“People talk about retinol, vitamin C serums, and those are great products, but you'll never get results with a single product alone. It's only through a holistic approach that you'll experience healthy skin,” says board-certified dermatologist Whitney Bowe, M.D. “If you’re not respecting your gut lining and your skin barrier, there’s nothing you can add to your routine that’s going to give you the skin you want.” In this episode of Clean Beauty School, mbg beauty director and host Alexandra Engler chats with Bowe about a multi-level approach to skin care, the latest on the skin microbiome research, and why the clean beauty industry often seems so messy.
