SKIN IS IN By Dr. Tina Alster To Benefit Sturge-Weber Foundation

Candid of Dr. Alster and I at the SKIN IS IN Launch Party

In addition to owning and operating Miss A, I joined the Washington Institute of Dermatologic Laser Surgery as their Marketing & Media Relations Director six months ago. I have helped them with their website and social media, but have mainly been focused on the packaging, branding and launch of world-renowned dermatologist, Dr. Tina Alster’s new skin care product line, SKIN IS IN™. Miss A is where “Charity Meets Style,” so it is no surprise that I am thrilled and honored to work for Dr. Alster who truly embodies the Miss A tagline. There are those who think that if you are beautiful, blonde or into fashion, that you must not be that bright or “academic”. What I admire about Dr. Alster is that she genuinely has it all, and proves all those folks wrong! She has style AND substance.

Even better, she has a big heart! She is known as the “Queen of Laser” for leading the industry in the use of lasers. One area of laser treatment that she has pioneered is that of using lasers to treat port-wine stains and other birthmarks. People travel from far and wide to have their children or themselves treated by Dr. Alster. She has been very active with the Sturge-Weber Foundation, which is the only nonprofit organization dedicated to finding a cure and improving treatment for port-wine stains, Sturge-Weber syndrome, and Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome. Dr. Alster is generously donating a percentage of revenue from sales of SKIN IS IN to support the Sturge-Weber Foundation.

Having served as the consulting dermatologist to Lancôme, Clarisonic, and numerous cosmetic and laser companies, Dr. Alster has influenced new product development and industry direction. This combination of extensive clinical and research experience along with over two decades in dermatologic practice make her uniquely qualified to customize skin care regimens for a wide range of ages and skin types. This exciting new skin care line combines advanced formulas with Dr. Alster’s extensive industry expertise to provide all ages and skin types with a comprehensive skin care regimen you can believe in. After 20 years of cherry-picking skin care products and prescribing skin care regimen for Washington, DC’s power elite and their families, Dr. Alster cuts through the hype and delivers her customized skin care plan in easy-to-use 60-day kits for every child, teen, woman and man.

In this current economy in particular, I really love the fact that SKIN IS IN™ products are made right here in the USA from the highest quality ingredients available on the market and without all the things you don’t need — animal-testing, fragrances, dyes, parabens, petrochemicals, and comedogenic and allergy-causing irritants. SKIN IS IN™ by Dr. Tina Alster gives skin nothing more than what it needs and nothing less than it deserves.

I know my readers appreciate my candor, and trust my recommendations. I hope that you will support Dr. Alster, the Sturge-Weber Foundation and me by trying these products. There is more information about SKIN IS IN online, but what I love is that there is finally a skincare regimen for kids! It’s important to get children in the habit of washing their face and wearing a daily sunscreen. Since 80% of a person’s lifetime sun exposure happens by age 18, it’s critical that children learn good skin care habits early and wear SPF daily. In addition to cumulative skin damage, one blistering sunburn in childhood or adolescence more than doubles a person’s chances of developing melanoma later in life. So be sure to use a golf ball size of sunscreen on your kids at the beach or pool, and reapplying is key! The kit for teens is great because it doesn’t have all the harsh high percentages of benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid that drys out teenage skin causing the sebaceous glands to produce more oil — creating a vicious cycle.
