🌸 Spring acne flare-ups are real…

Warmer weather can mean increased perspiration, oil production and blocked pores, all of which may trigger or worsen breakouts.

If your acne keeps returning, avoid squeezing, scrubbing or experimenting with harsh products. Acne is a medical skin condition, and the right treatment plan can help control active breakouts while reducing the risk of pigmentation and scarring.

Book a consultation with Dr Roxanne de Silva, Dermatologist in Windhoek, for professional advice tailored to your skin.

While you were scrolling… your skin was busy renewing itself! ✨

Our bodies naturally shed thousands of dead skin cells every minute, but when they build up, skin may start to look dry, dull or uneven.

Gentle exfoliation can support healthy skin renewal, but more is not always better. The correct treatment depends on your skin type and concerns especially if you struggle with sensitivity, acne or pigmentation.

For professional dermatological advice, book with Dr Roxanne de Silva.

The pigmentation season starts now ☀️

As Windhoek’s warmer, sunnier days return, pigmentation and melasma can become more noticeable. UV exposure, heat and hormones can all contribute to uneven skin tone and dark patches.

The best results begin with a professional diagnosis and a personalised treatment plan, supported by consistent, high-protection sunscreen and the correct home care.

Start early. Treat correctly. Protect daily.

Spring is here! 🌸
Before you swap your winter wardrobe and head into the sunshine, there is one crucial health task for your list: a comprehensive mole check.

Winter layers make it easy to miss subtle skin changes. Before sun exposure increases, check your skin using the ABCDE guide:

Asymmetry: One half does not match the other.
Border: Edges are irregular, ragged, or blurred.
Colour: The spot has shades of brown, black, red, or blue.
Diameter: Larger than 6mm (a pencil eraser).
Evolving: Changing in size, shape, or color.

Early detection is your skin’s best defense. Notice a changing spot or an “ugly duckling” mole? Have it professionally evaluated.
Protect your skin this season.

Hair thinning can happen gradually and you may only notice it once your parting widens or your scalp becomes more visible.

Possible causes include hormonal changes, stress, illness, nutritional deficiencies, genetics and certain scalp conditions. The earlier the cause is identified, the sooner an appropriate treatment plan can begin.

Book a hair and scalp assessment with dermatologist Dr Roxanne de Silva in Windhoek.

Not every skincare trend deserves a place in your routine. ✨

Dermatologists focus on proven ingredients, skin safety and what your individual skin actually needs, not viral products or one-size-fits-all routines.

Before trying the latest trend, seek professional advice. Your skin deserves evidence-based care.

Psoriasis is more than dry skin, it’s a chronic inflammatory condition that can cause thick, scaly patches, itching, burning and discomfort.

Although there is no cure, the right treatment can help control flare-ups and improve your skin. Because psoriasis can resemble other skin conditions, an accurate diagnosis by a dermatologist is important.
