Dermatology Tips

Tip 1:

For those rosy red cheeks in rosacea, a sheer green-tinted primer is a good choice for a makeup base. The green tint can help visually correct redness and even out skin tone. Get one with UVA/UVB protection and you'll help shield skin from exposure that can aggravate rosacea.

Tip 2:

The SPF is the “sun protection factor.” If you would normally burn after 10 minutes in the sun, a sunscreen with SPF of 30 would allow you to stay 30 times longer in the sun before burning, or 300 minutes.

Tip 3:

Hair is most prone to damage when it is wet. If you are struggling with hair loss or damage it is best to use a wide toothed comb or your fingers to detangle your hair when it is wet. When it has dried it is safer to use a standard brush.
