DR. JENNIFER SEGAL
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE AK ITEM AND WHY?
I love the Liberty Clutch. It is the perfect wardrobe staple. It transitions so elegantly from casual to evening and it holds everything!
WHAT IS YOUR SKIN CARE ROUTINE AND WHY?
I keep my routine simple and healthy. I have sensitive skin, so I use very gentle products without perfumes or dyes. Sun protection is key, so my basic routine is an anti-oxidant in the morning (Skinceuticals Phloretin is my favorite) and a hydrating sunscreen. Mild, consistent exfoliation keeps the complexion even and youthful, so at night, I usually use a gentle form of Retin-A, although for summer I am currently obsessed with the MDI Correct Wipes, which help with pigmentation and give the skin a really beautiful glow. They are AMAZING!
HOW CAN WE PROTECT OUR FACE & BODY THIS SUMMER AND OUR KIDS? WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR FAVORITE PRODUCTS?
Sun protection can be complicated, especially this time of year, and it is important to remember that there are three components to protecting our skin from the sun: sunscreen, sun protective clothing, and sun avoidance (seeking shade rather than sun). With pool, beach, and more sun exposure, the skin can also become dry and irritated during the summer, and I love the Avene Products which soothe the skin and nourish its barrier.
These are what I use on my whole family (and they actually let me):
Sunscreens: Elta MD Pure Lotion (SPF 47) and Elta MD UV Aero spray (SPF 45)
Moisturizers: Avene Trixera wash and emollient lotion (delicious!), Avene Cicalfate (perfect for sunburns and very dry skin)
WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE SKIN CARE PRODUCTS AND FASHION ITEMS FOR WOMEN?

IF WE HAVE SUN DAMAGE ALREADY ON OUR FACE AND WERE NOT WISE PREVIOUS TO MEETING YOU, WHAT CAN YOU OFFER IN HOUSE AS TREATMENTS?
All of my patients receive a personalized skin regimen to keep their skin healthy and protect it from the sun on a daily basis.
In addition, we offer a variety of rejuvenative procedures to help undo the unwanted effects of the sun such as brown spots, fine lines, and wrinkles. We tailor treatments with lasers such as Fraxel, chemical peels, and tightening devices to suit our patients' needs and schedules (as some procedures have more "down time" than others). All work beautifully to reverse the unwanted effects of the sun.
WHAT ARE YOU MOST EXCITED ABOUT THAT YOU OFFER TO CLIENTS?
As a dermatologist, I am delighted to provide a comprehensive approach to skin care, encompassing both skin health and appearance, to my patients in a personalized environment. I am also passionate about rejuvenative techniques that restore and enhance my patients' appearance in a very natural, beautiful way.
WHAT ARE YOUR 5 BEAUTY STAPLES IN YOUR BAG OR CAR?
Wide brimmed hat (I keep one in my car and one in my purse at all times)

WHAT ARE YOUR SUMMER PLANS WITH YOUR FAMILY?
We will spend time in Santa Monica (in full sun protective wear!) and San Francisco.
WHAT ARE SOME OF THE EASIEST THINGS WE CAN DO TO ENHANCE OUR BEAUTY?
Protecting our skin from the sun is the single most important thing that we can do to enhance the health and beauty of our skin.
WHO INSPIRES YOU IN YOUR WORK AND WHY DID YOU CHOOSE THIS LINE?
