    Glow From Within: How Food Impacts Our Skin Health

    What we put into our bodies can have a profound impact on our skin’s appearance and overall well-being. This article will explore the connection between nutrition and our skin. If you’re struggling with skin ailments such as acne, rosacea, or eczema, the food you are eating could be contributing to the issue.  In addition to using proper face washes and serums, you might want to consider reevaluating your kitchen pantry.   The food that we eat can have an impact on our skin health and appearance. A study published in the Journal of American Academy of Dermatology found that “increasing your dietary intake of fruits and vegetables for just six weeks resulted in a noticeable improvement of skin tone, brightness, and overall attractiveness.”  Another study published in The Journal of Investigative Dermatology reported “regular consumption of Omega-3-fatty acids was linked to a reduction in skin inflammation and improved the skin barrier function.” This highlights the impact that a healthy diet rich in nutrients can have on enhancing the appearance and health of the skin.

    Foods that are beneficial to our skin health and wellness include, but are not limited to:

    • Carrots and sweet potatoes–Vitamin A–helps regulate skin cell turnover and repair
    • Citrus fruits and bell peppers–Vitamin C–promotes collagen production and fights oxidative stress
    • Salmon and sardines–Vitamin D–supports your immune system and fights inflammation
    • Sunflower seeds, spinach and broccoli–Vitamin E–protects against free radicals and supports skin barrier function
    • Lentils and seafood (tuna and shrimp)–Zinc and Selenium– help maintain skin integrity and reduce inflammation
    • Avocados—antioxidants and the healthy fat content aid in keeping skin moisturized
    • Proteins in lean meats are beneficial for building collagen and elastin production

    Lastly, we can’t forget about hydration. Proper hydration and adequate water intake are crucial for maintaining a healthy body and healthy skin.

    When it comes to your skin health, proper nutrition is key. While nutrition and diet can play a huge role in skin health, they are not the sole factors. Other factors include things like genetics, lifestyle habits, skin care routine, and environmental factors. Healthy skin leads to beautiful skin!

  • Summer Skin Concerns: What You Need to Know-From a Board-Certified Dermatologist

    Summer Skin Concerns: What You Need to Know-From a Board-Certified Dermatologist

    By Dr. Jessica Clark, Board-Certified Dermatologist Beach Dermatology Skin Wellness Clinic

    As the temperatures rise and we spend more time outdoors, summer brings a unique set of challenges for our skin. While sunshine, beach days, and fresh produce are hallmarks of the season, they can also contribute to a variety of skin issues—some of which may surprise you.

    1. Sunburn and UV Damage

    Sunburn is the most immediate and visible sign of UV damage. Even a single sunburn increases your risk of developing skin cancer, including melanoma. UV radiation not only causes redness and pain but also accelerates premature aging, including wrinkles, dark spots, and loss of elasticity.

    Tips:

    • Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher. Dr. Clark recommends products with zinc oxide. Not only does zinc provide the best coverage, it is also the best ingredient for sensitive skin or those concerned about chemical exposure! Now zinc comes sheer and tinted and it is actually cosmetically elegant, doesn’t feel greasy, and can actually replace your makeup if you choose a tinted variety.
    • Reapply every 90 minutes, or after swimming or sweating.
    • Wear sun-protective clothing, hats, and sunglasses.
    • Seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when the sun is strongest.

    2. Heat Rash (Miliaria)

    Also known as “prickly heat,” heat rash occurs when sweat ducts become blocked, trapping perspiration under the skin. It commonly appears as tiny red bumps and causes itching or a stinging sensation.

    Tips:

    • Stay cool and avoid excessive sweating.
    • Wear lightweight, breathable fabrics like cotton.
    • Shower after sweating and keep your skin dry.

    3. Acne Flare-Ups

    Summer humidity and increased sweating can lead to clogged pores, especially in individuals prone to acne. Sunscreen—if not chosen carefully—can also exacerbate breakouts.

    Tips:

    • Use non-comedogenic (won’t clog pores) sunscreens and skincare products.
    • Wash your face twice a day, especially after sweating.
    • Consider using salicylic acid or retinoid products if breakouts worsen. Many people require prescriptions if over-the-counter products are not effective.
    • Over-the-counter facial cleansing wipes can be helpful for teenagers who play sports and cannot rinse off quickly.

    4. Melasma and Hyperpigmentation

    Sun exposure can trigger melasma—brown patches commonly appearing on the face—and worsen existing dark spots, especially in individuals with darker skin tones.

    Tips:

    • In addition to sunscreen, use wide-brimmed hats and sunglasses.
    • Consider using a topical antioxidant like vitamin C to help prevent pigmentation.
    • Be careful with hormonal therapy. Oral birth control pills, hormone replacement therapy, and topical hormones can significantly exacerbate melasma.
    • Consult a dermatologist for tailored treatments, such as prescription creams, chemical peels, microneedling, and laser.

    5. Phytophotodermatitis: The “Margarita Burn”

    Phytophotodermatitis is a lesser-known but increasingly common summer skin reaction caused by a combination of plant chemicals and sun exposure. Common culprits include lime, lemon, celery, parsley, and figs. When these plant-based photosensitizers come into contact with your skin and are then exposed to sunlight, a toxic reaction occurs, leading to blistering, redness, and hyperpigmentation.

    It’s often dubbed the “margarita burn” because squeezing limes into drinks while outdoors is a frequent trigger.

    Signs and Symptoms:

    • Redness and burning sensation within 24 hours of sun exposure.
    • Blistering that resembles a chemical burn.
    • Irregular dark brown or gray patches that can last for weeks or months.

    Tips:

    • Rinse your skin thoroughly after handling citrus fruits or other photosensitizing plants.
    • Avoid sun exposure immediately afterward.
    • If you develop a rash or blisters, apply cool compresses and topical corticosteroids. Seek medical attention if severe.

    6. Bug Bites and Contact Dermatitis

    Mosquitoes, ticks, and stinging insects are more prevalent in summer. Additionally, outdoor activities increase the risk of coming into contact with irritants like poison ivy or oak.

    Tips:

    • Use insect repellent containing DEET or picaridin. Picaridin seems to be more effective in the panhandle.
    • Wear long sleeves and pants when hiking or camping.
    • Learn to recognize poisonous plants and avoid them.
    • Treat bites and rashes with antihistamines or corticosteroid creams.
    • “The bug bite thing” actually helps the intense swelling and inflammation from a yellow fly bite. Google it;)
    • Puracyn is a spray you can buy on Amazon that is good to cool off bug bites before applying a steroid cream.
    • Your dermatologist can give you a steroid shot or prescribe oral prednisone if you experience a severe reaction.

    Final Thoughts

    While summer offers countless opportunities to enjoy the outdoors, it’s essential to stay proactive about skin protection. If you experience any persistent or unusual skin symptoms, consult your dermatologist for personalized guidance.

    We would love to personally invite you to Beach Dermatology Skin Wellness Clinic’s Grand Opening on Thursday, June 12, from 4:30-6:30 p.m. Please join us for the ribbon cutting on the ground floor of the Cadence Bank building with the Panama City Beach Chamber!!

  • From Kindergarten to Commencement: Celebrating Our Beach Schools

    From Kindergarten to Commencement: Celebrating Our Beach Schools

    A Message from Superintendent Mark McQueen

    As the school year ends and summer begins, it’s the perfect time to celebrate the accomplishments of our Panama City Beach schools. Last month, we highlighted the Class of 2025 from J.R. Arnold High School, and this month, we turn our spotlight to the amazing elementary and middle school teams laying the foundation for tomorrow’s leaders.

    1. Gary Walsingham Academy continues to prioritize academic growth and student empowerment. Programs like the student-led ITV show “Wake Up Wahoos,” Safety Patrol, and monthly pep rallies encouraged students to take active roles in school culture. Principal Amy Harvey believes that these experiences helped students grow in confidence and leadership, contributing to a collaborative environment.

    Breakfast Point Academy expanded on its “A” rating with success in athletics and the arts. In the inaugural season of middle school cross-country, the Breakfast Point Running Lady Rays made history as the first team to win the county championship. The Stingray Band earned recognition locally and statewide, showcasing the school’s commitment to excellence in the arts. Additionally, the school hosted a Patriot Day ceremony, teaching students about September 11th through presentations from local firefighters and law enforcement.

    Hutchison Beach Leader In Me Event

    Hutchison Beach Elementary sustained its “A” rating with a continued emphasis on leadership and growth. Under the visionary leadership of Principal Glenda Nouskhajian, the school was named a “Legacy School” by the Leader in Me program, an honor shared by only 21 schools worldwide. This prestigious recognition highlights Hutchison Beach’s commitment to developing well-rounded students equipped withthe life skills needed to lead and succeed. Throughout the year, students engaged in leadership roles across campus, participating in initiatives like student-led assemblies, community service projects, and mentorship programs.

    Patronis Elementary continued its tradition of excellence, earning another “A” rating in 2023-2024 and building on that success throughout this past year. In January 2025, Eduardo Anastacio, a bilingual paraprofessional at Patronis, was recognized as one of Florida’s Top 5 Support Employees of the Year. His dedication to supporting students, particularly English learners, reflects the school’s commitment to providing resources for every student’s success.

    Surfside Middle School, led by Principal Matt Pitts, celebrated a vibrant 2024–2025 year with its inaugural Multicultural Welcome Home for the Holidays event. This festive evening brought the Surfside community together to experience music, dance, and cuisine from various cultures, fostering unity and appreciation for the school’s wonderfully diverse population.

    West Bay Elementary School and Principal Deniece Moss built on its commitment to character development and community engagement during the 2024–2025 school year. The “House System” continued to promote core values like Courage, Harmony, Empathy, and Kindness. In April, the school celebrated Public School Volunteer Week by recognizing over 60 dedicated volunteers, many of whom serve as mentors through the Elevate Bay program.

    Patronis Students

    The accomplishments of our beach schools reflect the strength and spirit of our community. These achievements are not just milestones; they are stepping stones toward future success. Our dedicated teachers, supportive families, and resilient students work hand in hand to create environments where learning thrives and character is built. Whether it’s through academic excellence, athletic victories, artistic expression, or community service, our beach schools continue to excel in educational achievement in Bay County.

    As we celebrate another successful year and continue working to put the “A” back in Bay, we thank our students, families, teachers, and staff for their dedication.  We look forward to the continued growth of our beach schools and wish everyone a safe and restful summer.

  • West Bay Elementary: A Small School with a Big Heart

    West Bay Elementary: A Small School with a Big Heart

    By Deniece Moss, Principal

    This year marks a special milestone for West Bay Elementary—our 10th year since reopening, and what a decade it’s been! From humble beginnings to a thriving hub of academic excellence and community spirit, West Bay has stayed true to its motto: “A Small School with a Big Heart.” Over the past ten years, we’ve celebrated tremendous growth while holding tightly to our close-knit, family-first atmosphere.

    One of the most exciting highlights this school year was the addition of a brand-new 8-classroom building, expanding our capacity and enriching the learning environment for our growing student body. This expansion not only reflects the trust families place in West Bay, but also our shared commitment to providing scholars with the space and resources they deserve.

    West Bay is proud of its strong partnership with the local community, and nowhere was that more evident than at this year’s Field Day. The event was packed with fun, laughter, and a sea of smiling faces—many of them belonging to our cherished volunteers from the Latitudes community. These incredible retirees helped run games, cheer on scholars, and bring energy to every corner of campus. Many of them also serve regularly at our book fairs and special events, proving that the heart of West Bay beats stronger thanks to its volunteers.

    This spring also brought one of our favorite traditions—Kindergarten Signing Day! Our incoming kindergarten scholars were welcomed like celebrities as they signed their “commitments” to West Bay. With cheers, photos, and tiny t-shirts, this day celebrated the beginning of a bright educational journey and reminded us all of the joy that comes with new beginnings.

    Another meaningful moment this year came when our fifth-grade girls visited Haney Technical Center, where they were pampered by Haney students studying cosmetology. From nails and facials to positive conversations about future careers, this special field trip was a wonderful example of how our community lifts up learners of all ages. They were also given the opportunity to visit the aviation program.   It was a memory our fifth graders won’t soon forget!

    In April, West Bay proudly celebrated Purple Up Day, honoring the strength and resilience of our military children. Scholars and staff wore purple in solidarity, recognizing the unique sacrifices these families make and the important role they play in our school community. It was a powerful reminder of the love, support, and gratitude we share for those who serve.

    We are always looking to grow our West Bay family, and there are plenty of ways to get involved! Whether you’re interested in mentoring through Elevate Bay, volunteering for school events, or stepping into a classroom as a substitute teacher, your time and talents are welcomed and appreciated. Substitutes play a vital role in maintaining consistency in learning, and we’d love to see more community members consider this rewarding opportunity.

    A heartfelt thank you to everyone who helped celebrate our amazing teachers during Teacher Appreciation Week (May 5–9). From sweet notes and surprises to sponsored breakfasts, lunches and kind gestures, the outpouring of support reminded our team just how valued they are. Your appreciation fuels our mission and strengthens our school culture.

    West Bay Elementary is more than just a place where scholars come to learn—it’s a place where they are known, supported, and encouraged to shine. Here’s to a decade of growth, and to the next ten years of possibility.

    To learn how you can get involved—as a volunteer, mentor, or substitute—visit westbay.bay.k12.fl.us or the Bay District Schools careers page.

    Together, we’re building something special… West Bay Elementary… Every kid by name and need!
