𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗩𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗼 𝗗𝗮𝘆 - 𝟮𝟱 𝗝𝘂𝗻𝗲 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲
𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗺𝗲: 𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗦𝘁𝗶𝗴𝗺𝗮 𝘁𝗼 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗵

Every year on 25th June, we observe World Vitiligo Day to raise awareness about vitiligo, a rare autoimmune skin disorder causing loss of skin color in patches due to destruction of melanocytes. This day highlights the social stigma, mental challenges, and healthcare needs of those living with vitiligo.

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁?
Vitiligo affects about 1% of the global population, regardless of gender or ethnicity, mostly between ages 20-30. The day was first initiated in 2011 by VR Foundation and VITSAF to bring vitiligo into the spotlight. The chosen date honors Michael Jackson, who openly lived with vitiligo.

𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗺𝗲: 𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗦𝘁𝗶𝗴𝗺𝗮 𝘁𝗼 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗵
This year’s focus is transforming misunderstanding and shame into confidence and acceptance. It urges support from society and healthcare providers to replace stigma with inclusion and compassionate care.

𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗙𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘀:
- Cause: Autoimmune destruction of pigment cells, with genetics and other factors playing a role
- Symptoms: Whitish skin patches, premature whitening of hair, discoloration in mucous membranes and retina
- Treatment: No cure yet, but options include camouflage, repigmentation therapy, light therapy, and surgery

Let's stand together to support people with vitiligo—promoting awareness, empathy, and research.

Girls younger than 10 are now worrying about ageing and using anti ageing skincare products.

A new term, Cosmeticorexia, highlights a growing obsession with “perfect” skin fuelled by social media and unrealistic beauty standards.

When children start worrying about wrinkles before they’ve even reached puberty, something has gone badly wrong.

Grapes Seem To Be A Natural Sunscreen. Grapes trigger changes in skin genes that create stronger protections and lower oxidative stress after sunlight's UV exposure. References on my website. #SkinHealth #HealthyAging #NutritionScience #SunProtection #HealthySkin

Howard G. Smith MD, AM on Instagram: "Grapes Seem To Be A Natural Sunscreen Those who eat the equivalent of three servings of grapes a day for just two weeks show changes in their skin genes that create stronger protections and lower oxidative stress after UV exposure. This according to research by biologists and pharmacists at Western New England University published in the journal ACS Nutrition Science. Though each of the 29 participant’s genes responded differently, all showed measurable changes in skin gene expression after eating grapes with signs of increased skin barrier protection and lower levels of a marker tied to UV-related skin stress. The researchers add that previous studies have shown grapes can improve UV resistance in about 30% to 50% of people. So…. Make your summer’s fun in the sun safer by preventing ultraviolet rays from damaging your skin and triggering deadly skin cancers like melanoma. You do this by regularly slapping on sunscreens and sunblocks but also by regularly wolfing down handfuls of grapes. The references for this report are available on my website. #SkinHealth #HealthyAging #NutritionScience #SunProtection #HealthySkin"

Headline: When your body changes the rules, you change the routine. 🧴🩹

The Reality: After years of being "Smooth, Refined, and Polished," my medical journey has made my skin incredibly sensitive.

The Shift: My allergist recommended switching to these dye-free, fragrance-free basics. It’s not the glamour I’m used to, but it’s the care I need right now.
