How to Build a Science Backed Skincare Routine
Show notes
In this episode, we'll talk about skincare products that actually work and explain how to build an effective, sustainable routine! I'll explain how and why sunscreen is so important, how to pick a cleanser, how to actually hydrate your skin, and ingredients that have been proven to do what they say they do versus trendy, not as effective ones.
There is so much information available about skincare, I highly recommend getting most of your information from dermatologists! I'd love to do more specific videos on skincare and wellness trends in the future, so let me know what you want to see next.
This information is for general learning only. It is not medical advice. Do not use it to diagnose or treat health problems. Always talk to a doctor for medical care.
