New sunscreen review!☀️
SkinCeuticals recently launched their Clear Daily Soothing UV Defense. This sunscreen is targeted towards redness-prone skin.
It’s a hybrid sunscreen, so it’s a blend of mineral and chemical filters. It also contains soothing and calming ingredients like bisabolol.
I don’t personally have redness-prone skin (except for my nose!), but I found that the sunscreen left little to no white cast and felt light and comfortable on my skin. It even gave my skin a bit of a glow which I prefer over a matte finish. I would definitely will be using this one again in my rotation and I look forward to hearing feedback from some of my patients with rosacea, sensitive skin and redness-prone skin. If you have sensitive skin and a favorite sunscreen you’d like to share, drop a comment below! I’m always open to testing new sunscreens.
Stay tuned for my review of the new Allies of Skin sunscreen!
*I was gifted this sunscreen as part of my Advisory role with . This review is not sponsored.

I layer a moisturizer under my sunscreen all summer long.
Why? Here are 2 reasons to consider layering moisturizer under your sunscreen:
✅ You have dry, sensitive skin—that extra layer can help protect your skin barrier and keep your skin hydrated throughout the day.
✅ If you’re someone who prefers to use mineral only sunscreens, you might find that some make your skin feel dry. People with oily skin often like that matte look, but if you have normal or dry skin, then adding a moisturizing cream under these sunscreens can feel more comfortable and keep your skin looking dewy, not dry.
Do you use a moisturizer under sunscreen? I do because I fall into the first category - I have dry skin and live by my moisturizer, Bowe Glowe Cream. I layer my Asta C Vitamin C serum, then Bowe Glowe Cream, then I get dressed and finally apply my sunscreen as the final step.

Retinoids are not one size fits all.
Not every product is going to work for every person. I share this a lot here because even as a dermatologist, my sensitive skin can tolerate certain retinoids better than others. I’ve tried many different methods (eg: layering a cream under my retinoid) and many different strengths of retinoids.
I’ve landed on retiNAL with an AL as opposed to retiNOL with an OL. I can use it 3 nights back to back in my routine and then, my skin needs one recovery night. Some people can use Tretinoin night after night and that works for their skin. It does not work for my skin and that’s okay!
If you want to try the one I personally use, which is the one I formulated with my team at DWB Beauty, we’re having our annual Skinvestment Savings Event so it’s 25% off (see link in bio).
If you want a six-pack, you have to push through the burn. If you want healthy skin, you do NOT have to push through the burn, no matter what you have heard in the past.
Retinoids are a situation where you can learn to listen to your skin and you can start slow and level up when your skin is ready, and as your skin is able to.

☀️4 Sunscreens I’ve been using on rotation and recommending to my patients:
Beauty of Joseon SPF 50 + To me, this feels like skincare. It layers beautifully over Bowe Glowe and under makeup. This has been one of my favorites for a while now. I order on stylevana.com.
Naked Sundays Water Gel Serum is lightweight and may be a new favorite if you have oily or acne prone skin. Also pretty invisible- so works for a wide range of skin tones.
EltaMD UV Clear comes in tinted and now a deep tint as well. This gives you a little bit more of a hybrid experience, where you get a bit more of blurring and color correction. So, for those days when you want some coverage, it’s a good option.
Skinceuticals just came out with a new sunscreen called Clear Daily which is good for sensitive, mature skin. It can feel a little bit heavy if you have more combination or oily skin but a nice option for my sensitive, dry girlies.

It’s and there’s no better time to focus on healing your skin from prior sun damage and being proactive about healthy skin.
In my teens - way before I thought about being a dermatologist - I went to tanning beds and even used tanning oils. My skin was not headed in a good direction and I have so many scars from biopsies and surgeries to remove concerning moles. BUT I turned things around and so can you- it’s never too late to start focusing on your skin health.
Skincare tips I swear by on this Melanoma Monday:
• Vit C serum and sunscreen every morning.
• If I’m outside I’m wearing a baseball cap or my Wanderlust sun visor.
• I wear UPF 50+ tops to play tennis and golf and rashguards when I’m swimming or walking at the beach. Some of my favorite brands are and .
• My PM skincare routine cycles between exfoliating acid serum and retinal, which I use 3 nights in a row to help me reverse years of sun damage. I use Exfoliation Night and RetiNAL Night.
I know you’re going to ask, so some of my favorite sunscreens are: Rice + Probiotic Sunscreen, UV Clear and the Eryfotona Actinica Daily Lightweight Mineral SPF 50+ Sunscreen.

You don’t need to overhaul your skincare routine in spring. Instead, you can level up a few choice products in your routine to get even better results.
Which products? Let’s focus on 2 - retinoids and Vitamin C serum.
Spring is a great time to level up your retinoid nights to 2-3 nights in a row, which might be a step up from what you’re used to if you’re new to retinoids or have sensitive skin, like I do. If you can use your retinoid even more frequently, you do you!
When it comes to Vitamin C, I couldn’t use L-ascorbic acid, the older most active form of vit C, twice a day on my sensitive skin. I got red and irritated. I am, however, able to use my Asta C twice a day on my skin and I’m seeing great results. My skin looks so much brighter and smoother overall.
And - don’t undo all of your hard work by forgetting sunscreen in the AM as you’re heading out! (If my sister is reading this, and you should be, I’m lookin at you!)

Prone to hyperpigmentation? Listen up!
These masks have generated some pretty classic social media videos at the unlikely intersection of skincare and serial killers. IYKYK.
But seriously, I get so many questions about red light therapy, especially from my patients who are prone to melasma and hyperpigmentation in general.
If your skin starts to feel warm during a treatment- think twice! This type of treatment, whether it’s in-office or at home, shouldn’t involve heat if you are prone to unwanted dark spots. If the wavelength of light is creating heat, that can trigger pigment producing cells in your skin to pump out more melanin.
Some fast facts about this non-invasive treatment:
Unlike UV light which is associated with skin cancer and premature and accelerated aging, LED light is different.
Red LED lights induce changes in the skin through a process known as photo-biomodulation, which doesn’t require injury or trauma.
The light interacts with the skin to stimulate regeneration, healing, and repair of skin cells and supports our healthy collagen production and skin elasticity.
Are you also seeing these masks all over your social feed?

Oily, acne prone skin? Yes, you should be using a moisturizer. But, let’s back up. Here are three steps that I recommend to my patients with oily, acne prone skin:
✅Step 1: Consider a gel-based cleanser, ideally with salicylic acid for oil control and acne breakouts. On days when your skin feels especially dry from other treatments like retinoids, you can reach a gentle creamy cleanser. Then, switch back. Here’s a product I like for this: Renewing SA Cleanser
✅Step 2: Once your skin adjusts to the cleanser, you can Incorporate a leave-on toner or serum with salicylic acid. If there’s no irritation, you can gradually increase usage to twice a day. Here’s a product I like for this: Paula's Choice SKIN PERFECTING 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant.
✅Step 3: Now, let’s talk about moisturizers. Introduce a gel cream moisturizer in the morning to maintain a healthy skin barrier. Before bedtime, introduce a retinoid like Differin. I’d suggest alternating between the salicylic acid products and the retinoid, then increasing the frequency of retinoid, as your skin adjusts. The goal is to use the retinoid as often as possible (without irritation, of course).

The sun’s been shining, it feels like spring, and I can FEEL my mood lifting. Let’s talk about some of my favorite spring skincare as I share the latest delivery from - lots of florals this time.
Spring skincare Tip: 2 of my favorite products in spring are an exfoliating serum to brighten skin, even skin tone and smooth texture (PM - I don’t use more than 2x per week) and Vitamin C serum to address discoloration, brighten skin overall, and to help fight free radical damage (AM + PM, I worked up to using twice a day). A lot of people ask me if it’s safe to use your Vitamin C serum in the morning and whether it makes your skin more sensitive to the sun. Not only can you use your vitamin c serum in the morning, it’s beneficial to do so because it partners well with sunscreen. Sunscreen is not a magic barrier and layering Vit C beneath can help neutralize the extra free radicals that form despite diligent use of sunscreen! They are the perfect pair to layer every morning.

Come refresh your spring skincare on with me!
Literally jumping off my screen are three of my favorites from :
Bowe Glowe Cream:
My desert island 🏝️ pick. This is the foundation of your skincare routine and is clinically proven to help repair your skin barrier in one hour.
Asta C:
It’s been called the Goldilocks of vitamin C serums for a reason! Spring is the perfect time to let your glowing skin take center stage and Asta C checks all the boxes for bright, healthy skin.
Retinal Night:
While I can’t tolerate Tretinoin, and I have tried, my skin does beautifully with RetinAL which is 10x more bioavailable than Retinol.
Which one would you try first? Which is your favorite?
I loved your feedback on my AM skincare layering video, where I shared my skincare staples and “bonus” or “extra credit” layers. This video is all about how I layer my PM skincare and I build out when to use the extra credit layers in detail below.
Here’s how I layer my PM skincare staples:
Step 1: Cleanse (or double cleanse if you’re wearing water resistant sunscreen or heavy makeup)
Step 2: Treat with active skincare staples. This is where I choose skincare staples that target specific skin concerns. For me, I like to focus on 2 active skincare staples max per night. I skin cycle, meaning alternating between a leave on exfoliating acid serum(Night 1), my retinoid (Nights 2-4 because I do advanced skin cycling), and recovery night (Night 5) where I do not use either. My 2nd active skincare staple I use every night is my vit C serum. More on how to layer that below.
Step 3: Moisturize (I use my Bowe Glowe cream)
**Back to how to layer Vitamin C serum.
I use Vitamin C serum both morning and night. I personally use DWB Beauty’s Asta C and I’m able to use it twice a day, even on my retinoid nights, exfoliation nights and recovery nights. I layer it differently on those nights like this:
Exfoliation Night: exfoliating acid serum (I use Exfoliation Night), then Asta C, then move on to Step 3.
Retinoid Night: Asta C, then your retinoid (I use Retinal Night), then move on to Step 3.
**Adding in bonus or “extra credit” skincare layers:
Hydrating Essence, Hyaluronic Acid serum, Peptide serum: right after cleansing
Eye cream: before or after your active serums. I use my eye cream before my active skincare staple step.
Recovery balm: on top of moisturizer, either on dry spots or all over.
