Happy Lunar New Year!!! Looking forward to celebrating the Year of the Tiger 🐯! It was 12 years ago in the Year of the White Tiger that I started my journey as a mom, so this year is full of significance in my ❤️.⁣

Tigers symbolize bravery, wisdom, and strength. They are courageous, energetic, and are willing to take risks. I am certain 2022 will be a year full of daily challenges and tests of our fortitude, endurance, and optimism. Some days I feel ready for it, and TBH some days not so much. Just glad to be on the next part of this beautiful journey with you…⁣🙌

Happy first ever National Retinol Day!!! Retinol is a synthetic derivative of Vitamin A 🥕that when applied topically to the skin gets converted to retinoic acid. It is the 🏆standard OTC anti-aging ingredient.⁣

What can a retinol do for your skin?⁣
👉 Increases cell turnover which starts to slow down in our twenties.⁣
👉 Smooths out fine lines and wrinkles while preventing new ones from forming.⁣
👉 Fades sun spots and hyperpigmentation caused by hormonal factors.⁣
👉 Minimizes congested pores and breakouts. ⁣

Because of its irritation potential, retinol newbies should try these tips:⁣
⭐️ Try a patch test on your jawline and wait 24-48 hours before applying retinol to your full face.⁣
⭐️ Choose the lowest potency available and work your way up. It’s a marathon, not a sprint!⁣ 🏃🏻‍♀️
⭐️ After cleansing at night, wait for your skin to dry completely before applying a pea- sized amount in a thin layer to your face. Avoid applying too close to your eyes, corners of your nose, and mouth. ⁣
⭐️ Apply 1-2 times a week only, and slowly add a night a week only if well- tolerated. Stop if you experience any redness, peeling, stinging.⁣
⭐️ Use a moisturizer liberally over your retinol. If you’re really sensitive, you can even apply moisturizer before and after your retinol to slow down its pe*******on. 🧴
⭐️ Amp up your daily sunscreen and sun protection routine. ⁣👒
⭐️ Discontinue your retinol 3-7 days before any facial procedures including waxing, facials, laser/ energy- based treatments. Ask your dermatologist when it’s okay to resume using it.⁣ 🗓
⭐️ Retinols must be stopped if you are trying to conceive, are pregnant, or are breastfeeding. ⁣🛑

While we can’t turn back the clock all the way to ⁣🐣hood, that won’t stop me from trying! ⁣

Sometimes it takes the curiosity and wonder of 2nd-graders to remind you of why you love your job and the importance of the work you do…⁣💙👩🏻‍⚕️

Some of my interview questions:⁣
1. What did you want to be when you were in second grade? (Doctor or fashion designer)⁣
2. How many hours do you work a week? (Does this include late-night charting?)⁣
3. What’s the best part of your job? (That I get to keep whole families healthy…grandparents, parents, and kids.)⁣
4. Are you a zookeeper? (Some confusion with my poster of animals and their natural sun protective mechanisms…🦒🐘🦛. Actually that’s kinda my job after I arrive home!)
