”The only way to truly achieve wellness is to approach health holistically,“ says board-certified internal medicine doctor Zion Ko Lamm, M.D. On this episode of Clean Beauty School, mbg beauty director and host Alexandra Engler chats with Lamm about her unique approach to skin care. Given her background as an internal medicine physician, she approaches skin health from a holistic and preventative lens—and she looks to address things such as diet, sleep hygiene, stress, and more when she gives skin care advice. For example: "I utilize my skin care routine as a time for meditation. It has a profound effect on my mental and emotional wellness.” Plus, we get into her favorite ingredients—from tried-and-true to buzzy new superfoods.
