Don't Stress

We think of our skin as a shield to protect our insides from what is going on outside us. Yet one of our skins worst enemies is what is going on inside - stress.

In this age of hussle and bussle, high demand jobs and worries over the economy, its no wonder that stress is a major problem for most people.

In this article, Stress and Your Skin, dermatologist Dr. Amy Wechsler discusses the science behind stress, how to handle it and some solutions to help if your skin is suffering from stress.

Cosmeceuticals

Each year Americans spend billions of dollars on skin care products hoping they'll turn back the clock.
But do they deliver? What do all those antioxidants, retinols and vitamin c really do for your skin?

The American Academy of Dermatology gives us the low down on cosmeceuticals and what you should know about them.

North Idaho Dermatology carries an excellent line of beauty products. We only recommend those products we've tried and use.
If you have any questions feel free to call or come in so that we can help you determine what is right for your skin.

Hocus Pocus

Pepto Bismol on zits, hemorrhoid cream under your eyes? These and many other "beauty myths" tout sure fire results to solve your most common beauty emergencies. 

But, before you put anything on your face, beware. Many products that are designed for use on one part of your body may not help like you think they will on another. In the end you could end up doing more harm than good.

If you do run into a beauty emergency, give us a call. Our Cosmetic Services team can help you take care of your skin the right way. We're here to help answer any questions you may have and can give you the right information you need without all the hocus pocus.
