Side effects of Accutane
Accutane is the best acne treatment. It has several possible side effects, but they are nearly all manageable with dermatologist-recommended over-the-counter skin products.
Simple Skincare Routine
We all want healthy skin, especially on our face - looking younger, with less acne, smaller pores, and smoother skin. Many will try to convince you that you have to spend a LOT of money and have a complex regimen. They really just want your money. Here is a simple regimen that makes a big difference.
Anti-Aging (Fighting Wrinkles)
At some point, we all start wanting to look a little younger. But don’t be fooled—many products and influencers try to convince you that you need an expensive, complicated routine. They’re usually just trying to sell you something. The truth? A simple, proven routine can make a big difference—and it doesn’t have to cost much.
Dandruff (Itchy Scalp)
Dandruff is common and annoying, causing flakes, itchiness, or both. Medicated dandruff shampoos with ingredients like ketoconazole, selenium sulfide, or zinc pyrithione really help—if you know how to use them correctly for the best results.
Eczema (Atopic Dermatitis)
Eczema (atopic dermatitis) is common and often worsens in winter, dry climates, or when you're sick. Frequent handwashing doesn’t help. Daily moisturizers are key to preventing flares, and a few extra tricks can make a big difference.
Keratosis pilaris (chicken skin)
Keratosis pilaris (KP or “chicken skin”) happens when hair follicles get plugged, usually on the upper arms, thighs, bottom, or cheeks. It feels rough and bumpy but is easy to treat with the right over-the-counter acid-based moisturizers.
Sweating (Hyperhidrosis)
Hyperhidrosis is too much sweating in the armpits, hands, feet, groin, scalp, or face. Sweat normally cools your body, but no one wants to sweat too much when they are anxious, stressed, or nervous. Clinical strength antiperspirants work well if you know how to use them.
Sunburn Care
A sunburn is the skin’s reaction to too much ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Prevent sunburns with sunscreen or sun-protective clothing, but if a sunburn does happen, there are things you can do to help it heal quicker.
Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation is a temporary darkening of the skin that has been inflamed or injured. It doesn’t itch or hurt, but most people with it do not like how it looks. It gets worse with sunlight. The sun is hard to avoid, but a combination of over-the-counter options + daily sun protection can really help.
Perioral dermatitis
Perioral dermatitis is red bumps and/or small pimples around the mouth and sometimes around the nose or eyes. Do not use topical steroids for this rash. Good over-the-counter treatments are available if you know how to use them.
