    Counseling on consistency and patience is often wh Counseling on consistency and patience is often what I find I need to spend the most time on. Sometimes I get a call a few days or a week later that “there’s no change” even after we’ve had this conversation. I get it, skin issues are FRUSTRATING. But unfortunately I don’t have a magic wand or a magic cream for that matter. It takes consistency and patience with any regimen to see results! Hang in there. It’s worth it! . . . . . #skincarememes #skincarequotes #dermpa #selfcarequotes #instaskincare #skinfluencer #skincarediary #skinstagram #aesthetician #beautymemes #igtopshelfie #skinstagram #skincareblog #skingoals #selfcaresunday #skincareobsessed #skincareaddict
    I grew up a sun bum. My parents have always loved I grew up a sun bum. My parents have always loved the water. Whether it be traveling here to south Florida or spending our summers on Lake Erie in Ohio, we were always encouraged to “go out and play”. I LOVED my upbringing. The summer days were long and full of adventure. My Greek cousins and my sister and I were always TAN. like really tan. I always thought that was just my skin tone until I started taking sun protection seriously and realized, I’m actually quite pasty 😂 After becoming a PA, I went through a time where I wouldn’t leave the shade. Not at the beach, not to swim in the ocean, not to play with my nieces in the pool, I even gave up my walks which were something I loved. Now, I think I’ve found a good balance. I never leave the house without sunscreen, a hat (and an umbrella if I’ll be partaking in beach activities). But, I live in South Florida and life is short. Now I allow myself to take part in my favorite activities (with STRICT sun protective measures) and I get my tan from a bottle... (@luxunfiltered for everyone who will ask) 😂 I find this balance suits me well. I will never stop preaching about sun protection and practicing it myself. But, I want to die an old lady who has no regrets of not joining my hubby for a snorkel or not playing in the water with my (future) kids! #practicesafesun
    Educating on skin care and beauty tips is truly su Educating on skin care and beauty tips is truly such a passion of mine. I love providing you all with general steps to get your skin care and beauty routine in tip top shape! I’m often asked in my DMs about personal regimens, skin concerns and even get photos of rashes sent to me! As a licensed healthcare provider it’s truly unethical and not appropriate for me to comment on specific concerns without seeing you as a patient. So how do we make that happen?! Here are our options! 1. For skin care consults you can book a Virtual Consultation with me at @baumanncosmetic ! Here we will review your skin type based on our @skintypesolutions test, your concerns, your current regimen and the best course of action. We can also chat about any procedures that may be of benefit to you if you choose to travel to sunny Miami or I can recommend a colleague in your area! 2. If you’re in South Florida we can really have some fun! Make an appointment for a consultation at our state-of-the-art Miami practice where we will evaluate your skin under the VISIA camera system and really dig deep into your skin needs! If procedures are on your radar we can discuss these and often treat you same day. To make a virtual or in person appointment call Baumann Cosmetic & Research Institute at 305-532-5552! . . . . . #miamidermatology #miamidermclinic #miamibotox #miamilipfillers #skincareconsultant #skincareroutine #dermpa #dermatologypa #dermatologyphysicianassistant #skincareregimen #skincareregime #skineducation #skincaretips101 #skincaretipsandtricks #acne #melasma #eczema #hyperpigmentation #sunspots #wrinkles #antiagingskincare
    Weekend photo dump... Recently I’ve been making Weekend photo dump... Recently I’ve been making sure to incorporate a gratitude practice every night.... and I try to get SPECIFIC to make it a bit more meaningful... for instance i am grateful for the way the sun glimmers on the water (like in this last pic!) do you have a gratitude practice? && Lots of Qs came in regarding these gorgeous candles so I showed you a few more of my collection on my stories this am! And you can use code AMY20 for 20% off your @hotelcollection_ candles!
    I LOVE beauty. Playing with makeup is so much fun! I LOVE beauty. Playing with makeup is so much fun!! But... the canvas makes or breaks the painting. I always recommend starting with skin care first. You’ll be shocked at how much less makeup you’ll need to apply (and how much smoother it looks) when you’re on the right regimen! ALSO quality does not have to equal 💰💰! There are amazing and efficacious budget skin care products out there! . . . . . #sunscreenalways #sunscreenfirst #sunscreeneveryday #skintips #skincaretips #skincarecommunity #skincarememes #skinmemes #skincareinfluencer #skinfluencer #skinthusiast #skincareproductsthatwork #bestskincare #skinsecrets #skincaresecrets #skinstore #exclusivebeautyclub #beautyinfluencers
    I don’t mean this to wag my finger and tell you I don’t mean this to wag my finger and tell you what you can and can’t do. I mean this to truly save you thousands of dollars on products if you haven’t mastered this simple step... All the dyspigmentation and anti-aging serums in the world are useless if you’re not wearing sunscreen Every. Single. Day. Listen, I HOPE I’m lucky enough to live long enough to have a face full of wrinkles but I also want to keep my skin looking great as long as I can! If wrinkles, skin laxity and brown spots are your concerns too do yourself a favor and start using a daily SPF NOW!!! This is more beneficial than all the retinol/peptides/exfoliants/snail mucin/holy water/ moonlit sacrifices combined.

    Pores. You may have a love-hate (or even hate-hate Pores. You may have a love-hate (or even hate-hate) relationship with them. Social media has further magnified our desire to have unattainable, flawless skin. Filters smooth every inch of our faces making us look like glass dolls plus or minus a rhinoplasty 😒. Our pores are not only NORMAL, they’re vital to our skin’s health. They produce sebum to lubricate our skin and strengthen our skin’s barrier. They house our hair (both our thick, longer hairs and our little peach fuzz). They provide a portal of entry for skin care ingredients. They are absolutely essential to healthy skin. Pores don’t shrink and grow, they don’t open and close, and you cannot change the size of your pores. However, you can help them to APPEAR smaller with ingredients like chemical exfoliants and retinoids. (more on this on a few past posts). But, the purpose here is to encourage you to take a step back, put down the magnifying mirror and understand that pores are a normal part of our skin’s anatomy, not something to cover with a filter. Next time you seek to banish, remove or hide your pores, know that they are serving a vital function and keeping your skin healthy. . . . . . #pores #porestrips #retinol #skincareregimen #skincareregime #skincareroutine #acne #acnetreatment #porecleansing #skintips #dermpa #skincarepositivity #skinpositivity #skincarecommunity #skincareroutines #skinnerd #skincarejunkie #blackheads

    Saturday photo dump... is there anything better th Saturday photo dump... is there anything better than a productive Saturday? Mine certainly has been... pilates, SHOWER (you know the kind when you shave, exfoliate, scalp scrub, mask, the works). Now sitting down to finish up some blog posts (one of them on a hot new skin topic). Minus these two chewing through my MacBook cord it’s been a good morning!😒 What are you getting done this Saturday? . . . . . #candids #saturdaymorning #kittycat #lifestyleblog #skincareblogger #skinblogger #skincarecommunity
    What does it mean to be brand agnostic? I get co What does it mean to be brand agnostic? I get countless DMs asking me “which is the best brand for XYZ” and my answer is always the same: there isn’t one. There is not one single brand that will solve all of your skin care concerns most effectively. When a brand creates a line, there is generally a hero product. This is usually the anchor product and often the one which they invest in the most (clinical studies, formulation, marketing). Then, like any smart company would do, they create other products to compliment the hero product. Let me be clear, there is nothing wrong with this and I’m not saying the other products won’t work for you. However, wouldn’t you want to cherry pick the golden goose, the favorite child, the A student from each and every line? That’s exactly what I do when I create a regimen. When I choose a lightening serum for instance, I pick one of maybe 5 that are always in the back of my mind based on your skin type. The same goes for cleanser, moisturizer, SPF, retinoid etc. This way we can get the best of each brand and compile the most efficacious regimen! I tagged some of my favorite providers and accounts because I’m curious: what are your thoughts? Do you consider yourself brand agnostic? . . . . . #skincareroutine #skincarefacts #skintips #skincarebrands #skincaretips #skinfacts #dermpa #medicalgradeskincare #skincareroutines #skinroutine #skinroutines #bestskincare #bestskincareproducts #skincarecommunity #skincarebloggers #skinthusiast #skincarechart #skincaregraphic

    Shopping for skincare can be frustrating if you ha Shopping for skincare can be frustrating if you have sensitive skin #AveenoPartner A goal of mine has always been to showcase that quality skincare should be accessible regardless of your budget or skin type. You will, however, need to spend a little extra care and attention if you suffer from sensitive skin! You've seen me post about the Aveeno Calm + Restore Oat Gel Moisturizer before & now I've added the Aveeno Calm + Restore Triple Oat Serum and the Aveeno Calm + Restore Nourishing Oat Cleanser to my sensitive skin regimen. Aveeno is a brand I have trusted for myself and my patients for years. Fragrance- free, dye-free, and paraben-free, this line was designed for sensitive skin. With ingredients like oat and feverfew, I know my skin is reaping the benefits. P.S if you're an ingredient junkie like me you'll be wondering about the use of feverfew. Feverfew is a natural ingredient, long known for its soothing properties! What’s even better is that these products can be picked up at your local Target (easy to find in the Dermatologist recommended section) and even ordered for curbside pickup at some locations! Want to learn more about Aveeno’s Calm + Restore line and its star ingredients?
