November is right around the corner, and National Healthy Skin Month is a wonderful excuse to take an extra-close look at your day-to-day skincare regimen.

"The most important part of National Healthy Skin Month is the reminder of the necessity for routine screening," says Dr. Sanjiv Saini of MD Dermatology. "Early detection and treatment is essential. If you see anything suspicious, make an appointment with a dermatologist immediately."
