If your mom never told you this, you’re not alone.

For generations, vaginal health has been treated as a taboo topic - whispered about, misunderstood, or avoided altogether. As a result, many women of all ages were never taught the basics of how to properly care for their vaginal health.

If you’ve ever secretly Googled symptoms, felt unsure about what’s “normal,” or wished someone had explained this sooner; this series is for you! Most women were never taught the fundamentals of vaginal health, so let’s start the conversation and jump into the basics.

If you found this helpful, share it with a friend, sister, or daughter.

Skin cancer remains one of the most common cancers worldwide and in South Africa, our high UV exposure significantly increases lifetime risk. The encouraging reality is that most skin cancers are highly treatable when detected early.

Skin cancer develops when abnormal skin cells grow uncontrollably, most often due to cumulative ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or artificial sources such as tanning beds. While fair-skinned individuals are at higher risk, all skin tones are affected, and delayed diagnosis can occur when warning signs are overlooked.

Regular self-examinations and routine professional skin checks play a critical role in early detection. Being familiar with your own skin and recognising changes early, can be life-saving.

Sunscreen is one of the most effective tools we have to protect our skin health - but only when it’s used correctly.
• Apply sunscreen evenly and liberally at least 30 minutes before sun exposure.
• Reapply every two hours when outdoors.
• Reapply after swimming, heavy sweating, or towel-drying.
• Don’t forget commonly missed areas: ears, lips, nose, chest, shoulders, hands, and feet.
• Avoid direct sun exposure during the hottest part of the day (10am–4pm) when UV radiation is strongest.

Choosing the Right Sun Protection: Look for a broad-spectrum sunscreen that protects against UVA and UVB rays. Many dermatologists recommend SPF 50, as higher SPF values provide greater protection against sunburn, premature ageing, pigmentation, and skin cancer. Sun protection goes beyond sunscreen alone. For optimal protection wear wide-brimmed hats & choose protective clothing such as long sleeves.

Make sunscreen reapplication a habit throughout the day, regardless of the weather.

Once you arrive at your destination, your skin is exposed to a trifecta that fuels pigmentation: UV rays, visible light, and heat. If you’ve just stepped off a flight (Research shows that skin hydration can drop by up to 37% during flights), your skin barrier is already more vulnerable.

Why pigment-prone skin darkens at the beach:
• UV radiation directly stimulates melanocytes.
• Visible light (especially blue light) worsens melasma.
• Heat creates inflammation that increases pigment.
• Sand and water reflect UV, intensifying exposure.

Melasma is not just a sun problem, it’s also a heat and inflammation problem. Research shows that heat alone can activate melanocytes, causing pigmentation even without direct sun exposure. High humidity further increases blood flow to the skin, amplifying this response.

A few simple protective habits during your holiday can make a significant difference in how your skin looks and feels when you return home.

The festive season brings sun-soaked holidays, long-awaited reunions, and well-deserved rest… But it can also be one of the most disruptive weeks for your skin.

Between dry cabin air, heat, humidity, and long days in the ocean or sunshine, your skin faces a unique combination of environmental stressors. These can accelerate dehydration, sensitivity, breakouts, and pigmentation, especially when the skin barrier becomes compromised.

Here are a few holiday skin survival tips to keep your skin happy through the festive season.
