Skin & Hair

What you'll learn

Sun protection every day

Using a broad-spectrum sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher, seeking shade and wearing protective clothing helps reduce the risk of sunburn, premature ageing and skin cancer.

Everyday skincare basics

For most people, a gentle cleanser, a moisturiser suited to their skin type and daily sunscreen cover the essentials. More products don't always mean better results.

Common skin conditions

Acne, eczema and psoriasis are common and often very treatable. Our articles explain causes, triggers and the treatment options worth discussing with a doctor.

Understanding hair loss

Hair loss can be linked to genetics, hormones, stress, nutrition or medical conditions. Identifying the cause is the first step toward the right approach.

Nutrition for skin and hair

Protein, iron, zinc and a range of vitamins all play a role in healthy skin and hair. A varied diet usually provides what you need.

When to see a dermatologist

Have a doctor check any mole that is changing in size, shape or colour, bleeds, or looks different from your other moles. Early detection makes skin cancer much easier to treat.
