“There is a very powerful industry voice that has taught us that if it hurts, if it tingles a ton, if it makes our skin red, then it must be working,” says Hillary Peterson, founder of True Botanicals, when talking about “anti-aging” products. In this episode of Clean Beauty School, mindbodygreen’s beauty director and host Alexandra Engler chats with Peterson chat about “the gift that is aging,” the skin barrier function, and why ingredient sourcing is so important for the health of the environment.
