7:32 Empowerment Sentuhan
Skin health education for women, parents and children, run by Consultant Dermatologist Dr Kartini Farah Rahim through talks, television and online videos.
Why skin health education matters
Eczema in babies, acne and pigmentation in women, and other common skin problems affect sleep, school, work and confidence. Families who understand these conditions tend to seek help earlier and avoid products that make things worse.
Topics Dr Kartini covers include:
- Caring for babies’ and children’s skin
- Living with eczema and managing flares
- Moisturisers and the skin barrier
- Choosing skincare safely, and the risks of unregistered creams
- Skin changes linked to hormones and pregnancy
- Coping with a visible skin condition
Some of these programmes have been run with support from skincare companies. Dr Kartini’s medical content does not recommend specific brands.
