Not sure if it’s poison ivy? Here’s how to tell 🌿
Poison ivy typically shows up as:
• Red, itchy rash that may feel like it’s burning
• Small blisters or bumps that can ooze or crust over
• In a line or streak pattern (from brushing against the plant)
• Often appears 1–3 days after contact, not right away
A good rule of thumb: “Leaves of three, let it be.” 🍃
If you think you’ve come in contact:
Wash the area ASAP, avoid scratching, and monitor for spreading.
If it’s getting worse, covering a large area, or just not improving—we’re here to help.

Did you know that not all sunscreen is the same?!

Physical (mineral) sunscreen:
• Sits on top of the skin and reflects UV rays
• Great for sensitive skin

Chemical sunscreen:
• Absorbs into the skin
• Often lighter + easier to rub in

Both work—choosing the right one depends on your skin. No referral needed!
