THE FOUNDER
Why Beauty In Color exists.
I'm Dana, a skincare educator, eczema advocate, and founder of Beauty In Color. I built this platform because I spent years trying to apply mainstream skincare advice to skin that didn't fit the mold it was written for. My goal is to translate the science into guidance that's practical, specific, and actually useful, for skin like ours.
