A Derm’s Guide To Sun Damage, Melasma & Dark Spots

Youbies: we’re switching things up this week! Q&A will drop in your feed tomorrow (Tuesday).

Today we’re re-sharing this timely interview from OG You Beauty host Erin Docherty with dermatologist, Dr. Ryan DeCruz about what to do about the impact of the sun on our skin.

One of the most common questions we get this time of year is about sun damage and pigmentation, because even if you’re wearing your SPF every day (as you should), warm weather and enjoying your summer out and about can impact your skin.

We’re diving into the best ways to manage sun damage, dark spots, and redness, plus the best product recommendations. Enjoy!
