Meet Erica Skynn
Celebrity Esthetician. Skin Strategist. Melanin Advocate.
Erica Skynn isn’t just an esthetician she’s a force. With over 20 years of hands-on experience in the treatment room and a client list that includes celebrities, public figures, and everyday people alike, Erica has built her name on one powerful truth: melanated skin needs different care and different knowledge.
She learned the hard way.
After years of working with top-tier product lines and esthetics protocols, Erica realized something was missing: none of it truly centered melanin-rich skin. The training barely touched it. The products weren’t tested for it. The industry didn’t have answers and neither did estheticians trying to serve clients of color.
So she created one.
The Melanin MasterClass
A one-of-a-kind educational program that pairs product with purpose.
Over five years of focused research, testing, and relentless learning, Erica developed Derm7: a results-driven skincare line formulated specifically to treat the unique responses, needs, and triggers of deeper skin tones. Her process wasn’t just about building a product it was about building knowledge. She tracked ingredient interactions, studied scar behavior, analyzed trauma responses in melanocytes, and worked with thousands of clients in real-time.
What she uncovered became the foundation of The Melanin MasterClass a one-of-a-kind educational program that pairs product with purpose.
“You don’t just need to know what to use. You need to know why melanated skin responds the way it does so you can treat it, not just guess at it.”
