In this episode of Getting Open, Andrea Miller sits down with Harvard-trained dermatologist Dr. Mary Alice Mina to separate skincare fact from fiction in a world obsessed with beauty trends, AI filters, and endless advice on social media. Together, they explore everything from looksmaxxing, Botox, red light therapy, and Ozempic face to the surprising habits that actually create healthy, radiant skin.

In this episode, you’ll learn why glowing skin has more to do with sleep, stress management, nutrition, movement, and sun protection than expensive products, while also debunking common beauty myths and explaining which treatments are truly worth considering. The conversation also dives into how AI is reshaping beauty standards, why authenticity may become more valuable than perfection, and what it really means to age confidently while still looking and feeling your best.
