While you’re packing for your  vacation this summer, there is one important item that need not be left behind. SUNSCREEN!!!! Don’t forget to take it wherever you may travel, as it is essential in keeping your skin looking its best. Sun causes 90% of all skin cancers, and dangerous rays are still present even on cloudy days. 

Check out our collection of Elta MD products, here at Chevy Chase Facial Plastic Surgery. All of their sunscreens contain microfine transparent zinc oxide, a key ingredient in blocking both UVA and UVB rays. We carry a variety of non-comedogenic SPF shields, for all skin types. The glorious, sunny weather may not last forever, but your skin can! So give some “summer lovin” to your skin today!

Now that winter is over, spend some time on you!  Ask yourself what you would like to improve as summer arrives, and with it, the vacations, backyard barbeques and endless sun exposure.  Have you always wanted to get rid of those small little wrinkles between your brows or the crow’s feet at the corner of your eyes?  Botox!  Do you feel like your smile lines tend to show up when you’re not even smiling?  Filler!  Is your dull, uneven skin tone making you look older than your years?  Obagi!  We have some great options to get you summer-ready in no time.  And of course, don’t forget the ever-important sunscreen!  Once you receive treatment, protect the result with EltaMD sunscreens.  Never greasy and very blendable, they give you the best coverage for your skin.

Well, technically, at least.  And even though the weather might still be a little blah (come on, sunshine!), we can still start gearing up for the warm weather!  That means new warm-weather cleanser (gels over creams), lighter moisturizers, pretty, bronzed makeup (we looove our GloMinerals) and sunscreen, sunscreen, sunscreen!  And don’t forget: GloMinerals provides broad-spectrum UV protection.  While it’s not a substitute for sunscreen, it does help!
