Your guide to dermatologist-led skin care
At Clear Skin Dermatology, with offices in Newmarket and Toronto, Ontario, our team loves helping patients feel confident in their skin! Here are some of the most common questions we hear in our clinic with our dermatologist-approved answers:
How often should I wash my face?
We recommend washing the face twice each day. Wash your face once in the morning to remove oil and sweat, and again at night to cleanse away the dirt, makeup, and environmental debris from the day. Just don’t overdo it. Harsh scrubbing irritates your skin, so gentle is key!
Do I really need sunscreen if it’s cloudy?
Absolutely! UV rays can penetrate clouds and even glass, so using sunscreen every day is non-negotiable. Look for a broad-spectrum SPF of at least 30 to keep your skin protected year-round.
What’s the best way to deal with acne?
Acne can happen at any age, and there is no one-size-fits-all solution. Start with a consistent skin care routine, including a gentle cleanser and non-comedogenic moisturizer. For stubborn cases, the team at Clear Skin Dermatology can take the time to fabricate a treatment plan just for you, which might include prescription options or in-office treatments.
How can I reduce wrinkles without surgery?
Treatments like Botox, dermal fillers, and laser resurfacing work wonders for smoothing fine lines and wrinkles. We offer these non-surgical options at our practice to help you turn back the clock while keeping things natural-looking.
Is it normal to have sensitive skin?
You bet! Sensitive skin is pretty common, but understanding your triggers, like certain products, weather changes, or stress, is key to managing it. Stick with gentle, fragrance-free skin care products, and do not hesitate to ask us for personalized recommendations that fit your needs.

How can I get rid of dark spots?
Dark spots, or hyperpigmentation, have many causes, including sun exposure, hormonal changes, or acne scars, to name a few. Brightening products with ingredients like vitamin C or retinol can be helpful, but for more pronounced spots, professional treatments like chemical peels or laser therapy might be the way to go. We are happy to help you find the right fit.
What’s the deal with exfoliation? How often should I do it?
Exfoliation helps to remove dead skin cells and leaves your skin glowing, but too much can irritate. Try for 1 – 2 times a week and choose a method, like a gentle scrub or a chemical exfoliant, that suits your skin type. When in doubt, we can guide you to the best option for your needs.
Do I really need a dermatologist for my skin concerns?
Absolutely! Whether you’re dealing with a serious condition like eczema or just want clearer, brighter skin, dermatologists like ours bring expert knowledge and tools to the table. Visiting Clear Skin Dermatology means you are getting advice tailored to your skin, based on science.
