A Botox brow lift can give your eyebrows a slightly higher appearance—anywhere from 1 to 3 mm in height, to be exact—without the high price tag and downtime of a surgical brow lift. However, according to Dr. Turner, the results of Botox and other neurotoxins are temporary, so retreatment every few months is needed to maintain the results.
“Glycolic-based cleansers are one of the best ways to tackle oily skin or pesky breakouts. This new-to-market option does just that without stripping or drying out your complexion. If you’re extra oily, feel free to use it every day. If your skin falls on the drier, most sensitive side (especially come winter), try alternating it with a gentle cleanser. Either way, you’ll be left with brighter, more balanced skin.” — Samantha Holender, Beauty Editor
“Vitamin C is an essential antioxidant that the body cannot produce itself,” explains Dr. Ryan Turner, an NYC-based board-certified dermatologist and co-founder of TRNR Skin. “Even if you incorporate high levels of it into your diet through vitamin C-rich foods or supplements, topical application of vitamin C is more effective for the skin.”
As Dr. Ryan Turner, a board-certified dermatologist in New York and co-founder of TRNR Skin explains, "Chin hair often appears once women hit middle age because estrogen levels decrease in perimenopause and drop off significantly in menopause. In the meantime, testosterone levels stay at similar levels." He adds that this testosterone can result in more male secondary sex characteristics, including facial hair.
Why Dr Turner highlights this cream: “In addition to retinol, this product contains 10% AHAs (alpha-hydroxy acids) to help improve skin crepiness and exfoliate away dead skin cells,” he says. The downside? It could be irritating to people with finicky skin. It also gets high marks for containing fortifying peptides that can help improve the look of skin over time. But Dr. Turner warns, that while it’s fragrance-free, “Some users have concern about the product's odor which is explained by the company to be similar to other retinol products with a high percentage of actives.”
Co-founded by board-certified, Harvard-trained dermatologist and assistant professor at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Dr. Ryan Turner, and sisters Carrie Pickett and Aimee Bailey, the brand aims to bring clinical dermatological experience, scientific background and training in biochemistry to consumers, regardless of their skin type, concern or budget.
Dr. Ryan Turner, the dermatologist behind Trnr Skincare, which launched direct-to-consumer this month with a cleanser, serum and moisturizer, also said his patients informed his brand’s development. “I was hearing from patients that they couldn’t quite find what they wanted on the market. I looked to the natural world, which I had a lot of interest in, and took my medical training and the science of botanicals, and I made my brand about the right percentages. It was a very thoughtful application,” Turner said.
