QUESTIONS I ASK DR. BAILEY IN THE EPISODE:

Can you start off by telling us a bit about your background? (Specifically, what led you to become a Board Certified dermatologist?)

What's the most common mistake you see people making with skincare?

What's the most basic morning routine adults should follow to keep their skin healthy and vibrant? Night routine?

What should we look for in a cleanser? In a sunscreen? In a retinol/retinoid?

If someone wants to level up their skincare regimen beyond the most basic routine, what *extra* products would you recommend adding?

Are expensive, upper-end skincare products worth the money? Are certain products all hype?

In your blog post on natural skincare, you write: "Blend [natural products] into a routine with professional skin care products and get the best from both science and nature." Can you elaborate on this? What's the difference between "natural" skincare and typical products in terms of ingredients and efficacy?
