Dermatologist’s guide for healthy skin

Dermatology is not just treating skin cancers and skin conditions, it’s also about promoting good skin care for all. We’ve gathered some tips and tricks around general dermatology and skin care.

• Apply sunscreen if you’ll be under the sun for an extended amount of time. Don’t forget to apply sunscreen to the neck, chest and hands before more commonly applied areas. Apply sunscreen even if it’s a cloudy winter afternoon, as UV rays can still damage your skin.
• Most women may think it’s a terrible idea to go to bed with makeup on. In reality however, it’s not a big problem. There’s not much of a difference between having make-up on for your 12 hour day versus 8 hours at night. Eye makeup rubbing against your pillow might make it pretty dirty though!
• Don’t pop your zits. Only white-headed pimples are safe to pop but even then, it can lead to infection and scarring.

Healthy skin is about good habits and awareness of the dangers of the environment. Looking for a skin dermatologist doctor near you? Find one by searching through our online directory and make a booking today!
