Are you tired of scrolling past “miracle” before-and-after photos that seem too good to be true, only to feel disappointed when your skin doesn’t magically transform overnight? You’re not alone.

In this episode, Dr. Mary Alice Mina breaks down her top takeaways from her interview with Dr. Rey Hamidi, diving deep into the world of skincare misinformation on social media. Learn how to spot red flags, identify credible experts, and protect yourself from misleading product claims.

You’ll discover:

  • 🚩 How to identify skincare misinformation and avoid viral myths like “sunscreen causes cancer.”

  • 🧠 Why we’re so vulnerable to bad advice (and how social media exploits our trust).

  • 🔍 How to become your own skincare detective by verifying credentials and motives.

  • 🌿 The real foundation of healthy skin — from nutrition and movement to mindset and smart procedures.

  • 💡 Why strategy matters in skincare, not quick fixes or impulse buys.

    This episode is all about empowering you to make informed, science-based decisions about your skin health — no filters, no gimmicks.
