Winter Skin Care: 5 Must-Know Pro Tips
As the seasons shift, so do the demands of our skin. We sat down with Heidi Nicol, a seasoned aesthetician at Renown Dermatology, Laser & Skin Care, to uncover the secrets of pampering your skin during the winter onset. The aftermath of summer often leaves us with dry, dull skin and unexpected breakouts. However, a few tweaks to your skincare regimen can make this seasonal transition smoother. 1. Re-evaluate Your Cleanser Now might be the opportune moment to transition to a non-drying cleanser. The one that worked wonders in the summer might be aggressive for the colder months. Nicol suggests opting for a "gentle" cleanser that effectively cleanses and exfoliates without including abrasive ingredients. 2. Amp Up the Hydration With the dip in temperature, your skin craves a richer moisturizer. Seek out products enriched with Hyaluronic Acid. This powerhouse ingredient amplifies your skin's ability to retain moisture, ensuring it stays supple throughout the day. 3. Introduce Retinol If retinol isn't a staple in your skincare arsenal yet, consider introducing it now. Its prowess in diminishing sun-induced brown spots and fine lines is unparalleled.

How the HPV Vaccine Protects Your Health
As the back-to-school season approaches, ensuring your child is ready for a successful academic year goes beyond school supplies and new clothes. It's also the perfect time to prioritize their health by ensuring they're up-to-date on essential vaccinations, including the HPV vaccine. We talked to Renown Pediatrician Dr. Kristin Wilson, to learn more about HPV and the importance of getting your child fully vaccinated. What is HPV? Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a common sexually transmitted disease. It can lead to the risk of several cancer diagnoses, with about 13 million Americans, including teens, becoming infected each year. Fortunately, a vaccine can prevent more than 90% of HPV cancers when given at the recommended ages. Talking about sexually transmitted infections can be uncomfortable, but learning how HPV is spread is important for prevention. Here's what you need to know about HPV: Transmission: HPV is spread via skin-to-skin contact. Types of HPV: Low/Medium-risk HPVs: Can cause warts and cervical dysplasia (abnormal cells on the cervix). High-risk HPVs: Can cause various cancers. HPV-related Cancers: Cervical cancer Anal cancer Vaginal cancer Vulvar cancer Penile cancer Oropharyngeal (mouth and throat) cancer Statistics: Men are four times more likely than women to suffer from HPV-associated oropharyngeal cancer. HPV is so common that nearly all sexually active people will be exposed at some point in their lifetime. Around half of HPV infections are of the high-risk variety.
