The habits identified by Dr. Bunick can affect anyone, but individuals with sensitive skin or those frequently exposed to harsh environmental conditions may be at greater risk. Prolonged sun exposure without adequate SPF protection can lead to skin damage and increase the risk of melanoma. Similarly, long or hot showers strip the skin of its natural oils, leaving it dry and prone to irritation. The use of harsh chemical products can further inflame and harm the skin barrier, exacerbating dehydration. These risks highlight the need for mindful skincare practices to prevent long-term damage and maintain overall skin health.
