This won't be our last summer to experience extreme heat. That also means we may need to be ever more vigilant about protecting sensitive skin from more frequent and intense sunlight.
In the audio above, we talk with dermatologist Dr. Oyetewa Oyerinde, director of the Skin of Color Clinic at Baylor College of Medicine.
Dr. Oyerinde debunks some myths about skin care products, some of which are helpful and some of which are, well, not.
She also weighs in on supplements that claim to improve your skin tone (Dr. Oyerinde says that, by and large, they don’t). And she fields listener questions about skin cancer screening and risks, including for people of color, and about the difference between retinol and retinoids.
