What I love about the new Dior Capture Le Sérum and Day Crème for glowing skin as a dermatologist. The new Ox-C Treatment activates and boosts oxygen delivery to visibly rejuvenate skin and stimulate collagen production. By promoting oxygen transport and skin respiration, it’s been proven to revitalize the skin and multiply by 3 times the presence of a key marker of skin firmness. Through extensive clinical testing conducted by a dermatologist, this duo has demonstrated the ability to reveal visible age reversal, making skin look 4 times firmer and 2 times smoother in 7 days.

Did you know that the way you see yourself in the mirror is different from the self in photos? This episode touches on  fascinating research on the different pathways involved in what scientists call the mirrored versus the non-mirrored self. Ever wondered what’s actually going on in your mind when you look at yourself in the mirror? According to science, our faces in the mirror versus our faces seen on photographs of ourselves are supposed to be nearly identical. Yet, the truth is we know we somehow look different.

Skin Anatomy & Physiology at the Heart of Barrier Function & Hydration You may already be aware of the importance of skin barrier function—how it can affect the condition of the skin, but how exactly?  Skin hydration and the stratum corneum barrier have been active areas of dermatologic research for a good decade.

The rich and beautiful have it all, don’t they? Celebrity suicides draw attention to pervasive mental health issues that are equally indiscriminate—plaguing the young and attractive—those regarded by society as the most successful. Is it possible that the practice of cosmetic dermatology breeds the vicious cycle of insecurity in body dysmorphophobia rather than addressing it? In this podcast I share some of my reflections that led to my decision to leave the practice of cosmetic dermatology back in 2019. Normative perfection does not exist. Does it? The relationship between the material ..read more

I am obsessed with sleeping 8-9 hours a day. This is it—the best skincare tip I have for you is to SLEEP. It’s essential to being alive, by the way. And I don’t meant to sleep at 2 am and wake up at 2 pm. To be beautiful (and healthy) you need to follow the circadian rhythm. Like the cicada…you know? Bugs? 1. Beauty Sleep Is beauty sleep real? I guarantee it. During the sleep cycle, skin cells work to repair damaged DNA. We all know about the sunscreen doctrine—how it prevents UV rays from damaging skin cells by preventing oxidative stress. But did you know that skin does repair its own dam ..read more
