Episode 22: The Most Important Skincare Ingredients: A Shopper's Guide Part 1
What ingredients should you look for when buying skincare products? Today, I talk about the ingredients that holistically and scientifically create healthy rejuvenated skin.
I run into a ton of people who are skincare junkies and love to research the best ingredients in skincare, but it is hard to find true scientific information that isn't threaded with marketing messages. On this show, I share information on how essential ingredients like retinol, vitamin A, and retinaldehyde, scientifically impact your skin and its holistic anti-aging process. I also talk about how you should invest in moisturizers and the best way to moisturize your skin.
Be sure to tune in next week for Part 2 to learn about more of the most important skincare ingredients for your skin.
