It’s hard to believe that one year ago, I decide

It’s hard to believe that one year ago, I decided to hang my digital shingle and launch my 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 you all in this way.
.
.
💁🏻‍♂️That said, I’ve learned so much from all of you in the last year. While seeing patients in clinical practice gives me an intimate view of people’s beliefs about skin health, taking my skills online has taught me so much about how information travels, and where we’re headed next. .

I started the new year with a trip to #Paris and #Amsterdam with @jujuinla and you know what? I didn’t buy any #skincare!
.
. 🇫🇷While #France is the birthplace of dermatology and home to beaucoup fabulous brands, I just didn’t feel the need to stock up like I usually do. Why? I have enough products for now. I’m trying to think more about #sustainability and my skincare #carbonfootprint.

A new year—nay—a new decade, is upon us and I have something to say! I’m tired of New Year’s resolutions with no substance – you know, the same weak promises that rear their ugly heads year after year like “drink more water” or “take better care of my skin.” While making substantive improvements to your skin health in the next decade might seem elusive, it’s easy if you break it down to the basics. .

Winter is upon us! That means it’s prime time for irritation, redness and dryness. I don’t know about you, but I always change up my routine with the seasons. I start alternating irritating active ingredients like #tretinoin and #aha rather than using them every night. I also use thicker moisturizers to soothe the dry zones of my #combinationskin.

Never forget why you do what you do! Within the last week there has been a lot of controversy around "medical influencers," and for good reason. While many of my medical colleagues on instagram and other platforms are using social media as a tool to help others understand their personal health, there are plenty of people who have been swayed by the promise of money and popularity.
.
👨🏻‍⚕️That's why it really hit home when @aadmember decided to share this quote from me. There are so many reasons why I love #dermatology, and I do my best every day to never lose sight of the motivations that got me here.
.
.
🙌I'm also reminded of some great advice @drjashton gave me: You have to be a good physician first. For me, this means putting my training and my patients before anything else.

Look at my cute lil co-residents! Residency interv

Look at my cute lil co-residents! Residency interview season is officially upon us and I have one classic piece of advice for any interview situation: don’t just be yourself, be the best version of yourself. What do I mean by this? Of course be on your best behavior, but you should also let what’s unique about you shine. When we’re being true to ourselves, our passion shines through and that’s what people will remember. Memorable people are the ones who get the job, the promotion, the grant etc. That is, of course, if you’re memorable for the right reasons. 😉 .
.
Oh and make sure you know your own CV inside and out! You can be asked about anything on it, which gives you an opportunity to highlight some of your passions!

Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) affects up to 1

Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) affects up to 12% of XX people in the US – that’s roughly 5 million! This is a multifaceted syndrome that can cause problems ranging from insulin resistance to irregular periods to infertility. However, some of the most visible signs of PCOS manifest on the skin. They can include acne, excessive hair growth and androgenic alopecia.
.
.
Today I'm breaking down PCOS, and talking about treatments that can help! "PCOS and Your Skin" live on the blog! Link in bio!

A special thanks to @carrieannekv for this photo, and for being vocal about her experience living with PCOS!

My month with @abcnews is coming to a close today. I’ve had an incredibly fun and amazingly informative run here learning so much about medical journalism. One of my favorite parts of the job has been getting to go on set at @goodmorningamerica to watch @drjashton in action. Getting to see her integrity and professionalism in reporting medical news to millions every day is an inspiration.

Let me tell you something kids: you don’t need #sunscreen at night. The UV index at nighttime is 0. While applying #spf before bed isn’t necessarily bad for you, it’s just unnecessary.
.
🌝 What should you be doing instead? Applying a moisturizer that agrees with your skin type. Also, apply a lip balm or ointment before going to bed to protect you luscious lovelies from getting dried out while you 💤 .
.
🌚 And make sure you’re getting enough sleep. Sleep habits are just as important to your health as skincare, diet etc. Don’t neglect it!

There's one persistent skincare myth that has been

There's one persistent skincare myth that has been irking me for years, and I just need to set the record straight: there is no data to show that drinking more water will improve acne. #Acne does not arise from a water deficit. However, the inflammatory signature of acne does make the skin more susceptible to transepidermal water loss (TEWL). On top of that, some of the topicals we use to combat acne, like #retinoids, also increase TEWL.
.
.
💧 So why not just drink more water to offset this? To date, there has been no evidence showing that increasing water intake will have any impact on acne, or the TEWL it causes. While drinking an adequate amount of water is good for our overall health, using a noncomedogenic moisturizer with humectants like glycerin and hyaluronic acid will provide a more direct solution to water loss.

I’m so glad to finally be able to share that I’ll be giving a talk at the Orlando Dermatology, Aesthetic and Surgical Conference (@odac_derm) on January 18th! My talk, “Developing New Approaches to Caring for LGBTQ+ Patients” will help provide dermatologists with tools to provide competent care to their queer patients.
. .
🏳️‍🌈 I am so excited for this next step in my career, and for the opportunity to shed some light on this important topic for my fellow dermatologists! If you’re at the conference, swing by for some knowledge 📚 .

I must be honest, I usually mask as more of a #selfcare measure than for results. It can be a lot of fun though! This clay mask I've been using has both kaolin and bentonite clays. While there aren't a lot of data on these ingredients, kaolin has been shown to somewhat improve acne, and bentonite to calm inflammation in the skin. I had a mini breakout last week and while this mask did not work wonders, I think it may have helped with some of the inflammation I was experiencing.
.

Do you use clay masks as part of your skincare routine? What have your results been like?

Happy Monday! I know I’ve been pretty quiet via

Happy Monday! I know I’ve been pretty quiet via this channel lately, so I decided to share my current night routine with you all. While I’ve been keeping it simple, I have been trying to prevent androgenic hair loss using a microneedle roller and minoxidil 5% solution.
.
.
💉 At-home microneedle devices have shown some promise when it comes to increasing product absorption in in vitro studies. They can also increase trans-epidermal water loss, so I only use mine 2-3 times per week!
.
.
💇🏻‍♂️ Topical minoxidil is one of the best tools for treating and preventing androgenic alopecia. I use minoxidil solution preventatively 3 times per week. .
.
🤳For more info on androgenic alopecia, check out my article: “‘Male Pattern Hair Loss’ Doesn’t Just Affect Men and It’s Treatable”. Link in bio!

We all know that #retinoids are #antiaging powerho

We all know that #retinoids are #antiaging powerhouses, but they can be hard to start. My gorgeous friend Jackie, pictured here, just started a new retinoid this week and is having the classic signs of retinization including some dry skin and redness. Here are some tips for starting a topical retinoid: .
👏 Stick with it! Many of the signs of retinization will fade after the first week or two of use. .
💧 Moisturize! Use of a moisturizer before a retinoid decreases irritation without sacrificing efficacy. .
🚶‍♂️ Start slow! Work your way up from three times per week to every night. .
☀️ Don’t forget your SPF! Retinoids can make your skin more sensitive to the sun so make sure you’re using your best sun protection practices. .
💁🏻‍♂️ For more on retinoids check out my article “Topical Retinoids: What You Need to Know”. Link in bio!

It’s Dermangelo on Capitol Hill! I got to take part in a productive meeting with my #dermatologist colleagues and the staff of #DC Rep. Holmes-Norton today. Access to care, #skincancer prevention and #sunscreen were all on the agenda. This was a wonderful opportunity to represent #dermatology and advocate for our patients!

I had a wonderful weekend at the beach with my @jujuinla and guess what: I left with no trace of a burn and no tan. My secret? Applying sunscreen every two hours, toting a UPF 50+ umbrella to the beach and using protective clothing like hats and sunglasses. Now I get to make smug #skincarememes like this!
