📚 Whether you’re treating teens or adults, this session will help you refine your approach and treat acne smarter, not harder.

Cleab hands, healthier skin! 🖐️✨

Children with eczema have delicate, sensitive skin that’s more prone to infections and flare-ups. Washing your hands before touching your child is a simple but powerful step to protect them.

#️⃣ Reduce infection – fragile skin can be colonized by bacteria like Staphylococcus aureus. Clean hands lower the risk.
#️⃣ Block allergens – dust, pollen, pet dander, or food proteins on your hands can trigger itching and flares.
#️⃣ Avoid irritants – soaps, fragrances, or cleaning residues can worsen eczema.
#️⃣ Support healing – clean hands help the skin barrier recover and stay healthy.

Gentle handwashing is more than hygiene—it’s eczema care. 💧

Annual Eye Check-ups Matter 👀

A few days ago, my daughter mentioned that she couldn’t see clearly when her teacher used certain colours of chalk on the board. The ophthalmologist told me she might have glaucoma (increase pressure of the eye) 😱😱😱

Phews, all is well after many test and many visits.

At first, it seemed minor—but it turned out to be an important reminder.

Children don’t always realise or verbalise vision problems clearly. They adapt, sit closer, copy from friends, or struggle silently. Colour contrast, lighting, and distance can reveal visual issues that often go unnoticed

This experience reinforced why annual eye check-ups are essential, even when there are no obvious symptoms. Early detection can prevent learning difficulties, headaches, poor concentration, and unnecessary academic struggles.

👓 Key takeaway for parents:
If your child complains about the board, books, colours, or headaches—don’t wait. A simple eye exam can make a big difference.

Let’s normalise routine eye checks for our children. Clear vision supports confident learning.

Puberty 101: your skin is part of your story 🤍

During puberty, hormones switch on oil and sweat glands, often leading to oily skin, acne, new body odour, sensitivity, and even dark marks. These changes can feel sudden and overwhelming, especially during a time when confidence already feels fragile.

The good news?
✨ These changes are normal
✨ They are usually temporary
✨ The right skincare habits can make a big difference

New school year, big feelings. Starting school anxiety is very common, especially during periods of change and new routines.

You may notice clinginess, tummy aches, sleep changes, or tears at drop-off—these are normal stress responses, not signs of weakness or poor coping.

With consistent routines, calm reassurance, and time, most children gradually settle and regain confidence.

A predictable goodbye, validating their feelings, and working closely with teachers can make a meaningful difference.

If anxiety persists or interferes with daily functioning, early support helps. You’re not alone in this—many families experience it, and it does get better.

Tween skin ≠ Adult skin 🚫

Just because it’s trending doesn’t mean it’s safe.

👧 Tween skin (8–12 years):
• Thinner, still developing skin barrier
• Less oil production
• More sensitive and easily irritated

👩 Adult skin:
• Fully developed barrier
• Hormonal and age-related changes
• Needs targeted treatment (acne, pigmentation, aging)

✨ What tween skin ACTUALLY needs:
✔ Gentle cleanser
✔ Light moisturizer
✔ Daily sunscreen
That’s it.

❌ No retinoids
❌ No harsh acids
❌ No scrubs
❌ No anti-aging products

More products = more irritation.

Healthy skin starts with protection, not correction.
