SKIN FACTS YOU SHOULD KNOW - from a derm PA ✨

✨ Things I wish more people knew about skin as a Dermatology PA:

💧 Wounds heal best in a moist environment. Contrary to popular belief, letting a wound “air out” can actually slow healing. Keeping it moisturized with Aquaphor can help support faster, healthier healing.

☀️ The best sunscreen isn’t necessarily the most expensive or trendy—it’s the one you’ll actually wear every day. Consistency matters more than perfection.

☁️ Overcast doesn’t mean UV-free. Up to 80% of UV rays can still penetrate through clouds, so sunscreen is just as important on cloudy days.

🧴 Ketoconazole shampoo isn’t just for dandruff. It may also help support hair growth by reducing scalp inflammation and creating a healthier environment for hair follicles, therefore promoting hair growth.

6/11 Edited to

... Read moreFrom my personal experience working closely with dermatologists, I can confirm that maintaining a moist wound environment truly accelerates healing and reduces scarring. I used to think air drying wounds was better until I saw patients improve faster with Aquaphor as a protective barrier, keeping their skin hydrated and infection-free. When it comes to sunscreen, the most important factor is daily, consistent use rather than brand or price. Even on cloudy days, I've noticed many people underestimate sun exposure. Since UV rays can penetrate up to 80% through clouds, applying sunscreen regularly prevents premature aging and skin cancers. One tip many overlook is how ketoconazole shampoo helps beyond dandruff. In my experience, it alleviates scalp inflammation, improving the scalp's condition and supporting hair follicles for healthier hair growth. This can be particularly helpful for those suffering from pattern hair loss or irritated scalps. Overall, embracing simple skin care habits like moisturizing wounds properly, wearing sunscreen daily regardless of weather, and adding ketoconazole shampoo when needed can make a meaningful difference in your skin and hair health.

Aquafor and vitamin C break my face out. Is there a similar system like neutrogena that was recalled to deeply exfoliate skin?
