Key Quotes

"We're trying to do, as estheticians, through topical ingredients, such as vitamin A, is increased cellular turnover from the external side, so from the surface of your skin, so then the active ingredients can get inside the pores and start detoxifying them." - Liz Steffen

"When you have low vitamin D… You can be a little bit more tired, a little bit more lethargic, you know, we may not be getting that vitamin D from the sun in the wintertime. So when you're getting tested for it, take into account what time of the year you're also getting tested." - Liz Steffen
