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 (or atopic dermatitis) is very common and worsens in dry climates, in the winter, and when sick. All the extra hand washing and hand sanitizing with COVID have not helped. Moisturizers are an essential tool for preventing and minimizing skin flares. Other tricks help as well.
Keratosis pilaris (chicken skin)
Keratosis pilaris (KP or chicken skin or goosebump skin) happens when your hair follicles get plugged up on the upper outer arms, outer thighs and bottom, and sometimes the cheeks. This makes the skin feel rough and bumpy. It 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.
