September is National Healthy Aging Month, so we’ll be sharing educational content about caring for different skin types in the coming weeks!

Did you know?

👉🏽African-American skin has been found to have significantly higher transepidermal water compared to Caucasian skin, contributing to increased incidence of dry skin commonly known as “ashiness.”

👉🏽Lower levels of ceramides have also been found in African-American skin, which may also contribute to increased need for moisturization.

👉🏽Asian skin has been shown to have higher skin reactivity, compared to Black and Caucasian patients, which can contribute to increased response after exposure to irritants.

👉🏽Know your skin! Ask your board-certified dermatologist for skincare recommendations that are right for you.

Watch for more expert content this month about skincare in skin of color!

Thank you @doc.nkem!
