November is National Healthy Skin Month

The AAD launched the first National Healthy Skin Month in November 1997. Since then, it’s become an annual event in which the AAD and dermatologists:

• Emphasize the importance of good skin care
• Share tips that can lead to healthier skin, hair, and nails
• Ask Americans to take time to pay attention to their skin and adopt healthy habits to care for their skin, hair, and nails

Everybody needs good skin care — from newborns to people more than 100 years old. That’s why National Healthy Skin Month is everyone’s awareness month.
