Your skin’s best friend this summer is sunscreen!

The December holidays mean fun in the sun, but UV rays don’t take a break. Sunscreen protects your skin from sunburn, premature aging and even skin cancer. Apply it every day, even when it’s cloudy. Choose SPF 30 or higher for the best protection and remember to reapply every 2 hours when outdoors.

If you notice anything new or unusual, book a dermatology check-up immediately. Early detection saves lives! Visit https://bit.ly/2GLCgzg for a list of dermatologists at Life Brooklyn Day Hospital. Our doctors can help you stay skin-safe.

Notice a mole or a spot that looks different? Don’t ignore it! Your skin can tell you a lot about your health.

While most moles are harmless, some changes can signal something serious like melanoma, which is a dangerous form of skin cancer. Dermatologists recommend using the ABCDE rule to check your moles:
Asymmetry: One half doesn’t match the other
Border: Irregular, jagged or blurred edges
Colour: Multiple colours or unusual shades
Evolving: Any change in size, shape, colour or symptoms like bleeding or itching

If you notice anything new or unusual, book a dermatology check-up immediately. Early detection saves lives! Visit Life Brooklyn Day Hospital here https://bit.ly/2GLCgzg to book your appointment with one of our dermatologists.

Too much sunburn? Here is what you should do!

Too much fun in the sun can leave your skin red, sore and sensitive. Sunburn is not just uncomfortable, it is actual skin damage. Dermatologists share how to care for your skin when too much sun exposure happens:

• Stay in the shade or indoors
• Cool your skin with gentle, cool showers or baths
• Moisturise while skin is damp using aloe vera or soy-based lotions
• Drink plenty of water to prevent dehydration
• Avoid popping blisters - they help your skin heal
• If you have severe pain, fever or large blisters, see a doctor

Sunburn today can lead to long-term skin damage, so protect your skin every time you go outside. Visit Life Brooklyn Day Hospital at https://bit.ly/2GLCgzg for more information on our dermatologists.
