I'm a bit confused about when exactly I should be using sunscreen. Do I really need to keep reapplying it all day long, even in the evening or at night? Or is it okay to skip it once the sun goes down?

It is necessary to use it all day long. Should we apply sunscreen even at evening and night time ?? Or no need to apply it after sunset.. Sunscreen should be applied every day, regardless of the time of day. It is recommended to apply sunscreen in the morning before going out and to reapply every 2 hours, especially if you are outdoors. Even in the evening and at night, if you are going to be exposed to artificial light sources such as fluorescent bulbs or screens, it is advisable to continue using sunscreen to protect your skin from harmful UV rays.

View allI've noticed that my upper lip is quite dark, and the skin at the corners of my lips seem darker too. Plus, my lips are constantly dry and chapped no matter what time of year it is. Is there any way to permanently fix these issues?
Yes, these problems can be effectively managed and potentially cured with a combination of topical treatments, lifestyle changes, and professional interventions, such as using lip balms with SPF, exfoliating with sugar or salt scrubs, applying turmeric or lemon juice to reduce hyperpigmentation, and consulting a dermatologist for chemical peels, microdermabrasion, or laser treatments to address persistent issues.

My hair has been falling out for about six years now, and I'm only 29. I began using Tugain 10 solution a year ago, but sometimes I forget to apply it regularly. It's been a whole year, but my hair is still falling out every day. I really want to find a way to stop this hair loss and hopefully grow new hair. What would you suggest I do?
Minoxidil 5. for local application ,once daily for 3-6 weeks is advised, tab finasteride 5 mg once daily for 3-6 weeks is advised to the patient.

I've been noticing a lot more hair fall over the last month, and its really worrying me. It seems like my hair's getting thinner, and it hasn't been growing as long as it used to. I wash my hair with shampoo every day, but I don't use any oil. Could this be because of not getting enough protein or something else?
