Portrait of Irina Kegishyan, founder and editor of Fur & Silk.

Irina Kegishyan is the founder and editor behind Fur & Silk, a beauty and lifestyle destination covering skincare, fashion accessories, and shopping guides—with a particular focus on sun protection in all its forms: sunscreen ingredients, UV-blocking eyewear, and skin concerns such as post-acne marks, redness, and hyperpigmentation.

With more than 11 years of experience in digital marketing, she brings together editorial research, product analysis, and audience-focused storytelling to spotlight products that are both effective and worth the attention—from sunscreens to sunglasses that balance UV protection with style.

She has also taken part in panel discussions and training sessions on skin protection, sun damage, and safe sun exposure, and continues to pursue professional learning across the beauty and skincare space. Her certifications include skin cancer awareness and sun and heat protection for outdoor activity.
