“Beauty should make you feel whole and better; it should never make you feel less or insecure. It’s really something for a plastic surgeon to tell you that beauty’s on the inside, but it’s true,” says Lara Devgan, MD, MPH, FACS, board-certified plastic surgeon and skin care expert. In this episode of Clean Beauty School, mindbodygreen beauty director and host Alexandra Engler chats with Devgan about the science behind today’s most in demand ingredients, why we should treat skin care like nutrition, and how daily micro-decisions influence our skin.
