Study Emphasizes Sun Protection over Water Consumption for Beautiful Skin
We’ve all heard that drinking 8 glasses of water a day keeps your skin glowing and dewy. However, a recent investigation by the British Nutrition Foundation found that protecting your skin from the sun along with maintaining a healthy diet is much more important in achieving a healthy complexion and fighting the signs of aging.
While drinking water is important as part of adequate nutrition, forcing down 8 glasses a day to keep your skin hydrated may not be necessary. According to the BNF, “There currently appears to be very little scientific evidence relating to the effects of water consumption on skin hydration, and whether drinking more or less water actually has any impact on skin appearance.” Instead, eating a healthy range of fruits and vegetables that contain vitamins A, B, C, and E and wearing a broad-spectrum sunscreen every day are better actions to prevent wrinkles and fine lines.
Unprotected sun exposure is a proven cause of skin cancer as well as wrinkles and hyperpigmentation. This is one reason that legislation in California was recently passed that banned teens under 18 from tanning salons even if they had their parents’ permission. Sun exposure breaks down the support structures in the skin speeding up the aging process and producing fine lines and sunspots.
While it’s still important to regularly drink water, Dermatology Associates of Atlanta encourages our patients to take further measures to ensure the health of their skin and postpone the signs of aging from appearing.

Restylane® Approved by FDA for Lip Enhancement
Restylane®, a popular facial filler, was recently FDA approved for lip enhancement in patients over 21. Most often used to help reduce the deep lines around the mouth called nasolabial folds or marionette lines, the injectable works by plumping up areas of the face that have lost volume from aging and decreased collagen production or those areas that have developed wrinkles from repeated facial expressions.
A study in which 135 patients received lip enhancement with Restylane® evaluated the safety and effectiveness of the filler for use in lips. In this study, 92% of patients responded well to Restylane® as a lip enhancer. After researching and evaluating the results of the study, the FDA’s panel voted 6-0 for the approval of Restylane® for lips.
Made from hyaluronic acid, Restylane® is a gel that adds fullness to smooth wrinkles and folds. However, the same compound works perfectly to help plump lips that may be thinning or need an extra boost to meet your expectations. If you’re looking for a non-surgical way to enhance and plump your pucker, Restylane® is now FDA approved for this treatment.
