Your Guide to Pregnancy Acne

Pregnancy is supposed to be a magical time full of hope and wonder.   For some people, it is also full of pimples and cysts.

Turning Back the Clock – For Women Only!

  It is no secret that women have it harder.  First, we get monthly periods well before we need them. Then, we go through pregnancy with its hormone spikes, body stretching, and delivering an entire human being out of a tiny opening.  Just as we are trying to bounce back, menopause strikes to slow us down. The body region hit the hardest is, of course, the female genitourinary system. Women experience vaginal itching, dryness, irritation, poor lubrication, pain during intercourse, ...

But now, we start to see them even when our faces are perfectly still – and we don’t like it one bit.  Enter: Baby Botox.   Our muscles of facial expression contract to make us raise our ...

Your Post-Summer Skin Fix

  Ah, summer!  Endless sunny days lounging on the beach and warm sultry nights out on the town.  Or, if you’re like the rest of us New Yorkers, oppressive heat radiating from the sidewalks, stifling close-quartered subway commutes, and profuse unabating perspiration.
