Protecting your skin from the African sun is non-negotiable! 🌞 But which sunscreen is best?

Chemical Sunscreens:
• Absorb UV rays
• Lightweight, easy to apply
• Can sometimes irritate sensitive skin

Mineral (Physical) Sunscreens:
• Reflect UV rays
• Gentle on sensitive skin
• Often better for long sun exposure

Dr. De Silva recommends choosing your sunscreen based on skin type, lifestyle, and sun intensity, not just trends.

Protect your skin wisely, your future self will thank you!

Sunscreen under makeup, do you really need it?

The answer: YES. ✅

Even if your foundation or BB cream says it has SPF, it’s usually not enough to fully protect your skin from Namibia’s strong sun. Here’s why:

🔹 Makeup SPF is applied too thinly to give true coverage.
🔹 Sunscreen shields against UVA & UVB rays, preventing premature aging and pigmentation.
🔹 Applying a good broad-spectrum sunscreen before makeup means you’re protected all day.

✨ Dermatologist Tip: Use a lightweight sunscreen designed for the face , it layers beautifully under makeup without feeling heavy.

The Truth About SPF Sprays vs Creams in Namibian Heat

Not all sunscreens are created equal and in Namibia’s harsh sun, protection matters more than ever. 🌵

💨 SPF Sprays
• Convenient & lightweight
• Easy to miss spots when applying
• Often applied too thinly, reducing protection

💧 SPF Creams/Lotions
• Provide more even coverage
• Better for dry, hot climates like Namibia
• Offer stronger hydration and barrier support

✅ Dermatologist’s Tip:
If you prefer a spray, use it as a top-up but for your main layer of protection, especially in Namibia’s sun, go with a broad-spectrum SPF cream applied generously and evenly.

📍 Protect your skin daily, book a consultation with Dr. Roxanne De Silva, Dermatologist at Windhoek Skin Institute, for personalized skincare in Namibian conditions.

Eczema & Sweat: Why flare-ups spike in hot climates like Namibia

Living in a warm, dry climate can make managing eczema extra challenging. Here’s why:

💦 Sweat + Heat = Triggers
• Sweat can irritate already sensitive skin, leading to itching and redness.
• Hot weather dries the skin barrier, making it more vulnerable.
• Frequent scratching worsens inflammation and flare-ups.

✨ Tips to keep flare-ups under control:
• Shower quickly after sweating and gently pat dry.
• Use a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer daily to lock in hydration.
• Wear breathable, lightweight fabrics to minimize irritation.
• Avoid long exposure to direct heat when possible.

📍 If eczema flare-ups are affecting your quality of life, Dr. Roxanne De Silva, Dermatologist at the Windhoek Skin Institute, can help tailor a treatment plan for your skin.

Take control of eczema , don’t let the Namibian heat control you.
