Atopic dermatitis, a chronic form of eczema, often manifests as red, itchy, dry, and flaky skin patches, particularly on the face.

Commonly affected areas include those with creases or friction, like around the eyes and mouth.

Dr. Kiran Mian explains that this condition is caused by a compromised skin barrier due to a lack of certain proteins, making the skin more sensitive and prone to flare-ups.

Understanding the causes, symptoms, and treatment options is crucial for managing facial atopic dermatitis and achieving clearer, more comfortable skin.

Holiday season is the perfect time to complement your festive attire with themed nail designs.

Options range from metallic Santa Claus motifs, embracing the trend of metallic nails, to elegant neutrals with a holiday twist.

You can also opt for playful designs like Grinch motifs or sweet candy cane and gingerbread patterns.

For a specific idea, consider the Noel manicure, which spells out 'NOEL' in large golden letters across your fingers, each adorned with snow and holly berries, adding a festive touch to your seasonal look.

Recovery days are crucial in any fitness routine to prevent injuries and maintain performance.

Luke Zocchi, Head Trainer on Chris Hemsworth’s fitness app Centr, advises that signs you need a recovery day include feeling unusually tired or experiencing minor injuries.

The frequency of recovery days varies depending on your fitness level and how your body feels post-workout.

Active recovery, like walking or gentle yoga, is beneficial, as is stretching, especially focusing on areas worked hard during exercise.

Centr's Recovery Kit, with tools like a massage roller and foam roller, aids in muscle relief.

Recovery also involves post-workout practices, including proper nutrition, hydration, and sleep.

Taking time to wind down and regulate breathing after a workout can significantly enhance recovery.
