373: Adult acne AND aging at the same time can be frustrating, to say the least, and so many women struggle with both! So today I brought on Dr. Mamina, who specializes in a more natural and holistic approach when it comes to caring for your skin. Dr. Mamina takes an integrative approach to skin health, and in today’s interview I ask some of the most common and sought-after questions, like why so many women over 30 into their 50s still have acne, what the best treatments and products are for adult acne, and how we can help minimize wrinkles while also aging gracefully. We also discuss some of the skincare procedures you should NEVER do and, of course, the ones worth doing. But don’t worry, if you’re balling on a budget, Dr. Mamina shares the top two products we should all use that can truly make a difference in our skin, whether it’s acne, wrinkles, dark spots, or all of them!

Topics Discussed:

→ The cause(s) of adult acne→ Why women suffer more than men→ The hormone responsible for acne and clear skin→ Why we should be using sunscreen and the best ones→ Best products for acne-prone skin (and the worst ones)→ Exfoliants (chemical vs. scrubs)→ Best ingredients for anti-aging→ Botox, fillers, and alternatives→ Best products for dark spots, sun spots, and acne scars
