Let's Talk Adult Acne
By Dulcy Published: January 11, 2012

When asking a friend the other day about some of her skincare concerns, she immediately said adult acne.

Adult acne can stretch into your 20’s and even through your 40‘s, and a lot of women are dealing with it these days. I myself get a blemish or two every now and then, so I got to wondering, what are the causes? Dr. Schultz has identified three major causes of adult acne:

Do you have four minutes?
By Dulcy Published: January 09, 2012

The other week I talked about my New Years’ Resolution: to get back into my well-oiled 2011 skincare routine, which had experienced a bit of disruption during the holidays.

What does Dr. Schultz suggest? Spend four minutes a day on improving your skin. Just four minutes. He promises that dedicating this teeny weeny bit of time to your skin everyday and using the skincare essentials (exfoliants, antioxidants and sunscreen) we’ve been blogging about, you’ll achieve brighter, more beautiful and healthy skin.

Chapped Lips
By Dulcy Published: December 14, 2011

If I had a penny for every time my lips were chapped, well, let’s just say I wouldn’t be buying lottery tickets.

The issue of chapped lips is, simply put, an over drying of the skin on your lip. Cold air, low humidity, sunlight and even strong winds can cause this excessive dryness.

The reason why your lips can dry out so quickly - faster than other areas of your skin - is due to the fact that the skin on your lips is actually a mucus membrane. Without getting too technical, this means that the skin on your lips is much thinner and more delicate, so it’s more vulnerable.

Easy Does It... with your Eyes
By Dulcy Published: December 05, 2011

This weekend was a busy one. With holiday parties to go to and final papers to write, let’s just say I didn’t get to call either night an early one.

As I was winding down on Sunday afternoon, I got to thinking about dark circles (again)... thinking that on Monday morning I might find my skin looking a bit tired - especially around my eyes.

Hold the anchovies... and the acne?
By Dulcy Published: November 28, 2011

After a happy Thanksgiving holiday weekend, I got to wondering, does the food that we eat affect our skin, and the health of our skin? Is it possible that it could cause acne breakouts?

So I decided to check out DermTV to see what Dr. Schultz had to say about acne breakouts and food. Here’s the scoop:

A Skincare Mistake (or two)
By Dulcy Published: November 23, 2011

We all make mistakes. And we certainly make them with our skin. I see it as part of the getting to know my skin process. We certainly wouldn’t know what worked and what didn’t if we never gave anything a try. Right?

I think I’ve mentioned my allergy to sunless tanners before - and I’ve made the same mistake several times over by trying different types of sunless tanners, thinking that my skin might accept one better than the other. I eventually figured out that I was allergic to the dye ingredient - dihydroxyacetone - and that was that. No more sunless tanners for me.

We’ve covered skincare in your teens, and in your twenties, so why not touch on skincare tips for those of us in our thirties?

Regardless of your age, you should be using the skincare essentials: exfoliating products, antioxidants, and sunscreen. However, as we age our main skincare concerns change.
