Abstract
The skin of colour population is rising globally and practitioners are faced with an increasingly diverse footfall. Additionally, there are also increased demands for inclusivity in a vastly multi-cultural world. To satisfy these societal changes, it is important for practitioners to be competent in meeting the needs of all patient groups. From understanding the physiology of skin of colour to an appreciation of how culture, myths and expectations impact the conditions presented, as well as product and treatment selection, practitioners today need greater awareness to provide a superior and profitable service that meets the needs of all patients and stakeholders.
