“When we think of the skin as an organ, we can better understand how it’s connected to our whole body and how it influences the whole system. You can't just isolate one part of your body and try to tackle that without thinking about everything holistically,” says esthetician, product formulator, and product curator Alicia Yoon, founder of Peach & Lily. In this episode of Clean Beauty School, mindbodygreen beauty director and host Alexandra Engler chats with Yoon about the basics of skin care, how to use retinol, and her favorite ingredients for all types of skin concerns.
