Notes on skin, rest and care
Short, practical reading from our doctor and therapists. General information, not personal advice.
Caring for melanin-rich skin in the Uyo heat
Heat, humidity and strong sun ask a lot of skin. The good news is that the best routine is short and gentle.
What to expect from your first peel
A first peel can feel like a leap. Here is exactly what happens, so there are no surprises.
Quick tips
Sunscreen every morning
Even indoors near windows. A light gel texture works well in humid weather.
Pat, do not rub
Pat your face dry with a clean towel to avoid irritation.
Change pillowcases weekly
A simple habit that helps with breakouts.
Patch test new products
Try a little behind the ear for two days first.
Nothing matches. Try "sunscreen" or "peel".
The Verano letter
One short email a month with a skin tip, a seasonal treatment and the occasional quiet-hours offer.
