Melanin & Mistakes I'm Ricci, your local Perfectly Posh Skin Care Advocate. I'm here and available to make your skin care journey simple and all about self care on a budget.

Melanin & Mistakes is skincare and makeup education for melanated folks, from someone who's been through the hyperpigmentation, the wrong SPF, the "why is my foundation orange" phase — and came out the other side with actual answers. Come join me by pushing the like button!
