Q What skin issues commonly impact women in professional work settings? 
A Conditions include adult acne, rosacea, eczema, melasma, and hair loss which can all be exacerbated by stress. 

Q How can these conditions best be managed? 
A Partner with a board-certified dermatologist who’ll tailor treatments to your needs while minimizing side effects like redness or peeling.  

Q How can busy women maintain a healthy skincare routine with limited time? 
A   Opt for routines with minimal steps and products with maximal benefit. Essential ingredients for healthy skin include hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, retinol and glycolic acid. 

Q How important is sun protection in preventing premature aging, and what SPF do you recommend? 
A UV rays break down collagen and elastin, leading to age spots, volume loss, hyperpigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles. Choose SPF 30-plus products that protect from blue light. 

Q How does lack of sleep impact the skin? 
A Skin repairs itself during sleep. Lack of sleep leads to changes like dull skin and dark circles or puffiness around the eyes.  

Q What role does hydration play in skin health? 
A Water is vital. Set a schedule to track intake. 

Q What inspired you to combine a career in dermatology and business? 
A My father was an accountant and my mother a nurse practitioner. Earning my MBA and medical degrees allowed me to integrate all aspects of my aspirations.
