What Products Dermatologists Take on Vacation |
|
Ever wonder what products Dermatologists and Skin Care Experts pack for vacations? These summer essentials make their traveling cut for sun protection and skin care on-the-go:
SUNSCREEN FOR ALL CLIMATES AND TERRAIN: EltaMD UV Sport Broad-Spectrum SPF 50 provides transparent zinc protection that's water-resistant up to 80-minutes. Walk, hike, swim, relax. The 3 oz. tube is TSA compliant for your carry-on. It's also available in a 7 oz. size for longer journeys. Bring enough for you and the whole family. Check out Chemical-Free/Reef-Safe Sunscreens HERE, kinder to the ocean's ecosystem (and Hawaii-approved). Toss in a lip balm with SPF, like TIZO Tinted Lip Protection SPF 45, your lips will thank you!
PACK LIGHT: Always take your favorite facial cleanser and moisturizer on the road. Save space by choosing travel-size containers that will hold enough product for the duration of your trip. Depending on the product, 1 oz. or 1/2 oz. should do! Dr. Christine Moussa likes Avene Hydrance Rich Moisturizer to keep her skin extra hydrated after long flights (and the tube is a convenient size). Eye cream is a must, so you will want to pop that into your travel bag too.
DON'T FORGET YOUR HAT: Protecting your scalp, while shading your face, ears, and neck is ideal year-round. Our team loves Sunday Afternoons hats for their durability, UPF 50+ protection, easy packing, and fun styles for every adventure! Explore UV shield gloves and sleeves, for added protection.
PRO TIP: Slip, Slop, Slap®...and Wrap
Before you head out for the day, slip on a shirt, slop on broad-spectrum sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher, slap on a hat, and wrap on those sunglasses! You'll look sharp and be ready for anything!

Dermal Fillers can enhance the shape, size and appearance of your lips. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, lip fillers were among the top 5 minimally invasive cosmetic procedures performed in 2020, with 2.8 million procedures done. Lip fillers can last from 6 - 12 months, depending on the type and amount of filler used. Despite the popularity of the procedure, there are still some common misconceptions.
MYTH: Lip fillers make your lips look too large, fake, and swollen.
FACT: Dermal Fillers for lips can be customized to suit your preferences and goals. Our team of skilled Cosmetic Providers can create natural-looking results to further enhance your facial features.
MYTH: Lip fillers will stretch out or deflate your lips.
FACT: Dermal Fillers are gradually absorbed by your body and can be dissolved if needed. Over time, your lips return to their original shape and size.
MYTH: Lip augmentation is painful and has a long recovery time.
FACT: Dermal Filler injection is a minimally invasive procedure. Our fillers contain lidocaine, which numbs your lips during the injection. You may experience some swelling, bruising or tenderness for a few days, but these are usually mild and temporary.
Lip augmentation can improve your self-confidence and appearance by giving you fuller, more youthful-looking lips. It can also correct asymmetry, balance the proportion of your upper and lower lips, define shape, soften fine lines and wrinkles around your mouth, and hydrate your lips for a smoother look and feel.
