What does your skin actually need and what is just an overhyped waste of your time and hard earned money? Retinol, toners, cleansers, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, chemical peels, AHA, BHA (ahhh what do these terms even bloody mean?!) Dermatologist Dr Cara McDonald lets Dr Preeya pick her brains (for her personal interest but also to help you friends) so we can figure out where our pennies are best spent, what the evidence says and what ACTUALLY works. This episode is a serious game changer filled with golden nuggets to navigate the skin care aisles with confidence. *Please note this episode focuses on skin care and active ingredients and does not cover injectables (that needs its own episode entirely!) The discussions in this podcast are general in nature and do not replace the need for you to see a qualified health professional for any concerns you may have.  Guest: Dr Cara McDonald - Dermatologist Instagram: ⁠⁠@doctor.preeya.alexander⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ @drcara_dermatologist Books: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Eat, Sleep, Play, Love⁠⁠⁠⁠ by Dr Preeya Alexander⁠ Preeya's new book ⁠⁠Full Plate⁠⁠ is out now!
