Skin Alphabet A–Z: 26 Things I Taught in 700 Blogs

Skin Alphabet A–Z: 26 Things I Taught in 700 Blogs

After writing 700 skin blogs, I realized something fun—almost every important skin lesson can be explained through the alphabet. So, here’s a simple A–Z of skin wisdom that I’ve shared over the years.

⸻

A – Acne

It’s not just “teenage pimples.” It needs patience, the right treatment, and lifestyle changes.

B – Barrier

Your skin barrier is your shield. Over-cleansing and harsh scrubs can damage it.

C – Sunscreen (Call it ‘Cream of Protection’)

The single most important skincare step for everyone, every day.

D – Dandruff

It’s not about “dirty scalp”—it’s yeast + oil + sensitivity.

E – Eczema

Often linked with triggers like food, weather, or stress. Scratching only worsens it.

F – Fungal Infections

They spread fast in heat, sweat, and shared spaces—don’t ignore.

G – Glow

Real glow comes from healthy skin, not from instant fairness creams.

H – Hair Fall

Sometimes normal, but sudden or patchy hair fall can signal health issues.

I – Itching

If it keeps coming back, it’s not “normal.” It may need medical care.

J – Juvenile Skin Problems

Kids get more rashes in summer—most are harmless, but some need a doctor.

K – Keratosis Pilaris

Those “chicken skin” bumps on arms are common and harmless.

L – Laser Treatments

Safe and effective when done by professionals, but aftercare matters.

M – Moisturizer

Not just for winters—hydration is needed in every season.

N – Nails

Your fingernails can reveal health issues like anemia, diabetes, or infections.

O – Oil

Oiling hair doesn’t cure baldness—it just nourishes scalp and reduces dryness.

P – Psoriasis

A long-term condition that needs consistent treatment, not quick fixes.

Q – Quick Fixes

They don’t exist in dermatology. Consistency always wins.

R – Rashes

Common, but never ignore recurring or spreading rashes.

S – Steroids

Strong medicines—life-saving when prescribed, dangerous when misused for fairness.

T – Tanning

Your body’s natural defense against the sun, but too much = damage.

U – Ubtan

Traditional packs are not always safe—overuse can cause irritation.

V – Vitiligo

Not contagious, not “curse.” It’s a medical condition that needs support.

W – Wrinkles

Natural with age, but sun exposure makes them appear earlier.

X – Xerosis

The medical term for extremely dry skin—common in winters.

Y – Youthful Skin

It’s not about expensive creams but about sun protection, sleep, and healthy habits.

Z – Zinc

An important nutrient for acne control, hair growth, and overall skin health.
