July is UV Safety Month!

One of the easiest ways to stay safe in the sun? Wearing sunscreen. But how does it actually protect your skin?

Broad-spectrum sunscreen forms a barrier that absorbs or reflects harmful UVA and UVB rays, keeping your skin protected at every layer.

☀️ UVA rays pe*****te deep, causing aging, wrinkles, and long-term damage.
☀️ UVB rays affect the surface, leading to sunburns and increasing the risk of skin cancer.

Stay safe in the sun by applying broad-spectrum SPF 30+ daily and reapplying every 2 hours!

Your nails might be telling you something!

From color changes to texture and shape, your nail condition may signal something more than just cosmetic.

Here are a few things to watch for:

🔹 Pitting or dimpling can be linked to psoriasis or thyroid conditions.
🔹 Spoon-shaped nails may suggest iron-deficiency anemia or excess iron.
🔹 Dark vertical streaks under the nail could signal melanoma.
🔹 Yellow discoloration might result from fungal infections or chronic lung disease.
🔹 Blue nails can indicate low blood oxygen levels and require urgent care.
🔹 Horizontal ridges (Beau’s lines) may appear after serious illness or as a sign of uncontrolled diabetes.

If you notice changes in your nails, it’s a good idea to check in with a board-certified dermatologist for an expert evaluation.
