There are two factors contributing to the way skin ages: 1) Intrinsic Aging, which is our genetically based predisposition to aging, and 2) Extrinsic Aging, which is the acceleration of aging due to free radical and oxidative skin damage caused by environmental exposures.

Did you know that acne develops when hair follicles in our skin become clogged with sebum (skin’s oil) and dead skin cells, which together form the acne “plug”?  This plug can lead to an overgrowth of bacteria and excessive inflammation within the hair follicle. #skinhappymd

Retinoids are skin forms of vitamin A and come in prescription & non-prescription varieties. They help combat pigmentation, as well as multiple other skin issues at a genetic level. Retinoids are widely considered the most important reparative molecules for the skin. #skinhappymd

Skin pigmentation goes by many names including age spots, sun spots, freckles, and hyperpigmentation. All stem from overproduction of melanin in our skin, and most of us experience it over time. #monterey #carmel #skincare #confidence #skinhappymd #happyskin #acnetips #DidYouKnow

Did you know that the sun prematurely ages skin!  That is, sun exposure causes wrinkles, sallow skin, loss of volume (bone, muscle, fat, sagging skin). Also, UVA goes through windows and in countries like the US, drivers age more on the left side!!

Acne responds best to combination therapy. It is a complicated disease from a biological point of view. It involves a lot of different aspects of skin and your immune reaction to that. So, not just one medication always works to cure your acne! #monterey #skincare #skinhappymd
