Dr. Monalisa’s Dermatology

Few things to do if you are suffering from Sudden Hairfall 😢

1️⃣ Don’t stress or panic
• The more you stress, the more hairfall you will experience. It’s a vicious cycle.

2️⃣ Focus on healthy diet
• Start having healthy good quality food
• Iron rich foods like spinach, dates, broccoli, ragi, kidney beans, fish, pistachios, chick pea, strawberry, kiwi, tofu etc.
• Vitamin D rich foods like salmon, tuna, egg yolk, sun dried mushrooms, fortified foods or supplements prescribed by a Dermatologist
• Avoid skipping meals or fasting

3️⃣ Start using mild Sulfate free shampoos
• Use sulfate free shampoos & your regular sulfate shampoo once in 10 days to remove buildup
• Sulfate free shampoos-
- Giovanni range
- range
- macadamia shampoo
- murumuru shampoo bar
- argan nourish shampoo
- goat milk shampoo
- shampoos

4️⃣ Avoid hard water to wash your hair
• If you stay in an area with hard water, start using hard water filter or use drinking water to wash your hair

5️⃣ Comb gently
• Avoid combing vigorously & fast
• Comb gently. Remove tangles from the lower part of your hair & then proceed upwards towards the scalp. This makes sure you remove some tangles at a time without causing a lot of hair breakage.

6️⃣ Make loose hairstyles
• Avoid making tight ponytails & buns
• Prefer loose hairstyles (eg. with a simple claw clip) to avoid traction alopecia

✨Consult a Dermatologist to understand the cause of your hairfall & for appropriate treatment. The sooner you start the treatment, the earlier you can prevent more hairfall.

I apply Sunscreen daily yet I get tanned……..Why❓

We Indians have Fitzpatrick skin type ranging from 4 to 6 which gets tanned easily even with slightest UV exposure.

1. Use SPF 50 or more for better Sun protection

2. No Sunscreen can give you 100% from UV rays even if you use the best sunscreen with highest SPF!

3. Hence, along with applying sunscreen, resort to other measures of Sun protection too -
- Wearing full sleeve clothes
- Using Hat & scarves
- Using an Umbrella
- Using UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) Gloves will driving a car or two wheeler

4. If you sweat a lot or stay in hot & humid place, try using Water Resistant Sunscreens.

5. Avoid direct sunlight especially between 10am to 4pm. Seek shade whenever possible.

6. Always use adequate quantity of Sunscreen. Refer to my previous posts for the same.

7. Use Broad spectrum sunscreen which protects against both UVA & UVB rays. Tinted sunscreen provide additional protection against Infrared radiation & blue light.

8. Re-apply Sunscreen atleast once during the day if possible

Product Review- Episoft AC Moisturizer with Sunscreen



EPISOFT AC Moisturizer with Sunscreen ⭐️
By

🌀Price-
• Rs. 575 for 75 gms.
• Affordable.
• Very easily available in your nearby medical stores, Amazon, Nykaa, PharmEasy, 1mg, Netmeds.

🌀Highlights-
• Non-comedogenic
• Light weight, easy to apply
• SPF 30
• Boots star rating- 4

🌀Texture-
• Thin creamy, lotion like texture.

• Blends nicely into the skin
• No white cast

• Can get a bit greasy for very oily skin types. Such people can use this during winters.

🌀Works best for-
• Indoor application (or anybody who works from home), because Moisturizer with Sunscreen is not effective as a Sunscreen alone.

🌀My views-
• A little amount of this product forms a nice even layer on my skin. Therefore, the 2-finger Sunscreen rule can get very greasy for anybody with very oily skin type ( I have Oily skin). Hence, efficacy can be concerning.
• Did not break me out.
• I use it when indoors.

🌀Will I repurchase?
• Yes. I enjoyed using this one.

Overall rating- 8.5/10



⚠️ Disclaimer-

This routine can be literally used by everybody. Men and teenagers also!!

A cleanser, a suitable Moisturiser, a Sunscreen & a Chemical exfoliant is all the basic Skincare you need ✨

A good Cleanser according to your skin type, just not any cleanser! Helps to keep your skin clean & healthy 😇

A suitable Moisturizer, again according to your skin type. Moisturizer helps retain moisture into your skin, makes it supple & soft. It also plays a vital role in repairing & maintaining your skin barrier ⭐️

A Sunscreen which you like & will use daily. Getting to the Sunscreen of your dreams can take sometime, as it’s mostly trial & error. There is no perfect Sunscreen out there which will suit all skin types.
And, Sunscreen if used regularly will be your best friend 🤗

And the Last & my most favourite, a Chemical Exfoliant/ Peeling solution.
Using a chemical exfoliant once in 10-14 days keeps your skin youthful & gives a healthy glow to your skin. It gets rid of superficial pigmentation, fine lines & rejuvenates you skin 😍

Trust me, if you even follow this simple Skincare routine, your skin will thrive 🤩

Like I always say ‘Less is more’ ✨
You don’t need a whole list of products to achieve a healthy skin ☺️
Try it yourself 😉

We can help you build your perfect Skincare routine. DM us if you would like to book an Online Consultation with our Doctor👩🏻‍⚕️

1. Sunscreen 🧴

All about the Harmful rays from the Sun ☀️

Does rubbing nails really increase hair growth? 🤔

Did you know, there are only 2 FDA approved drugs for hair loss- Minoxidil & Finasteride for certain types of hair loss and that these can only be prescribed by a Dermatologist? 🤓

It is believed by many that nail rubbing increases hair growth by increasing blood circulation to your scalp❗️
But how❔

The funny part is that such claims are not backed by evidence and there are no studies yet proving the same 🤷🏻‍♀️

Sometimes, severe hair fall can occur due to issues like thyroid dysfunction, lupus, nutritional deficiencies, post- illness etc.

Imagine a situation where these patients resort to rubbing their nails instead of getting assessed by a Doctor ‼️

Please do not follow anything and everything just because you see such claims on the internet ❌

Try to find out if such claims are proven through any scientific studies.

Remember, anything that seems easy & simple might just not be the right thing to do 👎🏼

Avoid running behind quick fixes❕

Be well informed.
Do your research.
Consult your Doctor & get the right treatment.

Evidence based Medicine is everything.
Simple because it’s backed by science.
Period.

Stay healthy ✨
