You’re not imagining it—sunscreens in other countries often feel AND perform better. We’re catching up, though—BEMOTRIZINOL is widely used around the world and it’s finally here! It gives us broad spectrum coverage, minimal absorption, and it won’t break down easily in sunlight.

🌞Alabama humidity + skin folds= perfect environment for intertrigo ( rash caused my trapped heat and moisture).

If you’ve noticed redness, itching, burning, or irritation under the breasts, belly, groin, or other skin folds, you may be dealing with intertrigo.

Help prevent it by:
• Keeping skin folds clean and dry
• Wearing breathable clothing
• Drying well after showering or sweating
• Using moisture-wicking products like InterDry® or an antifungal powder when recommended

Don’t ignore the irritation- treating it early can help prevent it from getting worse.

Think you can skip sunscreen because it’s overcast? Think again. 👀

Even on cloudy days, up to 80% of UV radiation can reach your skin. Make SPF part of your daily routine—your future self will thank you. ✨🧴

Excellent skin care doesn’t have to be expensive. Retinoids are not recommended during pregnancy.

Alabama’s heat and humidity can create the perfect environment for tinea versicolor flare-ups.

Tinea versicolor is a common fungal skin condition that can cause lighter or darker patches on the skin, often on the chest, back, shoulders, and neck. The good news? It’s very common, treatable, and not contagious.

If you notice discoloration that doesn’t go away, a dermatology evaluation can help confirm the diagnosis and guide treatment🤍
