November 22, 2024


Brought to you in partnership with Aveeno, this week’s bonus episode is all about the scientifically proven ingredients that will help you achieve peak, healthy-looking skin. Joining us in the hot seat is board-certified dermatologist Dr. Geeta Yadav, founder of FACET Dermatology in Toronto, who has been quoted in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Allure, Vanity Fair and Cosmopolitan. 

You’ll find out:

  • How healthy skin functions, and the key factors to protect at all costs, like your skin’s acid mantle, microbiome and skin barrier.  
  • The telltale signs that your skin barrier is seriously compromised, for every tone in the Fitzpatrick scale.
  • From ceramides to oatmeal to vitamin C and more – the fundamentals of building the perfect, healthy skin ingredient wardrobe.
  • How to treat signs of aging, acne and pigmentation while keeping your skin barrier intact. Like, is retinol a total no-go? How about exfoliation?
  • Does the TikTok-viral beef tallow trend have any merit? Plus, deciphering which other pantry-adjacent ingredients are and aren’t worth your time.
