At Med 44 Arcadia, education has always been at the center of everything we do, and recently, our founder and cosmetic nurse, Holly, had the opportunity to bring that passion back to television.
Nurse Holly was recently featured on Arizona’s Family Channel 3, where she spoke about one of the most important skincare topics for Arizona residents: sunscreen protection and skin health in the desert climate.
While Holly has done many news segments throughout her career, she shared that getting back into media appearances has reignited a passion she has always had using her knowledge and experience to help others feel more confident, informed, and empowered when it comes to their skin.
“Living in Arizona means sun protection is not optional,” Holly shared during the segment. “What you use on your skin every single day matters.”
During the interview, Holly discussed what consumers should actually look for when shopping for sunscreen, including understanding SPF levels and why higher SPF does not always mean better protection if the product is not applied correctly or consistently.
She also explained the importance of prepping the skin with antioxidants before sun exposure to help defend against environmental damage and oxidative stress especially in Arizona’s intense heat and UV conditions.
One product category Holly highlighted was antioxidant skincare, including SkinCeuticals vitamin C serums, which are designed to help support the skin against free radical damage while enhancing overall skin health and radiance.
In addition, Holly spoke about one of her favorite sunscreen options for everyday wear: Colorescience Face Shield Flex. Known for its lightweight feel, tone-adapting coverage, and mineral-based protection, it has become a favorite for patients looking for both skincare benefits and cosmetic elegance in one product.
At Med 44 Arcadia, Holly continues to focus on combining advanced aesthetic treatments with real education and personalized skincare guidance helping patients make informed decisions that support long-term skin health, prevention, and confidence.
As summer approaches and UV exposure increases across Arizona, Nurse Holly encourages everyone to prioritize daily sunscreen use, antioxidant protection, and regular skin maintenance as part of a healthy skincare routine.
