Skin Care & Sun Protection Education
Evidence-based fundamentals of epidermal barrier repair, broad-spectrum UVA/UVB photoprotection, and the ABCDE mole evaluation guide.
Gentle Cleansing
Use a mild, non-foaming pH-balanced cleanser (pH 5.0–5.5). Avoid harsh physical walnut scrubs or high-alkaline soaps that strip natural sebum and disrupt the acid mantle.
Barrier Moisturizing
Formulas containing ceramides, hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and squalane reinforce the stratum corneum lipid bilayer, preventing transepidermal water loss (TEWL).
Broad-Spectrum SPF
Apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher (PA+++) daily. UVA rays penetrate cloud cover and window glass, driving premature photo-aging and DNA mutations.
The ABCDE Mole & Skin Lesion Screening Guide
Perform a monthly self-check of your moles. Consult a dermatologist promptly if you observe any of the following characteristics:
One half of the mole does not match the other half.
Edges are irregular, ragged, notched, or blurred.
Uneven shades of brown, black, red, white, or blue.
Larger than 6 millimeters (approx size of pencil eraser).
Changing size, shape, color, or newly itching or bleeding.
