Relief, fatigue, gratitude, unfinished goals, quiet hopes. The end of a year is not a finish line. It is a pause. A breath. A moment where the noise softens enough for us to ask one honest question: How did my body, skin, and mind carry me this year? Health and beauty are not seasonal trends.

Vitiligo: Understanding Skin Pigment Loss Knowledge supports confidence Skin tells stories. For some people, those stories include lighter patches that appear over time. Vitiligo is a non-contagious skin condition that causes loss of pigment, leading to white patches on different parts of the body.
