Recently, an article reported on dogs that actually sniff out skin cancers. While this is intriguing, it still is in its infancy, and we recommend a thorough exam by your dermatologist, even if your dog does seem to be a good sniffer! Here is the link to this interesting article:

We frequently see patients who tan prior to a vacation, with the thought that it will save them from a burn while on vacation. While it may seem like a good idea, we usually see more problems from this than benefits. The reason is that most patients don't have a significant boost from the tan, and are lulled into a false sense of security when they go to sunnier climates. The best option is to tan gradually while on vacation, and always use sunscreen and adjust tanning to the hours of less direct sunlight initially. Even if you do tan in advance, the sum total of the tan protection is equivalent to only an SPF of 4! Here is a link to recommended sunscreens from LovelySkin.com if you are looking for Dr. Schlessinger's picks.

These products allow for the natural replenishment of elastin and collagen. Purchase Elastiderm Eye Cream or Gel any time this month in the day spa and receive a complementary Eye Rescue Treatment from one of our three aestheticians.
