Your skin is the body’s largest organ, protecting you from infections, regulating temperature, and enabling touch. Healthy skin is vital for overall well-being and appearance.

Skin conditions can result from genetics, environment, lifestyle, infections, or underlying health problems. Triggers like stress, diet, and weather can worsen symptoms.



Seek medical advice if you notice persistent rashes, severe acne, changing moles, unexplained itchiness, or symptoms that don’t improve with over-the-counter treatments.

Follow a routine: cleanse gently, moisturise, wear sunscreen, stay hydrated, eat a balanced diet, and avoid excessive sun exposure or harsh products.

For more specific advice – check with your dermatologist!

Most skin conditions are manageable with proper diagnosis and treatment. Early intervention is key to preventing complications or scarring

Acne occurs when oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria clog pores. Hormonal changes, genetics, and lifestyle factors can contribute. It’s common in teens but affects adults too.

Treatments include topical creams, oral medications, and skincare routines.

Severe acne may require dermatologist-led therapies like chemical peels or laser treatments.

Common triggers include allergens, dry skin, stress, irritants like soaps or detergents, and weather changes.

Identifying one’s triggers is key to managing eczema.

While eczema cannot be cured, it can be managed with proper skincare, moisturisers, anti-inflammatory treatments, and lifestyle adjustments to reduce flare-ups.

Sunscreen protects against harmful UV rays that cause skin aging, burns, and cancer. Apply SPF 30+ every 2 hours, especially outdoors.

While you can’t fully reverse sun damage, treatments like retinoids, chemical peels, and laser therapies can improve skin texture and pigmentation.

UVA rays penetrate deeper into the skin, causing aging and long-term damage, while UVB rays cause sunburn. Look for “broad-spectrum” sunscreens to protect against both.

Sunscreens are generally not recommended for infants under 6 months. Instead, protect them with shade, hats, and clothing. For older babies, consult a paediatrician for a baby-safe sunscreen.

While makeup and moisturisers with SPF provide some protection, they may not be enough since people often apply them too thinly. Use a dedicated sunscreen for full coverage.

It is recommended to wash your face twice a day—morning and night—to remove oil, dirt, and impurities.

In general, use a gentle, pH-balanced cleanser suitable for your skin type: hydrating cleansers for dry skin, foaming or salicylic acid cleansers for oily skin, and fragrance-free options for sensitive skin.

The time frame for results depends on the type of treatment. Some treatments, like facials or chemical peels, may provide noticeable results within a few days.

Others, such as laser treatments, microneedling, or injectables, may take a few weeks to months as the skin regenerates and heals. Consistency and follow-up sessions are often key for the best outcome.

Medical-grade skincare products contain higher concentrations of active ingredients and are backed by clinical research. They are typically recommended by professionals to address specific skin concerns.

Over-the-counter (OTC) products are widely available but have lower concentrations of active ingredients and may take longer to show results.

Laser treatments can target multiple skin concerns, including pigmentation, acne scars, fine lines, and uneven texture. They work by stimulating collagen production and removing damaged layers of skin to reveal fresher, smoother skin underneath.

Results vary depending on the type of laser used, but it’s often a safe and effective solution when performed by professionals.

The right skin treatment depends on your skin type, concerns (e.g., acne, pigmentation, wrinkles), and goals.

Start with a consultation with a dermatologist or skincare professional who can assess your skin condition and recommend a tailored treatment plan, whether it’s facials, peels, laser therapies, or skincare products.
