“One of the most important things you can do is to educate yourself on some of the key skin care ingredients and how they work with your skin: Because maybe there’s a product that’s formulated for your skin type or concern, but it contains an ingredient that doesn’t work well for you. [It’s important to have a] deeper understanding and deeper relationship with your skin,” says Sarah Lee. In this episode of Clean Beauty School, mbg beauty director and host Alexandra Engler chats with Korean Beauty experts and founders of Glow Recipe Christine Chang and Sarah Lee. The trio talk about how to stay on top of the beauty zeitgeist, what Western beauty media got wrong about Korean Beauty, and why we need to limit interacting with “perfect, flawless” images on our social media feeds.
