When I’m not going to be showering immediately, I at least want to bring moisture back to my hair. So my little low-maintenance hack is to bring an all over body oil that you can put on your strands before you can get to washing.

Healthy hair starts with protecting both your strands AND your scalp—especially on vacation.

Save this for your next beach day + comment HAIR for my low maintenance hair product recommendations!

What my skin ATE for dinner - As a 34 yo Dermatology PA

I evolved my skin routine to what my skin needs and try not to over do it. I avoid my retinoid on nights I use my exfoliating acids, and when my skin is feeling dehydrated, I skip it all and go straight to a barrier cream.

Hyperpigmentation is triggered by visible light as much as UV—and that’s where iron oxides come in. Unlike traditional sunscreens that mainly protect against UV, iron oxides protect against visible light, which is a major driver of stubborn pigmentation like melasma and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). Tinted sunscreens and foundations containing iron oxides create a protective barrier that helps prevent dark spots from worsening while supporting treatment results.

If you’re treating hyperpigmentation, broad-spectrum SPF + iron oxides is essential—not optional.

Personally, I don’t wear a ton of make-up so I prefer a good tinted sunscreen. Comment TINTED for a 🔗🔗

Healthier hair starts with the right brush

I didn’t realize how much using a boar hair brush can change my hair. Unlike plastic or metal brushes, boar bristles gently distribute your scalp’s natural oils from root to tip—leaving hair shinier, smoother, and less prone to breakage.

It also:

Reduces frizz
Supports natural shine
Gentle on the scalp
Perfect for daily brushing

If you want stronger, healthier-looking hair, this is the brush your routine is missing.

Want to give it a try? Comment BRUSH and I’ll send you a link to my exact one and some other more affordable options.

Niche things I do as a 34-year-old dermatology PA of almost 8 years

The last one is something I recently began doing when I realized one of the most common reason for darks circles is hyperpigmentation.

Also, if you have a “pimple” on your lip for more than a few weeks, it’s probably not a pimple, it’s time to see your derm.

Linked a few lip balm SPF options here! They would make great stocking stuffers for anyone!
