Summary: Today we’re talking about beauty science with my favorite skin health expert, Dr. Elsa Jungman, who got her Ph.D. in Skin Pharmacology. Elsa began her career in skin care working in R&D for L’Oréal in Paris and now she owns a clean skin care brand called Elsi. She is my go-to expert on the skin microbiome and she has helped me to overcome my own skin sensitivities. On this episode we discuss: - the link between skin and mental health - environmental factors for skin health - the link between hormones and beauty - why over 50% of the US population has a skin disorder - what a healthy skin microbiome looks like - how to stop overgrowth of bad skin bacteria and promote good bacteria - why you might want to stop using soap - why less is better when it comes to skin products - behind the scenes of beauty tech - new findings in skin research - the best basic skin care routine - the most common misconceptions about skin care and skin products - what to look out for in your products - how to get and maintain youthful, glowing skin from the inside out!
