The best sunscreen for you depends on your skin type; however, any sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of 30 is good enough.
Use a sunblock with a broad-spectrum protection from both ultraviolet A (UVA) and ultraviolet (UVB) rays. Re-apply every two hours and after expose to water through swimming or sweating.
People who are sensitive to sunscreens should look for chemical-free sunscreens. These products typically contain titanium dioxide and zinc oxide that reflect rather than absorb the sun's rays. They are usually much less likely to cause a skin reaction.
Ask your dermatologist if he or she recommends a special sunscreen for your skin type.

Petrolatum, an ingredient in many lotions, creams and ointments, is an excellent moisturizer. Other ingredients such as urea, alpha hydroxy acids, lactic acid, and ammonium lactate help the skin hold water.
Many people have acne. It is the most common skin problem. Most people who have acne are teenagers or young adults, but acne can occur at any age. Men and women get acne. Some women get acne when they near menopause or due to hormonal imbalance.
Acne appears when a pore in our skin clogs. This clog begins with dead skin cells. Normally, dead skin cells rise to surface of the pore, and the body sheds the cells. When the body starts to make lots of sebum (see-bum), oil that keeps our skin from drying out, the dead skin cells can stick together inside the pore. Instead of rising to the surface, the cells become trapped inside the pore.Sometimes bacteria that live on our skin, P.acnes, also get inside the clogged pore. Inside the pore, the bacteria have a perfect environment for multiplying very quickly. With loads of bacteria inside, the pore becomes inflamed (red and swollen). If the inflammation goes deep into the skin, an acne cyst or nodule appears.

There are several types of skin rashes, whatever type of rash it may be, the skin tells you go and meet a dermatologist, so kindly listen to what your skin wants to communicate by visiting a dermatologist Non-infectious rashes like contact dermatitis, eczema or atopic dermatitis are not contagious. An allergen or environmental factors generally cause them. Monitor your skin and see a dermatologist to learn how to manage symptoms if it worsens. Four types of skin infections can cause a rash: bacterial, viral, fungal and parasitic. A dermatologist can diagnose your type and provide treatment options, such as topical creams or in-office procedures. A rash can be a sign of another issue, so if the inflammation is widespread, painful or blistering or you have a fever, see a doctor immediately.
Thinning hair or a receding hairline can significantly impact how you feel about yourself. We offer platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy to increase the blood flow in hair follicles and encourage new growth. PRP therapy has minimal risks. The results vary based on your age and gender.
