Dr Cebi Skin Doc

POV: my dermatology degree quietly packed its bags and left the room 😭🫣

I know we all want clearer skin, fewer pimples and a solution for dark spots as quickly as possible… but toothpaste belongs on teeth and Vaseline is not a magical acne treatment ✨

DIY skincare trends can sometimes do more harm than good by irritating your skin barrier, causing inflammation and potentially making acne and hyperpigmentation even worse.

Healthy skin is not built on random combinations from the bathroom cabinet and the pantry.It’s built on science, consistency and using products that are actually designed for your skin concerns.

Please stop putting your skin through relationship drama with TikTok trends 😭

Be honest... if you bumped into someone from school tomorrow, what would they say has changed the most about you? 😭👇🏽

For me, I’d like to think it’s the wisdom... but let’s be real, it’s probably the skincare 😌✨

While everyone else was collecting memories, I was also collecting sunscreen, treatments, retinoids and a healthy respect for collagen preservation 😂

In all seriousness, healthy, glowing skin doesn’t happen by accident. It’s usually the result of years of consistency, good habits and a little help from your dermatologist along the way 💛

Youth may be a gift, but taking care of your skin is a choice.

Today we recognise International Albinism Awareness Day 🫶🏽✨

Albinism is a rare, genetically inherited condition that is present from birth and is not contagious. But beyond the medical definition are real people with real stories, experiences, dreams and challenges.

Today is about celebrating individuality, raising awareness and standing for dignity, inclusion and equal human rights for people living with albinism 🌍

As a dermatologist, it is also a reminder of the importance of education around skin health, sun protection and access to care, particularly as people with albinism face a much higher risk of sun damage and skin cancer.

May we continue building a world where differences are understood, respected and celebrated 🌸

Winter can be a little harsh on your skin 🥶✨ Dryness, irritation and an impaired skin barrier become much more common this time of year, which is why keeping your skin hydrated and protected matters even more.

Some of my top moisturiser recommendations for dry skin, sensitive skin and a damaged skin barrier include:

👉🏽 .skin Repair
👉🏽 Cicaplast
👉🏽 Restorative Balm
👉🏽 Cicabio Crème
👉🏽 Cicalfate Repairing Protective Cream

A little reminder though 👀 Some richer creams and balms can feel amazing on dry skin, but if you are acne-prone or struggle with breakouts, not every product will suit your skin. Heavy formulations can sometimes worsen congestion in certain individuals, which is why choosing products according to your skin type is important.

If you are undergoing treatment from your doctor for acne, do not use these products before consulting.

Healthy winter skin is not about using the thickest cream you can find. It’s about supporting your skin barrier with the right products 🫶🏽

Listen… we all love a good discount 😅

But when it comes to your skin, dermatology treatments, aesthetic procedures and medical skincare, cheaper is not always better. Experience, safety, proper diagnosis and clinical expertise matter more than most people realise.

“We don’t compete with prices… we compete with experience.” 👩🏽‍⚕️

Behind every treatment is years of medical training, understanding of skin anatomy, ongoing education, hours of research and testing, science backup and a commitment to helping you achieve healthy skin safely and responsibly.

Your skin deserves more than a bargain. It deserves informed, professional care.

Watching your baby struggle with eczema can feel incredibly overwhelming, especially when you feel like you’ve already tried everything 🩷

Eczema in babies and children is very common and often shows up as dry, inflamed, itchy skin that can affect both their comfort and sleep. While there is no cure or a “one cream fixes all” approach, the right skincare routine and consistent barrier repair can make a significant difference in managing flare ups.

When home care products no longer seem to help, it is time to seek professional help, do not suffer alone.

Watch till the end for some of my most recommended barrier creams for dry or eczema- prone skin

National Skincare Education Day reminder:

Dermatology is so much more than facials and the pursuit of “glowing skin.” We diagnose and manage life-altering conditions like lupus, skin cancer, severe eczema, severe skin infections, acne, hair loss, pigment disorders and more.

Healthy skin is not just about appearance. It’s about comfort, function, healing and helping people feel more like themselves again.

The skin is the largest organ in the body —let’s treat it that way.
