The ASPCA says more dogs run away in July than any other month, with many escapes triggered by the fireworks that light the skies around the Fourth of July. Veterinarian Dr. Jeff Werber shares his tips for keeping your dog safe this holiday.
Board-certified dermatologist Peterson Pierre, MD, of the Pierre Skin Care Institute said that “without a doubt” the ISDIN Eryfotona Ageless is his “favorite combination product” and that “there is no better product on the market.” Notably, it boasts enzymes that help repair sun damage, peptides that offer anti-aging benefits and antioxidants that fight against free radical damage and environmental pollution, noted Pierre. The SPF 50 product also boasts a “light” tint that blends into darker skin tones, according to Pierre. It earned a 4.5-star average rating from nearly 600 reviews on Amazon.
Though hyperpigmentation can be annoying to deal with, the good news is that it is totally treatable and preventable, and actually quite normal. In most cases, it also isn’t a severe skin condition, and many times is more of a cosmetic issue. Lots of people with darker skin tones will deal with hyperpigmentation at some point in their lives.
The bad news is that it can often be challenging to treat and there are no quick fixes to it, says Peterson Pierre, MD, a board-certified dermatologist at the Pierre Skin Care Institute. “There are also no procedures that magically erase hyperpigmentation so be wary of unethical claims.”
It’s not uncommon for patients to find doctors via social media like Instagram and Snapchat. These platforms, when used appropriately, can be a good indicator of the kind of doctor you’re getting, says Dr. Rahban. You can get a sense of the doctor’s personality and the kinds of surgeries they do, “But when a doctor utilizes it as an entertainer or for shock factor, it tells a lot about [their] professionalism.” Meaning, popularity is more important to them than patient care.
