My Best Winter Skin Day

Founded by The Skin of Color Society (SOCS) and its Foundation, My Best Winter Skin Day raises awareness and offers advice on how to properly care for your skin so that you can look and feel your best during times of harsh winter weather. The holiday also raises funds to further support educational research specific to skin of color dermatology.

Winter skin is a dermatologic condition that impacts all people regardless of age, skin type, or tone. Colder and drier air draws moisture from the skin, causing it to become dry, cracked, itchy, or even bleed. My Best Winter Skin Day is an opportunity to discover how to prevent, manage, and deal with winter skin.

Whether you’re receiving expert advice on managing your skin, partaking in fundraising activities for SOCS, or adopting new skincare habits as part of your routine, My Best Winter Skin Day encourages you to get involved and help raise awareness on how winter can impact the body’s largest organ.

International Allyship Day

International Allyship Day is celebrated annually on August 8. This holiday dedicates the day to celebrating and promoting the power of allyship across the globe. On this unique day, we come together to recognize the importance of standing up for one another, fostering inclusivity, and building bridges of support and understanding.

Dictionary.com defines allyship as the status or role of a person who advocates and actively works for the inclusion of a marginalized or politicized group in all areas of society, not as a member of that group but in solidarity with its struggle and point of view and under its leadership: Genuine allyship does not come with special recognition — we do not get awards for confronting issues people have to live with every day.
