A Year of Dermangelo – What I Learned
It’s hard to believe that one year ago, I decided to hang my digital shingle and launch this blog. When I posted my humble first article about showering practices, part of me thought I’d just be shouting into the void of the internet. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find that my writing was well received and that so many people were eager to learn more about the science behind healthy skin. A year later, I can’t imagine my life without this creative outlet. It’s truly where “Dr. Landriscina, the skin doc” and Angelo, the person (and personality) meet and I’m so grateful I get to share my knowledge with…

Whether playing games like this or just simply walking down the street, many of us see thousands of faces per day, developing a sophisticated sort of facial recognition. This mechanism of the mind takes a snapshot that we likely don’t give a second thought to, but I’d challenge you to realize this: for each face we see, our minds automatically assign an age. Of course, we don’t realize that it’s happening, but all of our minds are crunching the numbers for…

Collagen Supplements Might Actually Work
If you know me, you know how I feel about a lot of the claims made about dietary supplements. As we know, the regulation of supplements is fairly lax when compared to actual medications. Because of this, they don’t have to go through rigorous trials to prove their effectiveness before making it to the market. However, this doesn’t stop people from using them in droves.
