Skincare 101 with Dr. Tia Paul

Flora Sinha

Hey Beyond Listeners! In this episode, we dive into the world of skincare with the amazing Dr. Tia Paul, a board-certified dermatologist who’s all about evidence-based skincare, especially for people with melanated skin! Dr. Paul shares her inspiring journey of becoming a dermatologist and starting her own practice—talk about goals!

We chat about everything from the shift from makeup to skincare (it’s the glow-up we all need), to why sunscreen is a must for everyone, regardless of skin tone. Dr. Paul debunks some major myths, like “Do people with darker skin really need sunscreen?” (Spoiler alert: YES!) and breaks down common skin issues like hyperpigmentation, acne, and eczema, especially in the South Asian community.

Plus, we get into the nitty-gritty of dark under-eye circles, excess body hair, and which ingredients you should be reaching for in your preventative skincare routine. Tune in to this episode for all the skincare real talk you’ve been waiting for!
