Experts from The Well, Dr Dara Suite, and Samira Kazemzadeh share insights on how professionals can help patients manage and identify chronic skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis. From trigger management and barrier repair to acupuncture and gentle tweakments, the focus remains on personalised care, stress reduction, and protecting the skin’s natural balance for lasting relief and healthier skin.

Rosacea in skin of colour is often overlooked and underdiagnosed due to subtle symptoms that differ from those in lighter skin tones. Flushing may appear as warmth or darkening rather than redness, leading to misdiagnosis. Recognising these differences is crucial for effective treatment and inclusive skincare. With increased awareness and representation, practitioners can better identify and manage rosacea in diverse skin types, ensuring accurate care for every client.
