Description
“It’s not realistic to think our skin will be perfect when we live in a dynamic environment. Our skin is exposed to changes in stress levels, environment, and diet,” says board-certified dermatologist Shasa Hu, M.D., professor at the University of Miami and Cosmetic Director Skin of Color Division Miami. In this episode of Clean Beauty School, mindbodygreen beauty director and host Alexandra Engler chats with Hu about the myth that SPF is “toxic”, the issue with perfection culture in beauty, how to detect early signs of skin cancer, and getting enough vitamin D. Plus, what you can do to reverse sun damage from the past.
