In this vlog interview, I walk through Vancouver, BC with Dr. Jiyeh Joo, an aesthetic and cosmetic physician from Toronto, Canada, and ask her everything you’ve probably wondered about skincare, anti-aging, and the truth behind beauty trends.

We break down what actually works (and what’s a waste of money), from daily skincare routines to procedures like Botox — and even where the line is between self-improvement and going too far.
