LAREDO, Tex. (KGNS) – Have you ever wondered if that expensive skincare product is really worth the money? Or whether you actually need sunscreen if you’re spending the day indoors? With endless advice flooding social media, it can be difficult to separate skincare facts from fiction

That’s exactly what we set out to do in the latest episode of Morning Brew

I sat down with Paloma Cigarroa, PA-C, a dermatology specialist, for one of our most interactive conversations yet. Together, we tackled the skincare questions people ask every day—from viral beauty trends and anti-aging products to acne, sunscreen, hair loss and skin cancer awareness

One of the highlights of the conversation was a new game called “Worth It, Waste It or It Depends?” As I named popular skincare products, ingredients and trends, Paloma shared whether they deserve a place in your routine—or if your money is better spent elsewhere. The segment offered practical advice while reminding viewers that there is rarely a one-size-fits-all approach to healthy skin

We also put common skincare myths to the test with a round of True or False, covering everything from sunscreen and acne to the claims people hear most often online. Paloma explained what today’s research actually says and offered easy-to-understand guidance that anyone can apply

Beyond products and routines, our conversation focused on something even more important: learning to recognize what your skin may be trying to tell you. Paloma discussed the warning signs people should never ignore, the importance of regular skin checks and why early detection plays such a critical role in preventing skin cancer

Whether you’re a skincare enthusiast, someone looking to simplify your daily routine or simply curious about what’s fact and what’s fiction, this episode is filled with practical advice you can start using today
