SkinLabs Knowledge Hub
Real answers. Evidence-backed guidance. Built for South African skin, climate and routines.
SkinLabs provides educational skincare information, not medical diagnosis or treatment. Persistent symptoms, severe reactions, unusual lesions and significant skin concerns should be assessed by a qualified healthcare professional.
Routines
Often, yes. In humid summer conditions — especially coastal regions — lighter gel moisturisers usually do the job. In dry inland winters, richer creams with occlusives make more sense. Sunscreen stays non-negotiable year-round either way; UV doesn't take winter off.
