Look and learn what Dr. Susan Taylor Press Release:

Bright Skin
“The beginning of winter beauty blahs are not unusual,” according todermatologist, Susan C. Taylor, MD, who specializes in skin of color. “Manywomen with brown skin do not protect their skin from the sun, thinkingtheir extra melanin protects them. What often happens though is thatwithout sun protection, they end up with an uneven complexion.” Women ofcolor, including Latinas, Asians, Indians and African Americans often findthat blemishes and dark marks follow them from the summer into the fall. Tocombat this problem, women should use cleansing and moisturizing withproducts containing an alpha hydroxy acid such as glycolic acid. This helpsremove the dead skin cells that contain extra pigment. If dark spotsremain, women can try an over-the-counter hydroquinone bleaching cream(containing two percent hydroquinone) twice a day for 12 weeks or abotanical brightening cream. Dr. Taylor’s Rx for Brown Skin NaturallyFlawless Advanced Botanical Brightener uses the natural brightening effects of Bearberry, Black Tea, and Waltheria Leaf to battle brown spots.
Strong Nails
Many women choose to enhance their nails by wearing acrylic nails. Andinstead of their own nails growing stronger and longer, the nail begins todevelop white spots, become soft, weak and break easily. Especially duringwarm summer months, moisture can collect between the acrylic and actualnail, creating a ripe environment for fungal or bacterial infection. Startcaring for nails by removing the acrylic extensions and cutting nails downas far as possible. This allows nails to grow back healthy and strong. Insome cases, a doctor may also need to prescribe a medication to deal withthe infection. It’s also important to keep hands and nails wellmoisturized. Try gently massaging cream into the nail plate. After washing hands, always smooth moisturizer on to hands and nails.
Healthy Hair
While heat styling is a given for many women of color, it can beespecially damaging during colder months. Add to that drier air, chafingwoolen hats and strong winds, and hair starts screaming for a winterrescue. “In colder weather, hair is craving moisture,” says Dr. Taylor,creator of Dr. Susan Taylor’s Rx for Brown Skin, who suggests washing hairone to two times per week to keep natural moisture and oils. She recommendsthat women use a moisturizing shampoo to gently cleanse hair of dirt,always following with a rich conditioner. If hair is damaged, considerusing a deep conditioning mask once a week, using a hood dryer, which willhelp penetrate hair with conditioner through the heat. For damaged hair,try to avoid excessive heat and tugging from heat tools like blow dryers,flat irons or curling irons. Instead, wrap hair and sit under a hood dryeruntil hair is thoroughly dry. Or consider wearing hair pulled back into aneat chignon or bun for a few weeks to give hair a rest. Hair can regainstrength, volume and shine in time for the holidays.
