Best of Drug Store Beauty: Hot in the South

  1. Chill aid: “Keeping cool is essential for clear skin,” explains Jacquelyn Dosal, M.D., a dermatologist in Miami, who uses this soothing mist to refresh skin on steamy days.  La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water, $13.
  2. Melt-proof mouth: Long-lasting lip tints may not budge for hours, but most feel really drying.  “This one isn’t at all” says Ramon Rosado, a makeup artist in Hollywood, Florida.  Palladio Velvet Matte Cream Lip Color in Sateen, $7.
  3. Smooth move: “I see a lot of patients with frizzy hair in the summer.  One way to help prevent it is to switch to this sulfate-free shampoo,” says Dr. Dosal.  Aveeno Pure Renewal Shampoo, $6.
  4. Good clean fun: Battle the oily skin you get in summer with a lightweight gel cleanser that is both effective and gentle.  “This one cleans deeply but leaves skin soft and supple because it helps you retain moisture,” says Dr. Dosal.  Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hydrating Cleansing Gel, $8.
  5. Fine-line fix: Retinoids, a derivative of Vitamin A, are the antiaging gold standard, but “they’re too irritating for some patients,” says Patricia Farris, M.D., a dermatologist in Metairie, Louisiana.  “I tell them to pick up this retinol serum ins read.” RoC Retinol Correxion Deep Wrinkle Serum, $23.
  6. Underarm armor: An antiperspirant you can count on in the sticky South: “This protects for 48 hours and evens out the dark marks I’m prone to under my arms,” says Alicia Barca, M.D., a dermatologist in Miami.  Dove Advanced Care Clear Tone Antiperspirant, $5.

Dr. Dosal Featured in Harper’s Bazaar

Dr. Jacquelyn Dosal was featured in this month’s Harper’s Bazaar Australia.  Journalist Amy Molloy consults with Dr. Dosal about over-stretched concerns regarding sunscreen safety.

Molloy writes that women are skipping daily sunscreen use for fear of putting chemicals on their skin. This “chemophobia” is largely internet and celebrity driven, in contradiction to scientific studies that demonstrate safety and effectiveness of sunscreens.

Dr. Dosal explains that the many of the assertions of toxicity come from lab animals that were fed sunscreen.  According to Dr. Dosal,

“There is a monstrous difference between eating super-high doses of sunscreen and applying it to your skin daily.”

To put it in perspective, it would take 200 years of daily sunscreen application to reach any amount of concern such as the scenarios found in the often cited rat studies.

If one has concerns, there are certain ingredients, such as zinc and titanium dioxide based, that are marketed as “chemical free,” (which really is a misnomer – everything is a chemical…. even water – remember H2O anyone?).

In summary, sunscreen not only prevents skin cancer, but it is also the best anti-aging ingredient on the market.  Don’t waste your time with fancy La Mer products if you aren’t wearing sunscreen every day!
