For preteens and teens, keep it simple. Use gentle cleansers, daily sunscreen and reach for pimple patches instead of picking. Choose products with the right ingredients, not whatever is trending. Small habits make a big difference for young skin.🧴

A quick reminder for your morning routine ☀️
The SPF in your moisturiser is not enough on its own. Most people do not apply a thick enough layer to reach the protection printed on the bottle. This means your skin is not fully protected from UV rays or the dark marks they can trigger.

Use a dedicated sunscreen every day. Apply it generously. Reapply when needed. Your skin will thank you.

Brown skin deserves extra care 🤎

Hyperpigmentation is one of the biggest struggles we see. Avoid picking pimples because any inflammation can leave behind dark marks. Sunscreen is non-negotiable, even on cloudy days.

Start slow with actives like retinoids and glycolic acid. Protect your skin barrier and stay consistent. Gentle steps make the biggest difference.

Your glow is worth it.

Here’s how I clean my makeup brushes properly at home 🧴

1. Fill a clean bowl with lukewarm water, about three-quarters full.

2. Add a small amount of Bioscrub and micellar water. The Bioscrub removes bacteria while micellar water lifts makeup, sunscreen, and oil buildup.

3. Soak brushes for 5 minutes.

4. Rinse gently under lukewarm water until it runs clear.

5. Wash each brush individually with a fragrance-free soap, lather in your palm, swirl only the bristles, and rinse well.

6. Gently squeeze out excess water.

7. Lay flat and air-dry for 12 to 24 hours away from direct sunlight.

Clean brushes mean fewer breakouts and healthier skin.

Without melanin, the skin is extremely vulnerable to sunburn, UV damage and skin cancer, yet many people with albinism still lack access to proper protection and care.

Dermatology is about empathy, education and helping every patient protect the skin they live in. 🤎
