Doctor's advice:

• “Look after your skin’s health every day—it’s one of the main indicators of your overall condition! Valuing a holistic approach to wellness, I recommend paying attention to proper daily skincare, sun protection, balanced nutrition, and a healthy lifestyle. Remember, a smile and ease in communication can disperse any ‘storm clouds’! At the first signs of discomfort or suspicious skin changes, consult a dermatologist, since early diagnosis is the key to effective prevention and treatment.”
