✨ New Shampoos Worth Knowing About ✨

CeraVe recently launched a line of dermatologist-recommended shampoos that are now available over-the-counter—and I’m really impressed with them! 🙌

They come in two main options:
🧴 Hydrating Shampoo – a gentle, fragrance-free option that restores moisture, supports the scalp barrier, and works well for daily use.
🧴 Anti-Dandruff Shampoo – formulated with 1% zinc pyrithione to help control flakes, itching, and irritation, while still being gentle enough for regular use.

✅ Safe for all hair types
✅ Color-safe (no harsh stripping)
✅ Developed with dermatologists

If you’ve been searching for an option that balances scalp health with hair care, this is a great place to start! 🌿

Fun Fact Friday!

Did you know? Going to bed with makeup on can make your skin age up to SEVEN times faster than normal! Toxins and pollutants from the day can linger on your skin if you don't cleanse before hitting the hay. So remember, don't forget to wash away the day and let your skin rejuvenate during the night!!

✨ September is Alopecia Awareness Month ✨

Alopecia simply means hair loss, but it comes in many different forms — each with unique causes, patterns, and treatments. Understanding these differences helps us support patients with compassion and the right care.

🔹 Alopecia areata – an autoimmune condition where the immune system attacks hair follicles, leading to patchy bald spots on the scalp, face, or body.
🔹 Androgenetic alopecia – also called male- or female-pattern baldness; the most common form, influenced by genetics and hormones.
🔹 Telogen effluvium – temporary shedding often triggered by stress, illness, surgery, or hormonal changes.
🔹 Traction alopecia – caused by repeated pulling or tension on the hair from certain hairstyles.
🔹 Scarring (cicatricial) alopecia – less common, but involves permanent destruction of hair follicles from inflammation.

💡 What you can do:
• Seek evaluation early if you notice sudden or unusual hair loss.
• Protect your scalp from sun damage.
• Remember: treatment depends on the type of alopecia — so an accurate diagnosis is key.

This month, let’s spread awareness, reduce stigma, and empower those experiencing hair loss to seek answers and support. 💙
