You’ve heard it before, but here’s the truth: yes, you need SPF indoors. 💡 UVA rays (the aging rays) go right through windows — in your home, your office, your car. They don’t cause sunburn, so you won’t notice them… but they break down collagen, trigger pigmentation, worsen melasma, and speed up visible aging. Blue light from screens? The research is mixed, but for people with melasma or hyperpigmentation, sunscreen can help protect against dark spots. Bottom line: ✨ If you’re near a window ✨ Driving ✨ Or dealing with pigmentation issues …SPF is non-negotiable. 👉 Want simple, science-backed skin tips? Follow for daily derm advice!

Toenail fungus is super common — but not everything that looks like fungus actually is. Prevention is your best defense (think sandals in gyms, hotels and locker rooms + reputable pedicures). If it is fungus, treatments exist — oral + topical options — but they take time because toenails grow SO slowly. Think many months, not weeks. If your nail is thick, yellow, or lifting, get it checked by a derm or podiatrist first. Half of these cases aren’t actually fungus, and getting the right diagnosis saves a LOT of frustration. 👉 Want more derm education? Hit follow so you don’t miss the next one.

Not all wrinkles are created equal — and they shouldn’t all be treated the same way. Crow’s feet, forehead lines, under-eye creases, and sleep lines each form for different reasons… which means they respond best to different techniques. 🧠✨ That’s why a professional evaluation with a dermatologist or plastic surgeon is so important. The treatment you think you need might not be the one that actually gives you the best (and most natural) results. A tailored plan a trendy treatment every time. 💉💛 💬 Curious what type of wrinkle you’re dealing with? Drop your questions below!

You’ve heard of the classic retinol sandwich… but the open-faced version is my favorite way to level up without overwhelming your skin. ✨ How it works: Use one layer of moisturizer and one layer of retinol — in either order. Moisturizer → retinol or Retinol → moisturizer Whatever your skin prefers. This gives you more retinol exposure than the classic sandwich but still offers that buffer to reduce irritation. It’s perfect when you’re ready to step up your routine without stepping into redness or peeling. 💬 How do you apply your retinol — before or after moisturizer?
