Gurugram, Haryana | 16 July 2026: Reinforcing its commitment to preventive skincare and community wellbeing during UV Safety Month, dermatologist-prescribed skincare brand Fixderma conducted an interactive skincare education programme for children and teenagers at Pehchan NGO, encouraging them to develop healthy sun protection habits from an early age.
The initiative focused on introducing young participants to the basics of skin health, helping them understand the impact of everyday sun exposure, the importance of year-round UV protection and the role simple daily skincare habits play in maintaining healthy skin over time. Through interactive discussions and engaging demonstrations, the session encouraged children to view skincare not as a cosmetic practice, but as an essential part of overall health and self-care.
To reinforce these learnings, Fixderma distributed Shadow SPF 50 Gel Kids, its sunscreen specially formulated for children, while demonstrating the correct way to apply sunscreen and explaining how small daily habits can help protect the skin during outdoor activities, school hours and playtime.
The programme concluded with a creative workshop that encouraged children to express what they had learnt in their own unique way. Using paper, colours and their imagination, participants designed sunscreen packaging inspired by the day’s session, creating vibrant illustrations, catchy taglines and thoughtful messages promoting sun safety. The activity not only strengthened their understanding of UV protection but also encouraged creativity, collaboration and confident self-expression.
Commenting on the initiative, Shaily Mehrotra, CEO & Co-Founder, Fixderma & FCL, said: “The way children understand health today shapes the habits they carry into adulthood. That is why conversations around skincare and sun protection should begin early, before misconceptions take root and preventive care becomes an afterthought. Through this initiative, we wanted to make skin health easy to understand, engaging and relevant to their everyday lives. What made the experience truly rewarding was seeing the children participate with such curiosity, ask thoughtful questions and express their learning with remarkable creativity. Moments like these remind us that education is most effective when it inspires involvement rather than simply sharing information. At Fixderma, we believe skincare extends beyond products and clinics. It also means creating opportunities for people to learn, build awareness and make informed choices that support their well-being for years to come.”
As a dermatologist-led skincare brand, Fixderma believes that preventive skincare begins with education. By taking science-backed skin health awareness beyond clinics and into communities, the brand aims to equip young individuals with practical knowledge that supports informed choices and lifelong healthy habits.
Through initiatives like these, Fixderma continues to strengthen its commitment to community wellbeing by making skincare education more accessible, encouraging responsible sun-safe practices and inspiring the next generation to prioritise skin health with confidence.
