Obagi & Tretinoin (Retin-A) in the Summertime
For those of you who have been using Obagi and/or Tretinoin (Retin-A), you may have noticed that you are much more sensitive to the sun now that the summer months are upon us.
Tretinoin is made from vitamin A. As many of you already know, side effects of Retin-A include dryness, excessive redness, and peeling of the skin. But, what you may not know, is that Retin-A can also increase your sensitivity to sunlight and make you more likely to get sunburned. So, be sure to protect your skin from exposure to the sun by wearing broadband sunscreen and protective clothing.
Even though I work with patients everyday to correct the damage their skin has undergone from the sun, I too like to enjoy life and get some sunshine. So, to protect my skin while I am enjoying some rays I use Anthelios SX SPF 15 as my everyday sunscreen to ensure that I am protecting my skin from both UVB (burning rays) and UVA (aging) rays. I also add Skin Medica’s Environmental Defense Sunscreen SPF 30+ and my UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) 50 Sunscreen Hat when I know I am going to be enjoying the outdoors for an extended period of time.
If you find that you spend most of summer outdoors and are becoming too sun-sensitive and/or peeling too much, you may want to consider using Tretinoin every other night and Obagi #4 Exfoderm every other day instead of every day. This really made a difference for me as I started to notice my own increased sun-sensitivity once the spring sunshine hit.
I even have some patients who I recommend completely stop using their Tretinoin during the summer due to their active outdoor lifestyle with their families and children. For these patients, it is still important to continue the exfoliation process, so we replace their Retin-A with some other type of non sun-sensitizing exfoliation agent, such as Skin Medica’s 15% Alpha and Beta Hydroxy Acid Moisturizer.
The bottom line is if you use Tretinoin or any other retinoid derivative (Retin-A or Retinol), never forget your sunscreen!!!

Still Red on Retin-A?
I have been using Obagi with 0.025% Tretinoin (Retin-A) for 3 months and am loving it!
Yes, the first month was very harsh, but the results have been 100% worth it! Obagi Nu-Derm has not only significantly improved my freckles, hyperpigmentation and fine lines, but has also remarkably helped my acne break-outs and scarring.
If you are struggling with maintaining the use of Tretinoin, have no fear! There are other tools available to sooth and calm the dryness, redness, and peeling that can sometimes accompany the initiation of retinoids into any skincare line. T3™ Foaming Cleanser, T3™ Soothing Moisturizer, and T3™ Calming Wipes are products which were specifically formulated to provide the cleansing and moisturizing effects necessary with the initiation of retinoid therapy.
T3™ Foaming Cleanser is a mild, non-irritating, non-soap cleanser, which features antioxidant Coenzyme Q-10 and green tea extract. T3™ Soothing Moisturizer is a light, non-greasy moisturizer featuring the soothing complex of aloe vera, dipeptide-I, and bisabolol. T3™ Calming Wipes are individually packaged pads with hyaluronic acid and aloe vera gel which soothe and cool the skin while gently assisting in the removal of oils and residue of the skin. All of these products are a great way to increase the efficacy of Tretinoin in a system that addresses the issue of over drying. I even keep T3™ Calming Wipes in my gym bag as a quick and easy way to cleanse and add moisture to my skin after a hard work-out or a few hours at the pool.
For those of you who are just starting, hang in there! I know it can be very uncomfortable in the beginning due to the excessive peeling and dryness (I know, I’ve been there!), but if you stick with it, you will start seeing great results after about one month.

Help Your Man Take Care of His Skin this Father's Day
Is your man a “man’s man?” Does his daily grooming routine consist of two-in-one shampoo, bar soap, and a single-edge razor? While that routine may let him get ready for the day in under 15 minutes (he probably times it) it doesn’t provide ample protection against the dangerous rays of the sun. And if he has a lot of sun damage, there are treatments available that can improve the look and health of his skin.
A good way to ease the man in your life into a healthy skin care routine is to purchase products that are unscented or have a light scent and feature masculine packaging. NIA 24 and SkinMedica feature lines that are easy to use and contain SPF protection good for daily use. I recommend NIA 24 Sun Damage Prevention 100% Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30. This duo-action sun damage prevention is weightless, oil-free and absorbs instantly for complete protection. The product also improves skin tone, texture and hyperpigmentation. SkinMedica’s TNS Ultimate Daily Moisturizer assists the body’s natural processes in fighting environmentally-induced skin aging. It also provides fantastic hydration and antioxidant protection.
Sometimes damaged skin needs more than top-of-the-line prescription grade products. Many men benefit from non-invasive treatments like IPL, which decreases hyperpigmentation,age and sun spots is a relatively painless treatment that improves skin that has been expose to the sun year after year. The Pearl procedure treats the deeper layers of skin with pulses of light. In a few weeks, new skin is revealed.
If your man may not be ready for new products and procedures, he will certainly appreciate a Clarisonic brush. This tool (what guy doesn’t like a new tool) is proven to give Dad the closest shave he’s ever had. Women enjoy Clarisonic because it helps skin care products absorb deep into the skin. Clarisonic is fun, easy to use...and it’s one of Oprah’s Favorite Things!
Timeless Skin Solutions also has gift cards available. Bring your husband for father to our Dublin office for a consultation. After he discovers the benefits of a modern-day skin care routine, he’ll never go back to his old ways.
