It’s the height of summer in Florida, which means two things: heat and sun. And with the hot rays beating down, we have to be more careful than ever about protecting our skin. So how can we determine which sunscreen is best for us? Dr. Elizabeth Callahan from Sarasota’s Skinsmart Dermatology shares some tips.
The sweat-wicking products don’t have the best reputation. But physicians say they’re not harmful.
Summer is here and for many of us, that means more sweat. We turn to anti-perspirants to keep us dry, but what exactly are in these products? And are they safe to use? Dr. Elizabeth Callahan at SkinSmart Dermatology tells us more about these sweat-wicking products, and some alternatives if you are concerned about what goes into a traditional anti-perspirant.
There is an abundance of unmistakable summer sounds that signal your arrival at the beach. The thwack of a towel being snapped out onto the sand. The gleeful screams of young children chasing one another into the water, popsicles in hand. The callous cries of the seagulls you try so hard to hide your food from every time you visit.
But wait. You inhale a little. Ah, yes, it’s not just the sound of the area, but it’s also another prominent and familiar beach trait: the smell of sunscreen.
A year ago, Dr. Elizabeth Callahan froze a precancerous spot off the top of my head. "You get a lot of sun," she said with a slight frown. Well, yeah. She advised I give skin protection a little more thought. And I did, too. Well, for the most part.

I knew about melanoma, the most serious form of skin cancer, I just never thought about it. When I was young, I had been told all about the dangers of sun exposure, but I thought everyone had that same burn-first, tan-later philosophy. You went to the beach, fell asleep in the sand, turned into a tomato, then really started your vacation.

Did you know that SkinSmart Dermatology founder Dr. Elizabeth Callahan has consistently been named to the Castle Connolly Top Doctors list 7 years running? Just one of the many reasons I opted to try SkinHydration from her private label skincare line called SkinSmart Solutions. What I love best is that it’s intensely hydrating for such a super light product and, best of all, non-greasy. My next fave thing about it? The price. SkinSmart Dermatology, $27.
