Double cleansing is more than a skincare trend—it’s a proven way to remove deep-down dirt, oil, and sunscreen that can clog pores and dull your skin.

Here’s how it works 👇
Step 1: Use an oil-based cleanser to break down SPF, makeup, and sebum.
Step 2: Follow with a gentle water-based cleanser.

When used right, it can help you maintain a cleaner, clearer complexion.

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.

Today is World Vitiligo Day! 🌎

Vitiligo is a chronic skin condition that causes pigment loss, leading to smooth white patches on the skin and sometimes the hair. It’s most common in people in their 20s but can appear at any age.

Melasma appears as brown or grayish patches, often on the face and is triggered by hormones, genetics and sun exposure.
