Back-to-School Stress and Acne. Learn To Take Charge
Of Your Skin Before Stress Takes Over.
It's that time of year again. Time to start thinking about school. What classes
will you be in? Will you see your friends? Most important, will you fit in?
Sometimes all this stress is enough to give you a face full of pimples just in

Rosy Cheeks. Is it Summer Sunburn or a More
Permanent Problem?
It's summer and the sun is warm and invigorating. But lately you've noticed the
"healthy glow" from being outdoors is remaining on your face a little too long.
Your cheeks and nose, in particular, are sporting a red flush long after you've
gone indoors to escape the heat and sun. So why is your face still red?

Expert Advice About Your Acne Treatment and Winter
Dryness
During the winter, many people suffer from dry skin. But for those who suffer
from acne or acne-prone skin, and use acne treatment medications, the winter
can be especially difficult.
Why Is my Nose so Red?
Winter can certainly wreak havoc on your skin, with colder temperatures and
lower levels of humidity leading to drier air and drier skin, not to mention
frequent colds and nose-blowing. What you perceive to be redness from harsh
winds or chapped skin due to the common cold could actually be a persistent
redness that is a sign of a skin disease called rosacea. Since cold weather and
strong winds are triggers that can aggravate rosacea, there is a possibility
that the redness may not be what you think.
Winter Skin Care: Don’t Spread Your Winter
Moisturizing Routine Too Thin.
Whether you live in the midwest, the north, or some southern climates, winter
weather, even when it's mild, brings a marked change to your skin. And while
you might love cuddling under your favorite mohair throw, curling up in front
of the fireplace, or even snuggling with a hot water bottle, you need to
consider what these changes in the weather mean to your skin.
Got Dandruff? Don’t Stress It
Each year, blizzards of white flakes send millions of men and women rushing to
the drugstore — not to get snow shovels or sand — but to try to find relief
from the embarrassing itch of dandruff. We all have to learn, though, not to
stress out over it. Stress and anxiety, many dermatologists agree, can
exacerbate an existing condition.
