In this episode of In Your Skin, we sit down with Dr Natasha Cook, a leading dermatologist, skincare expert, and founder of her own skincare line. Dr Cook shares her journey into dermatology, sparked by her own struggles with a rare autoimmune skin condition, and why she’s on a mission to simplify skincare and cut through the marketing hype.
We talk about the biggest skincare mistakes people are making, why some trends are doing more harm than good, and the truth about sunscreen that most people don’t know. Dr Cook also breaks down the science of skin ageing, the impact of lifestyle factors like stress and diet, and how to build an effective, no-fuss skincare routine that works.
