisturized face. This helps create a smooth base and protects your skin from irritation or clogged pores. If you are using products you have never tried before, do a quick patch test on your arm or jawline to make sure your skin does not react.

Choose Skin-Safe Products

Not all Halloween makeup is created equal. Look for non-comedogenic, hypoallergenic, and fragrance-free options whenever possible. Avoid craft paints or untested products, since they can contain dyes and ingredients that irritate or stain the skin.

Remove Everything Thoroughly

After the festivities, take the time to remove all makeup completely before bed. Use a gentle cleanser or micellar water to dissolve makeup, followed by a mild face wash to ensure your pores stay clear. Sleeping in heavy makeup can lead to breakouts, irritation, and dullness by morning.

Soothe and Restore

Once your skin is clean, apply a nourishing moisturizer or hydrating serum to restore balance. If your skin feels tight or sensitive, use a calming product with ingredients like aloe vera or niacinamide.

Glow Beyond Halloween

Good skincare is not just for special occasions. Keeping up with a consistent routine helps maintain your skin’s health through every season. If you experience irritation, persistent breakouts, or dryness after Halloween, a dermatologist can help restore your glow and guide you toward products that are safe for your skin type.

Treat your skin to the care it deserves this Halloween.

Schedule an appointment with our dermatology team to keep your skin clear, radiant, and ready for every celebration.

Beauty from the Inside Out: How Diet Shapes Skin Health

Beauty from the Inside Out: How Diet Shapes Skin Health

September 23, 2025

The saying “you are what you eat” may sound cliché, but when it comes to skin health, it holds more truth than many realize. What you put on your plate can directly influence how your skin looks, feels, and ages.

The Connection Between Nutrition and Skin

Your skin is the body’s largest organ, and just like your heart or muscles, it thrives when fueled with the right nutrients. Diets rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and healthy fats support collagen production, boost hydration, and help maintain a radiant complexion. Omega-3 fatty acids from fish and flaxseed can reduce inflammation, while colorful fruits and vegetables deliver powerful antioxidants that fight signs of aging.

What Happens with a Poor Diet

On the other hand, diets high in processed foods, refined sugars, and unhealthy fats can take a toll. These choices may trigger acne breakouts, dullness, or worsening redness in conditions like rosacea. Dehydration from inadequate water intake can also leave skin looking tired and dry. Over time, nutritional imbalances can speed up the skin’s natural aging process, making prevention just as important as treatment.

How Dermatologists Can Guide You

Dermatologists understand that achieving healthy skin goes beyond creams and treatments. Many now offer integrative approaches, combining topical care with nutrition recommendations tailored to your needs. Whether it’s identifying food triggers for acne or recommending supplements that boost collagen, a dermatologist can design a personalized plan to help your skin glow from the inside out.

Building Lasting Habits

Pairing balanced nutrition and diet with a consistent skincare routine creates the foundation for long-term skin health. By fueling your body with the right foods and working with a dermatologist to guide your care, you can enjoy a healthier complexion that reflects your overall well-being.
