This one deserves a DON’T GET ME STARTED. Using your “doctor hat” to make pronouncements about a category of important products you are not well-versed in can only lead to distrust of the medical profession. Please stick to your scalpel and stop looking for clicks. Don’t you want to be respected for what you trained so hard, for so many years, to do, which is surgery? I received this video from so many people asking me to comment that I felt I had to do it. Don’t get me started. #sunscreen #plasticsurgeonsoftiktok #dermatologist #dermatologytiktok #sunscreenviral #sunscreen101

On the list of things this young woman will regret, her tanning sessions will likely be high up there. My days are filled with women who are covered in brown spots and wishing they had stayed out of the sun when they were younger. The thrill of a temporary tan pales in comparison (no pun intended, well, maybe a little)to the dismay at looking at your discolored and leathery skin years later. If you’re young enough to not have these spots yet, STOP TANNING NOW! And if you’re a parent funding any tanning sessions for your kids, close the bank. #tanningsalon #tanning #tanningroutine #tanningchallenge #tan #sunscreen#dermatologist

Do I really care whether Kristin cavalleri wears sunscreen or not? Nope. Not one little bit. Do I CRINGE hearing her respond, “Ohhh” to a holistic practitioner saying that astanxanthin is “internal sunscreen?” Indeed I do! Why? Because they are both clueless, but the guy with the hair and the baseball cap actually gives health advice to people who might need real, genuine, intelligent, honest and accurate information! I know, I know, I’m a traditional western medicine doctor and people who take the advice of “holistic” practitioners don’t listen to physicians like me. I am done trying to convince them. But when these lemmings have real medical issues, hopefully they will know enough to look for health care professionals with actual medical knowledge and credentials who can help them. I realize that, by addressing these two in any way, I am giving them more attention on social media than they deserve, which could harm innocent viewers who listen to their platitudes about sun safety. For that I am sorry. Oh, and by the way, Ryan, get yourself a proper hat , not a cap, for the Malibu sunshine. #kristincavallari #sunscreen #holistichealing #holisticdoctor #holistichealth #sunscreenviral

Your kids deserve the best and it’s never too early to start. Make sure their skin is well protected all the time with whichever product you choose. Some of the better sunscreens are relatively pricey, and if it’s not possible, then layer an American chemical sunscreen with a mineral product and reapply frequently. If it means skimping on a Sephora haul to get a more thorough sunscreen, that would be a great option. Never too early to start doing right by your kiddo’s skin! #kids #kidsskincare #skincare #kiddos #vaseline #sunscreen #dermatologist
