Thank you, @relightalopecia, for this important talk! She, plus organizations like @faceequalityint and @changingfacesuk, are doing such brilliant work. 👏 Many visible differences (such as burns, vitiligo, psoriasis, etc.) can’t be hidden. Should they be? We certainly don’t think so.
Focus on health, not visible markers of “normal” or “perfect.” Everyone has value and deserves to be free of discrimination based on their physical appearance.

I would love you to watch the @tedx_official talk I did explaining what ‘visible difference’ is and why I continue to show up in this world as a big, bald woman even though I know, unconsciously, you would prefer me not to...

Monolaurin, a smoothening and clarifying coconut-derivative helps skin appear more uniform from head to “glow.” Non-drying and pore-friendly. Gives skin a matte finish, and helps skin on face and body feel cooler, calmer, and more refreshed. 🤍

“‘Let’s please celebrate who we are as we are because we are magnificent’ was one of the comments to the Emma Thompson video I posted a couple weeks ago. So was ‘be radical and love yourself’ ❤️ sadly the majority of the comments though were commiserating with Emma sharing personal details and stories about self criticism and loathing, even hatred. Then intermingled with those were a few from folks saying they ‘loved their bodies’ and that we should all follow. It’s a complicated issue for sure but what seems clear is that we want to talk about it! We want to normalize it and we want to make the future better for our kids. That’s certainly the case for me.
For those that shared personal feelings with me, thank you. Thank you for sharing this space with me, for venting and for supporting one another. I am sending love to you and strength …
‘I don’t know about anyone else (though I suspect it’s much the same for most women), but this speaks to me on such a visceral level it makes me cry.‘
‘I don’t hate my body anymore. I love it. In its imperfection or in its finest moments. I’m strong. I’m healthy. I’m capable. My body is one of my greatest gifts.’
‘I wished hard for roles that didn’t have expectations for physical “beauty.” It gets old, having to worry about that on top of being strong, flexible, accurate, artistically stylish, technically secure and most of all, honest and expressive. It shouldn’t even be in my top ten list of concerns, but all too often it feels primary.’
‘I tell you what, I RESPECT my body. I’m like “Damn girl, look at you carrying the the groceries from the car, look at you climbing those stairs with only a slight twinge in my knees, look at yo
Dark blotches can be caused by things that are supposed to treat them 😳 #SkintelSunday #skintelligence
🔴 Some skincare products for melasma — and sunscreens! — contain photo-allergens like fragrance that can actually cause more hyperpigmentation. Chooser safer options with anti-inflammatories like Illuminants and Stay-On-Point or Armada.
⚠️ Certain actives like hydroquinone can be excellent at lightening discolorations initially but are often too irritating for long-term use and can cause a blue-black hyperpigmentation called ochronisis that’s even more difficult to treat.
🔅 Some laser treatments can cause hyperpigmentation, especially in deeper skin tones. See a dermatologist who is an expert in laser treatments for darker skins or who uses a non-radiation machine like Enerjet.
😇 Allergen-&-Comedogen-Free is the way to go to prevent irritations and acne that can lead to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. And ask your dermatologist about a photo-patch test to more accurately identify what’s causing your dark blotches.

Never forget pits
Our skin mites are “cute”? 😳#SkintelSunday #skintelligence
Today’s #skintel bites …
⚕️ Some skin issues involve other things like your innate immunity. See a board-certified dermatologist to understand your condition better.
😇 Rosacea, seborrheic dermatitis and acne (most skin conditions, really) benefit from avoiding too contact allergens like fragrance, preservatives, and dyes. Get a patch test to know what you, in particular, need to avoid.
🦠 Like the gut, our skin has healthy microbes that live naturally in balance to keep skin healthy. Sometimes, this balance becomes disrupted and some critters cause problems. One such microbe is a mite called Demodex folliculorum that normally lives happily in our skins. If you have rosacea, an overproduction of this mite might be something to bring back into balance. Seborrheic dermatitis and various types of acne can also have a microbial imbalance to manage.
⚠️ MANY skin conditions can be mistaken for each other or several other problems. Don’t self diagnose.

Daily protection tips from from forever #skinspiration @elaineabonal! ☀️ 🌥️
•
There really is a lot less shade now that the island has a lot leas shade. (Trees have fallen down from last year’s storm). So even if I had always been good at putting on sunscreen, I am even more vigilant about my skin care routine now that I’m back. We also always drive around on a motorbike and are exposed to all the elements including wind and dust so there’s definitely skin damage to be had.
It’s interesting to me that some people only put sunscreen when they are going to the beach or go swimming. But honestly, we need sun protection every day (sunny or overcast… especially overcast). I slather on @vmvhypoallergenics’ Armada Sport 70 sunscreen on myself and my daughter before any activity even if it’s just a trip to the wet market!
So this is your friendly reminder from me to make sure you’ve got your skin covered!! Do it ALL the time and everywhere. You can thank me later when your skin actually looks 10 years younger than it’s supposed to be! 🌞🌞 #vmv #vmvhypoallergenics #vmvarmadasport70 #vmvarmada #vmvphilippines

What does “natural” mean? Or “for sensitive skin? 🧐 #SkintelSunday #skintelligence
Cosmetic labels can be confusing. Let’s clear up a few common claims …
🌱 “NATURAL”
Normally not regulated. Doesn’t mean much.
📑 “ORGANIC”
Normally regulated. Requires proof, an audit, and certification.
😇 “HYPOALLERGENIC”
Normally regulated. Requires proof but different FDAs have higher or lower standards. In addition to patch testing every ingredient and final product, VMV uses the VH-Rating System to omit top contact allergens (as published by independent researchers) and help customers understand if their allergen is in the product. A study on the efficacy of this system is published in a leading contact dermatitis journal showing less than 0.1% reactions in over 30 years.
🤷 “DERMATOLOGIST-TESTED”
Sometimes regulated and unclear as to the results of the testing.
🕵️ WITH CLINICAL STUDIES
If usage tests, these are fairly subjective. If evidence-based (randomized, double-blind), they’re more objective and reliable (especially if published in a peer-reviewed journal).
⚠️ “SOMETHING-FREE!”
Could be great or could be misleading. Sometimes the alternative could be a bigger problem. It’s better to be guided by your patch test results.
