Kalyn’s Blog

As I approach my “1 year anniversary” to working in dermatology, I am very excited about this blog! I have to admit off the bat that I have not always been diligent about avoiding the harmful effects of sun…(I did used to go to the tanning bed occasionally and lay out with only 8 SPF..gasp!) Yes, I realize I probably shouldn’t actually admit that on here, but hopefully you will understand a little about where I am coming from and I hope to be able to pass along the eye-opening effects of what the UV rays from sun and tanning beds actually do to our skin that I have learned along my journey, and currently see on a day-to-day basis with patients. My goal is that you will at least think twice before going into the sun without at least 30 SPF and a wide-brimmed hat. They can actually be quite stylish! I quickly learned so many important aspects of skin care working here and attending various programs and dermatology conferences. I hope this blog offers both insight and advice into various aspects of skin care including great products and tips that I have and am still discovering along the way. I also hope to touch on various other aspects of dermatology including acne, anti-aging, eczema, and other interesting skin issues that I may stumble upon. I appreciate your patience as this is my first “blogging” experience. Check back in soon for my first post!
