“Our bodies and skin are what carries our spirit through this world, so they are to be loved, appreciated, and cared for,” says brand founder and skin care expert Vicky Tsai. In this episode of Clean Beauty School, mindbodygreen beauty director and host Alexandra Engler chats with Tsai about why skin care stresses some folks out, how to reduce inflammation in the skin, and the mind-skin connection. Plus, we get into the inherent connection between spirituality and skin care.
