maximum daily antioxidant protection against free radicals, which cause premature signs of aging including fine lines and wrinkles. Their unique formula provides higher penetration of ingredients
than other Vitamin C products — delivering greater antioxidant benefit to your skin! Stop by the office to pick up this great product. It is available in different strengths, depending on your
skin type and need.

Obagi Elastiderm Eye Results!
February 29th, 2012
The results of using the Obagi Elastiderm Eye products speak for themselves. The line offers an eye gel or cream, and a serum. Typically the gel is used for patients who tend to have normal to oily skin, and the cream is for patients who have normal to dry skin. Some patients also prefer to use the gel base in the summer, or if you live in a tropical climate. The cream base provides more moisture in the winter, and for those living in drier areas. It also depends on preference, but the results are the same! Less fine lines and wrinkles! Their newest product, the Serum has a patented roller-ball technology that allows the product to be delivered to your eye area in the most beneficial way. Check out this before and after of a patient who has used the product for only 2 weeks!

12 Skin Tips for 2012!
January 26th, 2012
12 Skin Tips for 2012
1. See a dermatologist for a skin cancer screening. Getting an annual skin cancer screening by a Board-Certified Dermatologist takes 5 minutes and could save your life. Skin cancer is the #1 cancer of all cancers in the U.S.
2. Sunscreen counts. Apply sunscreen with an SPF 30 everyday to your face, neck, décolletage and hands! Sun protection will help prevent sun damage and photo-aging. Try Elta MD’s UV Clear or Elta MD UV Daily.
3. Clarisonic daily. Invest in a Clarisonic. Not getting your skin clean leaves dirt and environmental toxins that are harmful on your skin. Clarisonic Pro and Mia are on sale this month for 10% off!
4. Hydrate with a night cream and eye cream. Fight fine lines and wrinkles by hydrating your skin with DNA repair proteins like those found in Neocutis Resorative Biocream and Neocutis Lumiere Eye Cream or Obagi Elastiderm.
5. Use Retin-A. Retin-A or Tretinioin is a topical cream that reduces fine lines, wrinkles, reverses photo-aging, and helps rebuild collagen.
6. Get peeled. Chemical peels help exfoliate and turn over skin cells, attack blackheads, and large pores. Once a month chemical peels should be part of your skin care regimen.
7. Exfoliate. Using a physician grade cleanser with glycolic or salicylic acid like Neocutis Exfoliating Cleanser or Revisions Brightening Wash helps stimulate collagen production. Microdermabrasion monthly is also a great exfoliation routine.
8. Don’t forget your lips. Wearing a lipstick, gloss or lip balm with SPF 30 is just as important for your lips. We carry Jane Iredale Lip Drink, lip stains, and glosses. 
9. Hydrate. Drinking water is essential for moisturized, glowing skin.
10. Manage stress. Exercise, mediation, and getting the proper amount of sleep all decrease stress.
11. Diet counts. Foods high in sugar and fat cause collagen breakdown.
12. Stomp out smoking. Smoking causes wrinkles and breakdown of skin elasticity and decreased healing.

Freckles 101
January 11th, 2012
Did you know there are 2 types of freckles? The 2 types are: simple freckles called, ephelides and sunburn freckles called, lentigines.
Simple freckles are usually red, tan, brown, black, or yellow, but are usually uniform in color throughout one person’s body. Oftentimes, simple freckles are genetic and are usually darker in the summer and lighter during the winter. Simple freckles are not harmful or dangerous.
Sunburn freckles don’t fade during the winter months. They also tend to be darker in color than simple freckles, and may have irregular borders. Sunburn freckles are a result of the skin receiving too much sun. This type of freckle does have the potential to develop into something dangerous, like skin cancer, and you may want to consider treatment.
Visit Warthan Dermatology for a skin check, it’s a simple appointment, and we can easily educate you on why any of these freckles may be a concern to your skin health. You can receive a skin check from Dr. Mandy L. Warthan, Dr. Molly M. Warthan, or from our Physician’s Assistant, Lindsay McCauley.
