Here’s how I clean my makeup brushes properly at home 🧴

1. Fill a clean bowl with lukewarm water, about three-quarters full.

2. Add a small amount of Bioscrub and micellar water. The Bioscrub removes bacteria while micellar water lifts makeup, sunscreen, and oil buildup.

3. Soak brushes for 5 minutes.

4. Rinse gently under lukewarm water until it runs clear.

5. Wash each brush individually with a fragrance-free soap, lather in your palm, swirl only the bristles, and rinse well.

6. Gently squeeze out excess water.

7. Lay flat and air-dry for 12 to 24 hours away from direct sunlight.

Clean brushes mean fewer breakouts and healthier skin.

Without melanin, the skin is extremely vulnerable to sunburn, UV damage and skin cancer, yet many people with albinism still lack access to proper protection and care.

Dermatology is about empathy, education and helping every patient protect the skin they live in. 🤎

We're always thinking deeper. 👀

Uhmmm... I can try. 😂

I get it. It’s quick to snap a photo of a skin concern and send it through.
But a photo can’t show texture, borders, depth or how it feels, all of which matter when making a diagnosis.

That’s why most skin concerns need an in-person check before we can safely treat them.

If you’re worried about something on your skin, rather book a consult so we can see it properly and start the right treatment.

As a dermatologist, I think people are often surprised by how simple my own routine really is.

I wash my hair almost every day and no, that doesn’t make it fall out more. “Training” your scalp? Just a myth.💆‍♀️

Chocolate? It’s not automatically bad for your skin (which is good news for all of us 🍫). Everything in moderation.

I only double cleanse on the days I wear makeup, and I definitely don’t follow a 10-step skincare routine. Just a few well-chosen products I use consistently.

The truth is, good skin isn’t about doing more it’s about doing what actually works, and sticking to it.

The best SPF? The one you’ll actually wear.
Find a texture you like, apply it daily, and reapply when needed. Consistency matters more than chasing the “perfect” formula. 🤎

Choose one you enjoy using, and it becomes the best one for your skin.
