How to Get Dermatologist-Like Advice at Sephora

Of course you know you should go to the derm once a year (and we can't stress enough how important it is), but a recent study found that 60 percent of women have actually never been to a skin doctor. And unless they have a serious problem or concern, they may never make an appointment -- even if they aren't happy with their skin care routine.


To help women who need basic skin care advice, DDF invented a new special device called the Skin Evaluation System. It attaches to an iPhone and takes photos of the skin at a microscopic level. The photos are then assessed by a computer program, which suggests the best treatment regimen. Unfortunately, it's not as simple as downloading an app -- but almost: DDF representatives are now available at Sephora stores around the country. You can check out the schedule on Facebook -- while you're waiting for your dermatologist's next available appointment.
