You don't have to spend a lot to have excellent skin care, and you don't need to have it be a multi-step routine. Oftentimes, people overdo it, you know, The more steps there are, there's more chances that something your skin will respond to negatively. The more chances you are to have a bad outcome to an ingredient of a product you're putting on your skin.

So keep it simple, keep it cheap, and you'll do great.

So most things that are sold over the counter have actives that are not at a concentration high enough to be considered therapeutic, because that's when you get into the definition of a drug. So looking at things like anti-dandruff shampoos, you know, anti-aging creams, you know, acne medications. They work a little bit.

If they work perfectly, then most medical dermatologists would be out of a lot of patients. And we see a lot of skin disease that still continues because the active ingredients aren't at a concentration high enough to provide therapeutic benefit. So save your money.

Great, like great controversial question. And it depends on which... school of thought or camp you belong in. As a skin cancer surgeon and somebody who's developed a reputation for seeing some of the worst, most complicated and life-threatening skin cancers in Los Angeles, obviously I see some of the consequences of long-term sun exposure and chronic photoaging.

That being said, I absolutely think that getting sun is healthy for us. Now, Why? The studies that talk about vitamin D, and we'll touch on vitamin D as its own entity and then overall health as another entity, but most of the studies that look at vitamin D synthesis from UV exposure on the skin suggest that you only need about 15 minutes and that you don't need a broad surface area of exposure.
