4 Things I’d NEVER Do as a Dermatologist 🚫 Sleeping with wet hair—this creates the perfect environment for bacteria and fungi to thrive, leading to scalp issues like dandruff or irritation. Plus, it weakens hair strands, causing breakage over time.
🚫 Using Neosporin on my skin—did you know it can actually cause allergic reactions and delay proper healing? There are better alternatives like Aquaphor or Vaseline for wound care.
🚫 Applying essential oils directly to skin—they might sound natural, but many essential oils can irritate your skin or even cause burns if not diluted properly.
🚫 Wearing tight hairstyles daily—repeated tension on your hair can lead to traction alopecia, a type of hair loss caused by pulling on the hair follicles. Your skin and hair deserve better care! 💡 What’s one habit you’ve ditched for healthier skin or hair? Let me know below! ⬇️
