Let's talk about retinol and retinoids.
Retinoids:
Derived from vitamin a, retinoids are beneficial for wrinkles, scarring, and hyperpigmentagion. Some versions can help treat acne and rosacea. Drugs like Accutane which is a prescription strength retinoid must be prescribed by a Dr.

Retinoids should not be used if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

There are however pros and cons of retinoids.
Pros: can address chronic skin conditions, stimulate cell growth and regenerate the skin

Cons: may affect other skin treatments such as chemical peels. Can be costly and cause dryness to the skin

For retinol: there are over the counter products such as Alastin Skincare Renewal Retinol, Neutrogena Retinol Cream, RoC Retinol Correxion Face Serum.
Retinols are more easily accessible to find and tend to not be as strong as retinoids. Just like retinoids though, retinols treat the same issues such as aging skin and acne. As well, a con of retinol is drying skin and potential redness.

One of my faves!

May is Melanoma and skin cancer awareness month. The first Monday in May is Melanoma Monday. The AAD created this day in 1995 to call attention to the seriousness of melanoma and encourage everyone to perform a skin self-exam. Checking your skin can help you find skin cancer early when it’s highly treatable. Even melanoma, the most serious skin cancer, is highly treatable when found early!

What is collagen? You probably have been hearing that word a lot lately. But you may be wondering what exactly is it?

Collagen is a protein that makes up 30% of the proteins in your body. It provides structure, strength, and support in the body. For the skin specifically, it helps skin form in the dermis (middle layer of skin). It plays a role in replacing dead skin cells and makes new cells grow. Therefore, it improves the appearance of wrinkles and dry skin.

Did we almost get you??? 🤣😂

Some of my personal favorites for skincare products that I use for myself. I have combination skin :)

Remember to take your vitamins! You can get them through fruits and veggies. You'll see a difference in your skin. Vitamin A is good for antiaging and acne. It prevents sun damage. Vitamin C improves collagen. Collagen is the most important protein in the body it increases muscle mass, prevent bone loss, relieve joint pain, and improve skin health by reducing wrinkles and dryness.
