More Questions Answered: Beauty Tips and Questions on Skin Health, Skincare and Aging Continued

Summary: Hello and welcome. I’m Dr. Trevor Cates. This is part 2 of my question and answer session where I answer your skin health, skincare and anti-aging questions. I know it’s something a little different, but I have received so many questions on skin health, skincare and aging. Along with requests for the best beauty tips that I decided to dedicate two entire episodes to answering your questions. If your question is not answered leave a comment, join our group, or hit me up on social media and I can address your questions in future episodes.. Your Questions Answered: Question: A couple of months ago I noticed a rash on one of my eyelids and most recently noticed that the skin in the area was lighter. My dermatologist thinks is Vitiligo and ordered some blood test that I'll be getting done next month during my 6 month check up. The dermatologist also mentioned that I could have an autoimmune issue. I have had a lot of stress and also have done some wax in the affected area. Is there any information you may be able to give me about Vitiligo? Any recommendation about what I should do, etc? I'm 58 years old and generally have always been healthy. Vitiligo is an autoimmune disease We want to calm and balance the autoimmune system Digestive or gut balance microbiome issues Avoid food allergens Take antioxidants such as ALA B vitamins such as B12 and Folate Low vitamin D has been associated with vitiligo (recent study – March of this year) Get vitamin D levels tested Question: I just wanted to ask if you are considering making skincare products for the body to compliment the products you have made for the face? Thanking you, and letting you know I have received my Daily Essentials Skincare range on May 12th, so I am looking forward to using them and experiencing positive results. We are looking into this option It will be awhile before we have body products But it is interesting to know what products you want and need the most Feel free to leave feedback like this on our comments In the meantime, use the face cleanser on your body It won’t foam like a body wash, because it has mild acidity For moisturizers - use coconut, almond and jojoba oil Question: I'm 64 and still get pimples. I'm permanently on on a low carb high fat diet. Any suggestions? Reducing high carb foods such as refined grains helps balance blood sugar. Not all carbs are bad – veggies and some fruit – antioxidants (protect against oxidative damage – acne) and fiber High fat – what types? Balance is key. Also dairy fat can make it worse. Eggs I’ve seen contribute to acne – but not for everyone Diet is important but it’s not all – do you have gut issues, nutritional deficiencies, hormone imbalances? And what are you putting on your skin – don’t want to clog pores Question: Tell me more about powerful chemicals in wrinkle creams. Top ingredients to avoid are fragrance and parabens, Formaldehyde releasers - Quaternium-15, diazolidinyl urea, DMDM hydantoin, Bronopol, or imidazolidinyl urea. Check out my blog on The Spa Dr. - Are Your Skincare Products Causing a Hormone Imbalance – Are you covering your face with toxins. There are more. I will cover these more in depth in my book.
