Deep Dive: Splurge vs Save
Dr. Michelle Wong & Amy tell us how to divide your skincare budget up so we get the best bang for your buck! Dr. Michelle Wong tells us how brands decide on the cost of products, the one active that she thinks you can really save on, plus, Amy & Dr. Michelle Wong's Splurge VS Save recommendations. It's important to note that everyone's version of affordable is different so keep that in mind. 
 
Q: I have started using products targeting pigmentation but I am noticing more dark spots. Can it get worse before it gets better?
Dr. Michelle Wong explains why this could be happening, and why a lot of fading products can make you more sensitive to the sun. Remember, SPF is a non-negotiable, so Slip, Slop, Slap!
