   Ep #40 Showering 101: How to Clean Your Skin Without Harming It

   Showering is something we all do daily—but are we actually doing it right for our skin? In this episode, Dr. Sandy Skotnicki and Marlo Sutton break down the science of cleansing, from soap vs. body wash to water temperature, frequency, and the truth about “everything showers.” This episode is sponsored by Bioderma, a dermatology-driven brand focused on supporting the skin’s natural barrier. Listeners will learn: Why traditional soap can damage your skin barrier—and what to use instead The difference between soaps and syndets (synthetic cleansers) Whether showers or baths are better (the answer may surprise you) How often you should really be showering—and why daily is fine if done properly The impact of hot water, hard water, and long showers on skin health Why scrubbing and loofahs can do more harm than good The truth about “moisturizing body washes” and why they don’t replace creams How cleansing affects your skin microbiome (and why gentle products matter) When moisturizing is essential—and when you might not need it The takeaway? Healthy skin starts with simple habits: gentle cleansing, shorter showers, and protecting your skin barrier. Every Thursday on Skin to It, dermatologist Dr. Sandy Skotnicki and beauty enthusiast Marlo Sutton guide you through the maze of skincare, cutting through the noise to help you achieve your healthiest skin.

   Ep #39 More Than Just Flakes: Seborrheic Dermatitis, Dandruff, and the FDA-Approved Treatment Changing Everything

   Is dandruff really just dry skin? Not quite. In this episode, Dr. Sandy Skotnicki and Marlo Sutton break down the science behind seborrheic dermatitis—a common but often misunderstood inflammatory condition that causes persistent scalp and facial flaking, redness, and irritation. This episode is sponsored by Arcutis, developer of targeted dermatology therapies such as roflumilast. Listeners will learn: Why seborrheic dermatitis is more than dandruff—it’s driven by oil production, yeast (Malassezia), and inflammation What it actually looks like across different skin types Why traditional treatments like antifungal shampoos and steroids don’t always provide lasting control The emerging issue of antifungal resistance How roflumilast (a topical PDE-4 inhibitor) works differently by targeting inflammation, not just yeast What the clinical trials show, including fast results and strong long-term outcomes Why this new approach may represent a shift in how we treat chronic scalp conditions The takeaway? Seborrheic dermatitis is a chronic condition—but with newer treatments targeting inflammation, long-term control is becoming more achievable than ever.

   Ep #38 Skin Tightening 101

   Confused by all the skin-tightening devices out there? From radiofrequency to ultrasound to lasers—what really works, and how do you choose? In this episode, Marlo Sutton and Dr. Sandy Skotnicki break down the science behind non-surgical skin tightening, explaining how these technologies stimulate collagen and where each fits in a realistic treatment plan. This episode is sponsored by Merz Aesthetics, makers of Ultherapy. Listeners will learn: Why skin loses firmness over time—and the role of collagen and elastin decline How skin-tightening devices use controlled heat to stimulate collagen production The differences between radiofrequency (Thermage), ultrasound (Ultherapy, Sofwave), and infrared (Titan) Why Ultherapy is the only FDA-cleared non-invasive lifting device targeting the SMAS layer What RF microneedling can achieve for deeper tightening and skin remodelling How fractional lasers improve both texture and tightening—with more downtime Who is a good candidate (and when surgery may be more appropriate) Why results are modest, natural, and require realistic expectations The takeaway? Non-surgical skin tightening can be effective—but success depends on choosing the right treatment, provider, and expectations.
