Why is it so important to take proper care of your skin?

“First and foremost for health purposes. Skin cancer can be fatal if not detected early and treated. In today’s world with all we know about healthy lifestyle, exercise and proper skincare, it is possible to look youthful and healthy as we age. While it is important to take care of the skin from the outside in, it is equally important to take care of it from the inside out. Healthy skin begins inside. A lifestyle that consists of fresh vegetable, fruits, lean protein and essential fats will only help skin to look healthier.” Dermatologist Dr. Gary Goldfaden

Is there ever a circumstance where topical skincare products takes less priority than surgical/non-surgical treatments?

“In cosmetic cases this is a personal preference. For example severe sun damage may be helped quicker with a series of lasers than just using skincare and the same goes for combating fine lines and wrinkles (topical fillers such as Hyaluronic Acid vs. Injections). Every surgical or non surgical treatment comes with consequences and risks which need to also be taken into account. However, yes there are some skin issues that need more treatment than solely skincare products.” Dermatologist Dr. Gary Goldfaden

If a woman wants to look her best forever what are your three tips for doing so?

“Exfoliate often, wear SPF everyday and hydrate the skin. From our core collection the use of Doctors Scrub a few times a week will suffice for exfoliation purposes. Try Sun Visor SPF30 for daily protection and Vital Boost for overall even skin tone and hydration.” Dermatologist Dr. Gary Goldfaden

How much is biological and how much is care when it comes to ageing?

“Everyone is going to age-we cannot stop that. However with the right type of skincare treatments and products the appearance of the signs of aging will be diminished. For example collagen and elastin start to breakdown as we age but using products that encourage collagen production, we can attain the effects and look more youthful.”Dermatologist Dr. Gary Goldfaden

Do you think skincare, non-invasive beauty treatments and surgery can work in tandem beautifully?

“Absolutely. This is a personal choice for the patient but yes it can. There is a fine line in not overdoing it but that can be accomplished with open communication with your doctor and a plan.” Dermatologist Dr. Gary Goldfaden

If there was one skin-saving rule we should follow what would you recommend?

“Wear sunscreen.” Dermatologist Dr. Gary Goldfaden

Beauty finds in Miami

_BT10123
Before the high end spas, hotels and fancy shops of Lincoln Road on Miami Beach, Brownes Trading Co. opened its doors and started a long term oasis for beauty junkies. After many years in this famed neighborhood Browne’s spilt their store and opened in two new locations. If you find yourself vacationing in Miami or you are a local, you need to check out these hidden gems. Both salons are full service offering a menu of beauty treatments from head to toe. Brownes is recognized for it’s curated selection of high-end skincare and beauty brands including yours truly! Pop in for a signature Goldfaden Glow facial or maybe just the best manicure you’ve ever had.

The Miami Beach location isn’t far from the original just a little more off the beaten path. With its bohemian vibe, eclectic furniture and homage to the late local Miami artist Purvis Young, you immediately feel at peace and just a little cooler when you step inside.

The second location opened in the heart of Miami’s hottest new growing area, the Design District. DD as its referred to by locals, is a creative neighborhood that is filling up with numerous high-end designer stores like Tom Ford, Marni and Christian Louboutin as well as art galleries and trendy chef owned restuarnats. This Brownes location is bright, airy and the best places to get a beauty treatment or buy exotic candles and makeup in the neighborhood! We couldn’t be more excited to be supporting our local friends in business and helping Miami flourish into an even more innovative city.

Summer Skin Savers: These must-have skin products will help you stay protected + glowing

We all know the basic rules of protecting our skin from the sun-use sunscreen, don’t log long hours poolside, wear a hat at high noon, but we all want to achieve that clear and sun-kissed glow as well; it’s the constant battle. With the heat cranking up to extreme levels, it’s hard to keep our skin glowing too, so we wanted to share with you all of our Summer skin picks in order to keep your skin looking clear, glowing, youthful and burn-free throughout the Summer months.

1. Sun Protection: It goes without saying that we all need to stay extra protected in the Summer months, every day, all day long. We love Goldfaden MD’s Sun Visor mist because it can be applied on top of your makeup and is super lightweight.

2. Keep your skin polished with a great exfoliator. It takes off the day’s dirt, oil and dead skin and keeps skin looking fresh and radiant.

3. Your lips need love too. We love Supergoop! AcaiFusion SPF 30 Lip Balm. The texture is so smooth, hydrating and keeps our lips protected in the hot Summer heat, added plus!

4. Face wipes: Excess heat can leave a heavy layer of sticky sweat and runny makeup on your skin. Pack these Yes to Carrots nourishing gentle cleansing wipes in your bag to give your skin a clean sweep.

5. Learn how to achieve that Sun Kissed Glow without baking in the sun for hours with the right bronzer. We love Benefits Hoola Bronzer because it adds an added sun glow to any complexion (and still looks natural!).

6. Hydrate! In addition to drinking adequate amounts of water on a daily basis (8 glasses is recommended) our skin needs a little extra help to stay quenched (in addition to moisturizer). There are so many moisturizing sprays out there so pick one that you love, we like First Aid Beauty’s Vitamin Hydrating Mist – packs an extra punch with the vitamin booster formula.
