Drink plenty of water throughout the day to help your skin stay hydrated and minimize dryness.
Use a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer regularly, especially after washing your face. Look for products specifically designed for sensitive skin.
Protect your skin from the sun. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher daily, even on cloudy days. Reapply every two hours, or more frequently if swimming or sweating.
Avoid harsh soaps and scrubbing. Cleanse your face gently with lukewarm water and a mild cleanser. Pat your skin dry, don’t rub.
Consider using a lip balm with SPF to prevent chapped lips. Many patients experience dryness in this area.
Report any unusual changes in your skin, such as severe redness, blistering, or peeling, to your doctor immediately.
Maintain a healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Nutrition plays a role in overall skin health.
If you experience any significant side effects, such as severe headaches, vision changes, or joint pain, contact your physician promptly for guidance.
Regularly scheduled check-ups with your dermatologist are crucial for monitoring your progress and adjusting your treatment plan as needed.
