How to Do an At-Home Skin Check in Rancho Santa Margarita!🧴

Image
While you wait for your next skin check with us, did you know you can check yourself from the comfort of your own home? Here’s how to perform an at-home skin check: Examine your body in a full-length mirror. Check the front and back of your body, and use a handheld mirror to see your blind spots. Don’t forget to stand to the side and raise your arms to get a complete look at your entire body. Areas to make sure that you check: · Bend your elbows and look closely at your underarms, forearms, and palms. · Check the backs of your legs, in between your toes, and the soles of your feet. · Take a look at your scalp and neck (don’t forget to use your handheld mirror!). · Don’t forget to evaluate your back, buttocks, and private areas.

Let’s “Clear Up” Some Acne Myths in Rancho Santa Margarita.

Image
"Bunk" is a slang term for nonsense, and in honor of June Acne Awareness Month, let's debunk the nonsense of acne myths and aim for blemish-free skin. Myth #1 Tanning Clears Up Acne We're calling "bunk" on this myth. The sun's UV rays do nothing to zap acne. Instead, your skin dries out, inflames, produces more oil, and gets worse. It may feel at first like the sun is drying your acne, but it's not healing it. We know this because we see tanned people all the time who still have acne.

There's been some speculation that an increase in insulin growth factor-1 leads to acne because it activates sebum production and that milk proteins inflame acne. The truth is that no scientific study yet has been strong enough to prove a correlation between dairy and acne. Myth #3 ...
