Having a skincare routine isn't just about cleansing your face, it's also about hydrating your skin, taking care of any skin concerns, and protecting it from the elements. At its most basic, your skincare routine should always include a cleanser, moisturizer, and sunscreen.1Depending on your skin type and your skin goals, you can add additional treatments to your routine to treat dry, oily, aging, or acne-prone skin.

Skin tags are tiny, harmless growths usually found in folds of the skin like the armpits, neck, and eyelids. Experts think the growths develop due to friction from parts of the skin rubbing against each other. It's estimated that at least half of the adult population will get a skin tag at some point in their lives, but people with certain health conditions and a family history of these skin growths are more likely to experience them.1Skin tags are also referred to as acrochordons.

After getting a tattoo, it usually takes a few weeks for it to completely heal and be able to reveal your new ink in all its glory. The process of tattooing is one that involves fine needles that wound your skin, as they deposit ink deep into layers of your skin. As a result, the tattoo healing process involves temporary stages of redness, oozing, itching, and peeling. On average, a tattoo takes two to four weeks to heal.

Skip to contentEczema (also known as dermatitis) is a group of skin conditions with no single known cause. Generally, it's influenced by your genes, environment (such as where you live), and your immune system. Your immune system plays a part by reacting strongly to perceived threats (which is known as an overactive immune response), triggering the irritating skin symptoms that characterize each type of eczema.1Things like harsh soaps and allergens like pollen can trigger worsening symptoms.
