Adult Acne

Something as simple as looking at her reflection in the mirror was enough to cause Rachel Boland significant emotional pain.

“It’s brought me to tears when I’m sitting in front of my mirror,” says Rachel Boland. 32 year old Rachel has been battling adult acne since she graduated high school.

“It really makes you feel like a teenager and very self-conscious and I’m saying I’m supposed to be a woman in business and now I have a family and I’m going to business appointments and I’m thinking about my face like a child.” (Read more about Adult Acne)

Winterizing Your Skin Stories

Winterizing Your Skin

Once autumn arrives, Michael Panella can be found spending a lot of time outdoors. He loves taking on home projects that allow him to work in his back yard. But, the dropping temperature causes Michael’s rosacea, a flushing and redness of the skin, to flare up. “My cheeks, the bridge of my nose, it’s exacerbated tremendously by the cold,” says Michael.

Skin conditions like rosacea, acne and dry skin generally worsen in the winter months. “The cold weather takes its toll on the skin; the second- forced hot air and the low humidity that causes indoor creates a big problem for the skin; and the third – are winds, winds are very, very traumatic for the skin,” explains Dr. Mitchell Chasin, Director of the Reflection Center for Skin and Body.

Dermatologist, Dr. Mitchell Chasin says winterizing your skin in preparation for the cooler months ahead can make all the difference. “In the summer or in the fall time before their skin has become dry, before it’s become red and flaky; it’s much easier to prevent the skin from getting dry than to treat it once it has,” reports Dr. Chasin.

Men and Skin Protection Stories

Men and Skin Protection

With the waning weeks of summer, this is the time that we’re hitting the pools and beaches strong, trying to catch the last vestiges of the sun.

But men, listen up: you don’t worry enough about your skin, according to the latest research.

It’s almost like you have to whack it into the brains of men--that they are susceptible, just like everyone else, to skin cancer.

Take Todd Bernstein for example. “The first marking actually started with my regular Dr. he saw a mark and said this should be removed, of course I didn’t do anything about it until two years later,” says Todd.

Todd’s back at the doctor’s office today, to get his stitches removed following the excision of five highly suspicious--in fact, near borderline-- malignant moles.

And he still hasn’t learned! “I do put on the sunscreen, my skin, my body, but I’m always in a rush uh especially when I’m outdoors playing golf so I do the basics, but you know it is nice to be in the sun; it feels good,” states Todd, an avid golfer.

Rates of melanomas have increased almost 15-fold over the last 50 years. And that increase has been observed disproportionally in men over 50.

The problem: men don’t get screened. (Read more about Men and Skin Protection)

SUMMER SAFETY Stories

SUMMER SAFETY

Your backyard pool may be your slice of summer heaven, and long hours at the beach may be your favorite way to spend your summer days. But everyone must take summer safety seriously. It could be the difference between life and death.

"Long exposure to sun can increase the rate of skin cancer about fourfold," says Dr. Marc Siegel, NYU Medical Center. More than one million new cases of skin cancer will be diagnosed in the United States this year. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, you should apply sunscreen every day if you plan on being in the sun more than 20 minutes. Sunscreen with a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of 30 or higher is recommended. (Read more about SUMMER SAFETY)

TOXIC SOAP Stories

TOXIC SOAP

Some would call Roseanne Hamm a germ-a-phobe.
“I use liquid anti-bacterial soap in the bathroom and in the kitchen I use dish detergent that is also anti-bacterial. I’ve even used the wipes when I’m traveling, the anti-bacterial wipes and at my desk at work,” says Roseanne.

Like Roseanne, millions of consumers are hooked on anti-bacterial products. But, researchers at Virginia Tech have discovered that the use of anti-bacterial soaps may be directly exposing people to significant quantities of chloroform, which is classified by the environmental protection agency as a probable human carcinogen.
