Today Erin sits down with her own esthetician and friend, Lee Zavorskas. With a lot of overlap and instant clicks on similar outlooks, this episode is full of energy and passion when it comes to the beauty industry and skin care. Tune in as Lee and Erin discuss how skin is often an inside job with a gut/skin connection (for example, start by paying attention to your diet!) but sometimes you need to approach the skin outside-in. Listen to Lee take the mic and jump right into what is broken in the beauty industry, what to avoid when it comes to skin care, how important it is to embrace aging - and natural and safe ways to give you and your skin the love and care they deserve.

Rollinsford, New Hampshire-based Holistic Skin & Tonics focuses on whole skin health and the direct connection between nutrition and our skin.
