We are proud to support @coolibar in their efforts to raise money for the Melanoma Research Foundation. The 'Be Brave' campaign started with a young girl whose 10 year old brother was diagnosed with melanoma. She told him to 'Be Brave.' • The 'Be Brave' shirts honor all of the brave people who have been diagnosed with melanoma; 100% of the profit from the sale of these shirts benefits @curemelanoma. • The shirts are UPF 50+ thanks to ZnO SUNTECT® (zinc oxide protection.) They can be purchased in toddler, kids, female and male sizing on the Coolibar website. • We've been wearing ours nonstop, because in addition to benefiting an important cause and protecting our skin, they are SO comfortable and the fit is perfect. Head to Coolibar to order your own!

Working with your sister is 👌🏻🙌🏻👍🏻! We were recently interviewed on @howtobearedhead podcast and they asked what it was like to work with our sister. It got us thinking about how lucky we are to be able to work together at @zelskin {we even share a desk!} and to share @theskinsisters with all of you! • • • #theskinsisters #realsisters #bigsister #familytime #familygoals #dermpa #botox #edina #edinamn #dermatology #appointment #loveyourskin #beautybloggers #familyblog #midwestfamily #mnfamily #sistersister #sisterblog #redhead #shesmysister #beautytalk #mnblogger #theresheis #productjunkie #skincareroutine #liveyourbestlife

You ask us all the time... what is the best way to prevent chapped lips? • While this might be more problematic during the dry winter months, it’s good to follow a few basic steps to ensure soft, smooth lips all year round. • We recommend very gently buffing the lips a few times a week with a soft bristle toothbrush and then applying a layer of moisturizing product. • Our runaway favorite lip product recently is the hyaluronic acid lip serum from @pcaskin. It is so hydrating and seriously left our lips smoother than ever - and even a little bit plumper. It has been part of nightly routine ever since we received it! • This product was generously sent to us, but our opinion (and obsession 🤣) is genuine and uniquely ours. • • • #theskinsisters #liptreatment #drylips #pcaskin #pcaskincare #lipproduct #hyaluronicacid #newproducts #skincarejunkie #softlips #fulllips #lipfiller #lipproducts #herlips #loveyourlips #lipstick #liphydration #nightlyroutine #beautytalk #instaskincare #mnbloggers #beautybloggers

#ad Have you tried the new @SecretDeodorant #AluminumFree deodorants yet? We’ve been loving the lightweight, silicone-based formula. It’s free of dyes and parabens, which makes it a good option for our patients with sensitive skin. Plus it goes on 100% clear and dry... meaning no annoying white marks on our clothing. Use the link in our bio if you’re interested in trying it out for yourself! We recommend the Daylily scent - so light and perfect for spring!

You guys are loving info about facial mists! • We have been trying several different rosehip oil-based facial mists. Each a little different, each smelling beautiful and feeling refreshing on our skin. • So what’s the deal with rosehip oil? Unprocessed rosehip oil contains small amounts of vitamins A and C - just enough to provide the skin with brightening benefits! Rosehip oil also contains other antioxidants and fatty acids to calm and moisturize. • And let’s not forget the aromatherapy benefits of such a sweet smelling ingredient! • Have you used and loved any rosehip oil skincare? • • • #theskinsisters #rosehipoil #rosehip #facialmist #hydratingmist #hydration #skinhydration #glowingskin #healthyskin #antioxidants #glowtime #beautytrends #beautybloggers #imlovingit #inmypurse #onmydesk #pickmeup #daybrightener #edina #minneapolis #minnesotagirl #sisters #loveyourskin

So much love here ❤️ Wishing a Happy Mother’s Day to our mom, grandma, sister, mother-in-laws, the mom friends we lean on, and all of you incredible mothers out there!

There is BIG NEWS in the world of sunscreen - just in time for summer! A study was published in JAMA showing that some of the active ingredients used in chemical sunscreens can be found in the bloodstream after a day of use. • Most importantly, what does this mean? Good question! The study’s conclusion stated that more research was necessary to determine the significance of these findings. It also suggested that different sunscreen formulations (sprays, creams, lotions) have different systemic absorption rates. It did NOT recommend that anyone refrain from using sunscreen. • In months and years to come, we will have more information on the significance of this study. We will know more about whether or not the systemic presence of these ingredients is cause for concern or if the generous application of SPF in this small study is relevant in daily real-life application. • In the meantime, we will continue to use sunscreen made with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide - these are known as ‘physical blockers’ because they physically prevent the sun from getting to your skin. These ingredients have been approved through the FDA’s GRASE designation for safe and effective sunscreens. Physical (aka mineral) sunscreens work best, so we’ve been using these anyhow. Gone are the days when these formulations were thick and white - brands like @eltamdskincare @neutrogena and @revisionskincare make very nice, lightweight physical sunscreen formulations. • We will also continue safe sun practices, like wearing a hat and sun protective clothing - and seeking shade when reasonable. For the kiddos, we will continue to encourage them to wear sun protective swimwear and playwear. We will also continue to apply zinc oxide and titanium dioxide formulations to protect their skin from the sun. @allgoodbrand makes some of our favorite SPF formulations for the kids. • We hope that this information helps you to navigate one of the biggest health & wellness stories in the news right now. On The Skin Sisters website, we’ve also posted the link to the original JAMA article and the accompanying editorial, if you are interested in learning more!

Today is Melanoma Monday. This day rings close to home for us, because we have both diagnosed many melanomas throughout our careers. Some in patients as young as their early twenties. • Melanoma is no joke. It can kill you. • Our wish for this #MelanomaMonday is that everyone who sees this post takes the opportunity to have a skin check. It’s never too early or too late to have a professional survey your skin, so that every mole, freckle, dot and spot can be checked. • If you are in the Twin Cities, we are offering free skin checks for Skin Cancer Awareness Month at our Edina office on Thursday May 9 from 5-7p. Call 952-929-8888 to schedule.

✨Happy birthday to one half of @theskinsisters! Lauren’s celebrating today with family, friends, tennis - and some self care!🤩

May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month! Diagnosing & treating skin cancers is one of the biggest parts of our job, and something that we love doing everyday. • Here are some of our best tips for keeping your skin safe this month and always: • 1. Wear sunscreen! The majority of all skin cancers are caused by UV exposure (including sun lamps and tanning beds.) • 2. Schedule a yearly total skin exam with your dermatology provider. These exams take just a few minutes and they are the #1 best way to screen for skin cancers or pre-cancers. • 3. Look at your own skin! We always tell our patients, ‘nobody knows your skin as well as you do’. By taking a glance at your skin on a regular basis, you stay aware of what’s new and changing. • 4. Just like at the airport, if you see something, say something! If you notice something that doesn’t look or feel right, make an appointment! If it’s nothing to worry about, all you’ve done is spend a few minutes with your dermatology provider. If it’s a cancer, catching it early is a major indicator for successful treatment. • If you’re local, call @zelskin Edina to set up an appointment for a screening with Lauren or Brooke. If you’re elsewhere, consider this your reminder to call and schedule a visit with your dermatology provider! • • • #theskinsisters #skincancerawareness #melanomamonday #skincancer #skincheck #dermatology #dermpa #healthyskin #mpls #loveyourskin #safesun #safeskincare #healthylifestyle #selfcare #yearlyvisit #skincareexpert #edina #melanoma #basalcellcarcinoma #squamouscellcarcinoma #moles #sunspots #sisters #beautybloggers #healthblogger #healthyme #edinamn #sunscreen #tanningbed

12 weeks have flown by and Brooke is headed back to work tomorrow after maternity leave! • What’s your secret tip for getting out the door in the morning? What was the best part of going back to work for you? Any suggestions for things not to forget? Leave your advice and encouragement in the comments below!

Have you been thinking about swapping out your moisturizer? Spring is a great time for a fresh start - and a time when most of us can transition to a lighter formulation. We’ve been loving these lightweight, but very hydrating moisturizers! Hopefully if we change to our spring skincare regimen, the spring weather will follow! 🤞🏻

Are you looking for #aluminumfree deodorant? Many of you are (based on the DMs we’ve been receiving!), so we’re happy to report back that we loved this @secretdeodorant option. The formula is super gentle, plus it’s dye free and silicone based - it goes on super clear and light, without leaving annoying white residue on our shirts! • It’s a gentle formulation, meaning that it’s not for your double HIIT class mornings, but it’s perfect for relaxed days when you’re looking for an aluminum free, lightweight deodorant option. • • • #theskinsisters #secretdeodorant #aluminumfree #deodorant #newproducts #producttesting #relaxing #hiitclass #smellgood #springproducts #skincareexpert #dermpa #skincare #loveyourskin #springstyle #discoverunder10k #beautybloggers #mnbloggers #newskincare #dailyroutine

Brooke’s daughter, Zoe, is already 12 weeks old! Time flies! • She is super cuddly, loves looking around and has started smiling & cooing. She’s absolutely adorable! • Zoe has a pretty basic, but consistent, skincare ‘routine.’ 😉 We’ve been using @noodleandboollc Shampoo and Body Wash during bath time, which is every other or every two days. • After the bath, she gets slathered in @cerave Healing Ointment. Studies show that using an emollient barrier cream early in life helps to decrease the risk for eczema. We also love this ointment for little dry spots. When Zoe first came home, in the middle of the dry wintertime, her tiny ankles had cracked skin. After one night of using the ointment, they were smooth as can be! • • • #theskinsisters #babytalk #newmom #babyskincare #babyskin #babybath #babyproducts #newmomgift #babyshower #babies #mamas #4thtrimester #newbaby #mybabygirl #babyroutine #mnbaby #babyphotography #mnfamily #edina #minneapolis #minnesotafamily #minnesotababy #skincareexpert #skinexpert #dermpa #dryskin #babygifts #babylove
