Episode 8: Insider Secrets - Cosmeceutical Ingredients, Procedures and Devices Part 2
This episode is part 2 of our series about cosmeceutical ingredients, procedures, and devices. In Part 1, I talked about treatments like Botox, LED Light therapy, fillers and more procedures that are common to try to reduce or reverse aging.
Age spots are one of the biggest skin changes that we experience as we age. In this episode, I talk about the ingredients in cosmetic lighteners for age spots and what they do to your skin.
I also share secrets about what actually happens when you exfoliate your skin, what peptides do for your long-term skin health, why sunscreen isn't great for everyday use, the truth behind using Vitamin A on your skin, and much more.
