Educating the public — National Healthy Skin Month

30 healthy skin days hath November!

November was National Healthy Skin Month and the AAD was Johnny on the Spot (whatever that spot may be) on Nov. 1 with information across aad.org and our @AADskin social media channels educating the public on healthy skin from head to toe and the role of dermatologists as the skin health experts.

On the multimedia page, we addressed everything from premature aging skin to uses for petroleum jelly, as well as specifics on care for dry skin, oily skin, and all skin in between. We not only gave your patients answers to common questions; we encouraged them to seek a board-certified dermatologist for all their skin, hair, and nail issues.

What’s more, we created the hashtag #YourHealthiestSkin and encouraged the public to follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram for additional skin health tips throughout the month. Many of you contributed to the more than 2,800 uses of the hashtag in November!
