Dr. Copeland supports AIDS Walk New York, taking place in Central Park tomorrow. In its 27 years, AIDS Walk New York has inspired nearly 845,000 people to walk, and millions more to donate, raising more than $122 million to combat HIV and AIDS. The funds raised at the event remain a vital lifeline that sustains GMHC’s prevention, care, and advocacy programs for the thousands of men, women, and families affected by the disease in the tri-state area. AIDS Walk New York is the largest single-day AIDS fundraising event in the world. There is still time to get involved in tomorrow’s walk, or to sponsor a walker.

Couture Clothing Designer Maggie Norris has created fashions worn by many celebrities including Michelle Obama, Nicole Kidman, Naomi Watts, and Jennifer Aniston.  She recently recognized Dr. Copeland’s products in an interview with triedandtestedbeauty.com:

Despite the documented increased use of sunscreen and protective clothing in recent years, up to 66% of young adults are still getting sunburned at least once a year.

The use of tanning beds also continues, according to the May 11 issue of the Morbidity and Mortality Report. A review of the National Health Information Survey found that up to 44% of women reported using the devices in 2010, and that those who tan indoors do so up to 28 times each year.

It’s alarming to see that young people are not getting the message about the dangers of sun exposure. Tanning beds are particularly dangerous and have been conclusively linked to skin cancer. I advise patients to wear sunscreen every day, and wear protective clothing and limit sun exposure as much as possible. Our special offer on sun care products is a good place to start.

Have you evaluated your skin care needs? Dr. Copeland’s skin care self-evaluation is the first step to identifying your skin care needs. As Dr. Copeland would ask in an office consultation –  what is your main concern? Wrinkles and fine lines? Problem breakouts? Dark circles? Dry skin? This online tool will help you find how to best address your skin care needs. And if you haven’t done it recently, take another look. Skin changes over time and your skin care regimen should change with it.

Few things age skin quite so much as the sun—every unprotected minute you spend outside is adding minutes (and more) to your apparent age. Be sure to wear protection all the time. And if you can’t stand to be without a tan, use a sunless tanner. It’s safer—and faster. Sun care products are now 25% off through May 31.

Happy Mother’s Day from Dr. Copeland Skin Care and best wishes for beautiful skin! Enjoy our special offers on gifts sets, and make sure the mothers in your life know how important they are!

A new study from the Duke University Global Health warns that 42% of Americans may end up obese by 2030 (up from 36% in 2010.) The study projects that 11% of Americans could be severely obese, roughly 100 or more pounds over a healthy weight (vs. 6% in 2010). Eating healthy and exercising are the best defenses against weight gain, which can lead to Type II diabetes and many other health issues.

Non invasive procedures like Zerona can help jumpstart a fitness/diet plan by helping to reduce inches from the waist, arms and thighs. This revolutionary method uses lasers to target fat cells and  provides results without the dangers associated with surgery, while at the same time allowing patients to remain active during treatment. Patients have lost from 3 to 9 inches after just six treatments, and have kept the inches off.

Just what the doctor ordered…

Obviously you can’t avoid the toxins that bully your skin on a daily basis. Pollution, UV light, and stress are just a few of the entities that can cause your skin to lose its natural luster and glow. Fortunately there are some power players that help combat these superfluous toxins. Antioxidants, like vitamins C and E and green tea effectively help to free the body of stressors that slow down the function of the body and cause you to feel lethargic. Just like there are super foods to help detoxify your body there are some magnificent products to detoxify and protect your skin.

Dr. Copeland’s Revitalizing Formula with vitamins C and E is an excellent source to help detoxify and clarify your skin. Revitalizing Formula gives the skin an energy boost and contains Vitamins C and E- important antioxidants—as well as kojic acid, a natural and highly effective pigment-reducing agent. In addition, it contains exfoliating acids that enhance the performance of the antioxidants.
