Dr Dray is a Board Certified Dermatologist and skincare enthusiast based in Houston, TX. She has built a strong presence on Youtube and other social media platforms where she answers her followers' most pressing skincare questions. 

1. What is your favorite thing about your job?I like helping patients understand their skin conditions so that they can better manage triggers and modify their skin care routines accordingly. When it comes to chronic diseases, knowledge is power and patients like being able to take control of their skin issues beyond their medications.

2. If you could make all your patients pick up one skincare habit, what would it be? Sunscreen! It makes the biggest difference long term.

3. And if you could make them drop one bad skincare habit, what would it be? Tanning. Nothing destroys the skin faster than a sun tan or a trip to the tanning bed.

What are the best skincare routines for the 3 main life stages: 20s, 30s-40s, 50+? Sunscreen, moisturizer, cleanser. Keeping things simple is the best thing for skin across all age groups and is the most sustainable.

What is your goal on Tik Tok next year 😊? Or what do you most enjoy about Tik Tok? The TikTok audience is a younger demographic compared to those who follow me on Instagram and Youtube. I hope to tap into this group to influence them to protect their skin from the sun. The younger these habits start, the greater the long term benefits.

Dr Dray sums it up best in her bio, "don't forget to sunscreen and subscribe for more!":

Is Natural Tanning Bad for You?

Let’s settle this for good: a tan isn’t “healthy color.” Not even a little. A light tan might look radiant, but what you’re seeing is your skin responding to UV damage. When UV exposure hits, melanin production spikes in self-defense—darkening the skin to try to prevent even more injury. That golden-hour glow people chase? It’s a red flag, not a wellness win. The good news: you don’t need UV damage to get that luminous look. Tinted sunscreens, daily moisturizers with SPF, and modern makeup alternatives deliver believable, healthy-looking radiance—minus the risk. So go ahead, glow smarter and keep your skin protected.

Sun Damage: Beyond Wrinkles

Sun damage affects more than just your skin’s surface. While wrinkles are the most visible sign, UV exposure also harms collagen, disrupts your skin’s immune defense, triggers dark spots, changes texture, and can even damage DNA, increasing the risk of skin cancer. UVA rays penetrate deep and cause aging, while UVB rays burn the surface. Prevention is key: daily broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30+), reapplication, and coverage of often-forgotten areas like eyes, lips, and hands protect both appearance and health. Modern formulas, including tinted and mineral options, combine UV protection with hydration and antioxidants to defend, correct, and restore skin. Consistent sun care preserves skin’s firmness, radiance, and long-term health—because stopping damage before it starts is the smartest beauty move.
