The California-based is no stranger toeczemaflare-ups, a condition that affects nearly32 million peoplein the United States.
“With this program, we get to share our stories of how we deal with eczema.
I hope it will encourage people to seek health care and find treatment options that work for them.”
About Her Skin
“I have verydry skinandmild to moderate eczema.
I’ve dealt with it since I was a baby.
How She Got Into Skincare
“My dad is a dermatologist.
I was surrounded by textbooks that had jarring skin conditions in them.
I would read them while I ate my cereal.
So, I always say I was thrown into the dermatology world.
Having eczema helped me hone my skills as a dermatologist, too.”
Her Morning Versus Nighttime Routine
“My skincare routine is pretty simple.
As I’ve gotten older, I do not have a 12- or 20-step routine.
I don’t really like to get facials, either.
At night, I wash my face and put moisturizer on immediately after to seal in moisture.
I also put petroleum jelly on my face and around my eyes.
In the morning, I’ll use a simple face wash and agood moisturizer.”
We don’t think twice about scrubbing our skin with a rough towel when we’re younger.
However, chronic rubbing can increase fine lines and wrinkles.
So, I’ve become very conscious of being gentle and loving towards my skin.”
Another skincare pet peeve is feeling you have to try something because someone recommended it to you.
Sometimes, that product may not work for you because your skin bang out is different."
Since I have eczema, I use a prescription, non-steroidal cream.
I also useretinol."
Now, I’m watching younger dermatologists entering the field and doing amazing things on social media.
I’m so proud of them."
