“I believe hair care is skin care: Hair products can get on the skin and clog the pores, irritate and dry the skin, or cause eczema and other skin diseases. And in some cases these scalp concerns can even lead to hair shedding,” says Harvard-trained board-certified dermatologist Iris Rubin, M.D. who specializes in scalp health; she’s the founder of SEEN Hair Care, a beauty brand designed to be non-irritating for the scalp and skin. In this episode of Clean Beauty School, mbg beauty director and host Alexandra Engler chats with Rubin about COVID-related hair loss, hairline acne, and how allergens may impact your hair growth.
