November is National Healthy Skin Month

National Healthy Skin Month each November is sponsored by the American Academy of Dermatology.

You may not realize it, but your skin reveals a lot about your overall health. This month makes you aware of what it takes to keep your skin healthy as well as understanding how to treat and prevent common skin problems. -AAD


See Basic Skin Care, for adults of different ages, on the American Academy of Dermatology website at https://www.aad.org/public/everyday-care/skin-care-basics/care.

For oncology skin care, see the attached document, Skin Care for the Cancer Journey. There are also two skin care guides attached, from two oncology skin care programs: the LaRoche-Posay Oncology Patient Guide and the Skin Care Guide from Ricardo Fisas Natura Bisse Foundation (an updated version should be coming out soon). 

Skincare is self-care: Treat your skin with love.
