    “When I started getting into skin care myself, I was like ‘I have this texture, these bumps, and I’m starting to develop fine lines, what are the things I can buy?’ It’s always been very problem-solution focused. If we understand how to get these concerns, then we can understand what ingredients to look for in a product and then we can find the right products to really help with that,” says board-certified dermatologist Muneeb Shah, D.O., who is sometimes better known as the face behind the YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram sensation Doctorly. Shah is now the founder of the results-oriented skin care brand Remedy Science. 

    In this episode of Clean Beauty School, mindbodygreen beauty director and host Alexandra Engler chats with Shah about retinol use, dealing with dark spots, and finding reputable information on social media.

    The most important clean swaps to make | Lindsay Dahl, sustainability & consumer protections expert

    The most important clean swaps to make | Lindsay Dahl, sustainability & consumer protections expert

    “Any issue that becomes a lighting rod means it’s powerful. ‘Clean’ is a term that people now debate. Some people love it. Some people hate it. But to me, clean living is just about making choices that are good for people and the planet. Simple as that. And I don’t think there’s any superiority to the term, either,” says sustainability and consumer protection expert Lindsay Dahl, Chief Impact Officer at Ritual. In this episode of Clean Beauty School, mindbodygreen beauty director Alexandra Engler chats with Dahl about her decades-long career fighting for consumer protection, how to spot greenwashing red flags, and why radical traceability is the future of the well-being space.

    The best nutrients for skin health | Glenicia Nosworthy M.D., internal medicine physician

    The best nutrients for skin health | Glenicia Nosworthy M.D., internal medicine physician

    “When we are doing aesthetic treatments that are increasing collagen and elastin production, you have to consider, ‘What do cells need to make collagen and elastin?’ They need great forms of nutrients, proteins, and building blocks,” says internal medicine physician Glenicia Nosworthy M.D., who specializes in aesthetic and integrative medicine. “I can inject you with anything that's going to stimulate the cell. But if the cell is not getting the nourishment or the nutrients that it needs to function properly, then your response is going to be very minimal. And you're going to be paying for multiple treatments and you're not going to get maximum results.” In this episode of Clean Beauty School, mindbodygreen beauty director and host Alexandra Engler chats with Nosworthy about platelet rich fibrin treatments, how to boost collagen production, and what nutrients to focus on for skin health.

Registered Nurse

I just find the information in each episode so enlightening… every time. Even I am not particularity interested in the said topic… I always learn a “gem” of info.
The questions asked are always exactly what I would ask. I just love this podcast!

Ebay Bucks ,

The information is great, the ads not so much

I love the show but the ads when read by Liz sound mechanical.

I can’t stand it so I always fast forward through them…isn’t that opposite the goal?

Please use a computer voice, like Alexa or something to read them.

I don’t mean to be mean, just being honest.

Model Madison Headrick Episode

What a pointless episode. If you are coming on a podcast to talk about skincare and you can’t even name the brands of serums that you use. So basically you came to promote your own skincare line which is ok but didn’t really give any value add advice. Same trend for the rest of episodes. Great topics but very little input and knowledge included.
