THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO SUNSCREEN: Best for WOC + Kids + So much more with Dr. Nina Desai

My girl Dr. Nina and I have been starting a series where we do IG Live sessions about some hot topics you ladies are interested in. The goal is to then have it also captured in a Youtube video where it lives forever and a blog post so you can easily refer back to all the info we provide.
With Summer right around the corner, we thought it would be a great time to go over everything related to sun protection. Although regardless of the season, everyone should be protecting their skin year round!
Our Youtube video covers everything from why we need SPF, how to reapply throughout the day when you have a full face already on, the best products for your kids, and the best budget friendly options.

And below, we’re listing Dr. Nina’s favorites for our fellow Women Of Color:
