“Sometimes people want the most aggressive drug that can clear up [their skin condition] in three days. But other times people really want advice about the lifestyle choices that can impact their chronic condition,” says board-certified integrative dermatologist Apple Bodemer, M.D. “Looking at the skin as separate from every other organ is one of the biggest mistakes from a medical standpoint. The skin is a reflection of what’s going on inside. Compartmentalizing doesn't help patients.” In this episode of Clean Beauty School, mindbodygreen beauty director and host Alexandra Engler chats with Bodemer about how loneliness impacts your overall health, the importance of sleep for skin, and how to heal your skin through gut. Plus, if you really need to only use clean beauty products.
