Lincolnshire, IL – June 2010 – In honor of Skin Cancer Awareness Month, during the month of May 2010, Skinfo® Specialty Skincare Boutique, www.skinfo.com, donated 5% of sunscreen sales to the Skin Cancer Foundation. Skinfo® is joining in the fight to educate the public about skin cancer and prevent their clients from developing a potentially deadly cancer. Through continuous education about different sunscreens, application, protective sun clothing and preventative measures, skinfo® hopes that one day skin cancer levels will be decreasing throughout the world.

The Skin Cancer Foundation “is dedicated to reducing the incidence of skin cancer through a combination of research, public education and awareness.” “Since its founding in 1979, The Skin Cancer Foundation has set the standard for educating the public and the medical profession about skin cancer, its prevention by means of sun protection, the need for early detection, and prompt, effective treatment. It is the only international organization devoted solely to combating the world’s most common cancer, now occurring at epidemic levels.” (www.skincancer.org)

Skinfo® is a high end skincare boutique featuring over 400 cosmeceutical, physician and prescription strength products, mineral makeup, and waxing services. Each product has been hand-selected based on its researched efficacy and cosmetic elegance. Owned and directed by Dr. Amy Forman Taub, nationally known board-certified dermatologist and Assistant Professor at Northwestern University Medical School Department of Dermatology, skinfo® offers a unique solution for the general public to address their skin concerns. Licensed Estheticians and Cosmetologists, personally trained and supervised by Dr. Taub, provide extensive skincare consultations to develop custom regimens.

The Skinfo® Specialty Skincare Boutique opened its original location in May of 2003 within the Advanced Dermatology practice on the second floor of the City Park Complex. As a unique retail concept featuring professional skin care products not available in traditional retail outlets, skinfo® quickly became known as the premier location to receive high end skincare direct from expert professionals.

Skinfo® features an extensive collection of the most effective products for acne, rosacea, psoriasis, eczema, preventive aging, lightening, moisturizing, and pampering. Product selection is designed by skin condition and goals, rather than by brand, to assist in distinguishing which products are best identified with treating specific skin concerns. Guided by the Skin Wizard, a formula developed to customize each skincare regimen, the skincare specialists teach each client how to take care of their skin.

Skinfo® was founded initially as a website (www.skinfo.com) by Dr. Taub in 2000 who has been in private practice since 1989. Dr. Taub incorporated the Skinfo® boutique as part of her private practice, Advanced Dermatology, to provide a physical retail space to complement her website and provide greater access for her patients to purchase these high quality products. Her goal is to provide her patients with accurate information and a reliable source for professional skin care products.
