Our skin barrier is greatly effected by the seasons.
1. I recommend having a lightweight and a thicker moisturizer to take care of that skin barrier.
2. Continue to use your retinoid in the warmer months at night and wash it off in the morning.

I often hear people say I stopped my retinoid in summer because I was at the beach/lake a lot, but honestly I would rather you stop using a retinoid on the ski slopes.
❔Why❔ Cold weather and retinoids both affect the protective moisture skin barrier and can cause it to become compromised. If you’ve ever had burning and stinging on your skin this means it’s compromised. Hence the term “barrier repair” as the answer.
So stick around as I talk about How to Start a Retinoid.
There’s a huge gap in knowledge and legit skincare info here. If you think you can’t tolerate a retinoid then I promise you’re missing a key tip- to out it plainly and as nicely as possible- you’re not doing it right because it probably hasn’t been explained well to you.
That’s where I come in. I got you! I want you to know and understand the second most important step in your routine after SPF daily!
👍If you have a complete skincare routine- you’re covered no worries!

Got stinky underarms?
No deodorant helping?
Here are 2 reasons benzoyl peroxide should be in your shower:
to shave with to prevent ingrown hairs- or use right after shaving
to cleanse the underarms if yours are smelly despite alll the deodorant/anti-perspirant (it's called bromhidrosis).... this benefits from prescriptions as well so don't hesitate to schedule at your local derm office

IMO there are 2 categories of skincare: drugstore and medical-grade.
The brands in between don't have the medical research to prove that they do what they say they can do. The PROBLEM is they have the price of those that do.
It's never wrong to purchase all medical grade products, but there are still some caveats.
So here's what you do:
purchase medical grade products where YOU need to for your skin and goals. (sometimes you need prescriptions and sometimes you need to spend on in-office treatments) That's where I come in to help!
if you purchase all medical grade you don't need to worry about quality, but sometimes the price can be a bit high and easily replaceable so if you're not going to buy the entire line as designed then you need to fill in the gaps with other products. That's where I come in to help guide you.

Three main factors to using a RETINOID correctly:
1️⃣Don't use to much (pea size amount)
2️⃣Start slowly- apply night 1 then repeat night 4 the first week then increase to every other night and then nightly. It can take up to 6 weeks for your skin to tolerate.
3️⃣Moisturize*-after, before, or can even mix with the retinoid before applying
*the thicker the better!

Have breakouts or acne?
I'm kind of convinced everyone benefits from a benzoyl peroxide cleanser in the shower. Use on face and/or body for oily skin or breakouts.
These are listed in order of most gentle to strongest. The oilier your skin the stronger you can use, but reserve the 10% strength for your body only!
PRO TIP: use your benzoyl peroxide cleanser to shave to prevent ingrown hairs.

Got your daily routine down?? Now what 🤷🏻♀️
👉🏼👉🏼👉🏼E X F O L I A T I O N👈🏼👈🏼👈🏼
Exfoliation removes dead skin cells- which is so important for skin health! oily AND dry skin 🤯
By age 40 it takes about a month for new skin cells to emerge … and more like 2 days for toddlers 😅
So which way will you exfoliate? I’ll go first!
🙋🏻♀️I have normal-oily breakout prone skin.
I exfoliate in the shower with a gentle exfoliating cleanser (Obagi) OR a physical exfoliator like Alastin ReSURFACE Skin Polish or @cleanlogic pad with cleanser.
I also use a toning pad 1-2 times daily, which is a chemical and physical exfoliator.
Remember the secret is a complete skincare routine. Grab one for your skin type for FREE at the website linked in my profile.
Here are a few categories of exfoliating products:
Liquid toner with chemical exfoliants
Toning pad with chemical exfoliants + textured pad for physical exfoliation
Exfoliating cleansers - liquid cleanser that has a subtle texture and/or chemical exfoliants
Exfoliators- these are thick and gritty and may have chemical exfoliants in them as well

What’s so nice about getting older is being confident and honest with yourself and others about doing things the way you want.
like how I really don’t look forward to showers, especially ones for me.
I crave time with close friends most and am most excited about Rose getting to meet them and learn from them💗
So we took a beach trip centered around @ftb catering tacos 🌮 AKA Rose’s favorite middle of the night snack.

It’s not as important which products you use but that you’re getting EACH STEP.
For example- a retinoid is the most important step in your PM routine but if you don’t use a moisturizer then it will be a bad experience. One product is not the answer..
a Complete Skincare Routine is 100% the answer.
PM
1 makeup remover- oil cleanse is best
2 cleanser
serums as desired to target specific tasks
3 eye cream
4 retinoid (or alternative if pregnant)
5 moisturizer - thicker in PM
My skin type is oily, breakouts prone. Here are the products mentioned:
@sulwhasoo.us gentle cleaning oil (update: i ♥️ @avene oil cleanser)
@epionce Lytic gel cleanser
@epionce Renewal Eye Cream
Tretinoin- Prescription and $ (cheap)
@cerave skin renewing night cream

We live and we learn, but I want you to learn these the easy way!
These 3 questions come up daily from DMs, consults etc
1 do I need THIS product?? Everyone is talking about it.
👉🏼 the question is do you need the ingredient so it depends on other products you’re using and your skin type.
2 I’m doing my routine but my pores still bother me. Should I buy this product that advertises pores no more? 👉🏼 😡 NO. I’m so mad at skincare brands that falsely market this. Some ingredients help maintain or prevent but you have to find an esthetician to see actual improvement. You need at home skincare too, but think of seeing an esthetician as a tune up. Microneedling is my fav treatment for pores.
3 should I wear sunscreen every day? 👉🏼 YES! Every AM. Use a moisturizer with SPF 30 or more. It can be tinted and even be your makeup👍🏼 Don't rely on the SPF in your makeup. Either mix it with a sunscreen or apply sunscreen before makeup as your moisturizer.
Are you making these #skincaremistakes ?
I want you to know there’s always hope! The answer is a COMPLETE ROUTINE with products paired on #purpose , and I'm committed to every woman having personalized skincare no matter their budget or life situation.
I’m passionate about the services we provide because 🤜skincare marketing.

Complete. Skincare. Routines.
the goal here AND the path to healthy skin… also what we’re about here.
Here are my guiding mantras:
♥️ skincare is about ingredients Paired On Purpose
♥️ there are NOT that many skincare ingredients but SO many brands (aka marketing)
♥️ we each have different areas we should spend money for our skin type and concerns … and sometimes it’s more on in-office treatments and less $ on the daily skincare.
♥️ a skincare routine is the secret to long term success for brown spots, acne, rosacea
(trust me.. I’m a Derm PA 😉)
… I have my (stylish sun) hat on the fact that this is often overlooked because insurance doesn’t pay for it.
♥️ most skincare ingredients used to be prescription only.
♥️ skincare lines offer a complete routine …
Cons- there’s not one brand that has the best of all types of products at the best price.
♥️ you CAN mix products from different brands IF you pair them by ingredient type.. I try teach this, but it can get complicated. I also have consults to do it for you.
♥️ skincare is self love.
As we age our skin needs a little extra TLC due to progressive dryness and longer cell turnover.
Easy fix with a complete skincare routine.
Stick around next week. We’ll build a step-by-step routine together.
5-6 products is all you need 👍🏼
What questions do you have??
(I obviously love to talk about skincare 💁🏻♀️😘.)

You only need 5 skincare products for healthy skin and anti-aging.
1 Cleanser

3 Vitamin C Serum AM
4 Sunscreen -AM
5 Moisturizer-PM (and sometimes AM before SPF)
then add exfoliation in the form of a toner or cleanser once you're ready!
I wish I would have known this sooner ♥️

Here’s what I do here and why I do it:
Not knowing what to buy (or how to use what you’ve bought) shouldn’t be the thing keeping you from a complete skincare routine for your skin health ♥️
Skincare by Sydney exists to
👉🏼 make skincare more accessible
👩🏻⚕️ offer an information-driven medical perspective on both drugstore & medical-grade skincare products.
🧪 make sure skin-health-motivated women understand the ingredients that can help address their areas of concern
💸 feel confident discerning where to invest their money in medical-grade products, and when opting for a drugstore product is equally effective.
because we’re living in an era
of overmarketed “high-end” products shouting at us women from store shelves
where dermatologists/dermPA/NP often have time to explain individual ingredients during clinical visits
I started posting here to stand in the gap to help women form a personalized routine to take better care of their skin… with advice I give my patients in the dermatology clinic.
The goal is always to create ways to make that possible for all budgets and energy levels so hop on over to stories or below and tell me:
What’s keeping you from a skincare routine?
🤯the overwhelm/confusion
👛Expense
🤷🏻♀️Not sure if you need one
something else/ tell me!
