63. Skincare Minimalism with Dr. Mary Alice Mina

In this episode we discuss skin minimalism and why less is more when it comes to skincare. Dr. Mina emphasizes the importance of simplifying skincare routines and using only the necessary products. She cautions against falling for skincare hype and also discusses common skincare concerns such as dark circles and provides strategies for addressing them. Takeaways Simplify your skincare routine by using only the necessary products. In the morning, cleanse, moisturize, and apply sunscreen. In the evening, cleanse, moisturize, and consider using a retinol cream. Don't fall for skincare hype and seek guidance from a dermatologist for personalized advice. Address dark circles by using lightening creams for pigmentation, lasers for increased vascularity, and lower blepharoplasty for age-related changes. Be cautious with at-home skincare devices and consider in-office treatments for better results. Prevent skin cancer by wearing sunscreen, protective clothing, and seeking shade. 00:00 Introduction to Skincare and Skin Minimalism 08:02 Combatting Dark Under Eyes 28:03 Skin Changes During Menopause and Aging 35:28 Preventing Skin Cancer 41:30 Conclusion and Final Thoughts Dr. Mary Alice Mina is a Harvard trained double-board certified dermatologist and dermatologic surgeon and leading expert on skin health and skincare.
