BREAKING NEW GROUND
The dream of reaching out to people of all ages, skin types and tones to spread awareness about managing winter skin came to life beautifully on the world’s first My Best Winter Skin (MBWS) Day on October 24 on Michigan Avenue in Chicago and on campus at Howard University. This year’s MBWS Day marked a thrilling start to a full-fledged seasonal campaign built around public education, volunteerism and giving to the SOCS Foundation to help support innovative research in skin of color dermatology.
The Sanofi-Regeneron Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Mid-Career Award will be available to three established investigators beginning in 2024; applications accepted beginning September 15, 2023
The Dermatology Foundation (DF) and the Skin of Color Society (SOCS) have partnered to create and deliver an impactful opportunity to advance health equity in the specialty of dermatology.
October 24 is international My Best Winter Skin (MBWS) Day! This unique holiday marks the beginning of a season of giving, education and volunteerism for SOCS members. In the coming months at numerous events around the world, SOCS members and advocates will distribute dermatologist-developed educational material and donated product samples to raise awareness about optimal winter skin care and generate donations to the SOCS Foundation. Donations will help support innovative research in skin of color dermatology.
The Skin of Color Society is now accepting applications for our 2024-2025 program year!
