Want Clearer Skin? There’s an App for That!

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UCD chapter.

We’re all still trying to forget the skin problems of high school, but they don’t always go away in college. Thankfully, we’re living in a time where you can use your smartphone for just about anything, even clearing up your skin. A new app called Spruce, available on iOS, provides a quick way to connect to a dermatologist without needing to leave your couch.

All you have to do is create an account and answer questions about your skin. For only $40, cheaper than an average dermatology visit, and a few (no makeup) selfies, a certified dermatologist will review your photos and prescribe a personalized acne treatment within 24 hours. With the app, you will also be connected to the Spruce team for any questions you have about your treatment plan, or acne in general.

You can follow Spruce on Twitter @SpruceHealth, and see the app in action.
