5 things damaging your skin (from dermatologists who see this every single day):
1. Skipping SPF
2. Picking at your skin
3. Overdoing actives
4. Ignoring changing spots
5. Self-diagnosing instead of being seen
Skin cancer doesn’t wait. Scars don’t magically disappear. Barrier damage doesn’t fix itself. The good news? Most of this is preventable.
If something on your skin has changed, or just doesn’t feel right, it’s worth a visit.
Your skin journey is just that — a journey. And you don’t have to navigate it alone.
