“Textural aging—like wrinkles and fine lines—is something you expect when people age, but pigment is optional. If you protect your skin with sunscreen, care for your skin, and you treat it with certain chemical peels and lasers, you don't have to have the discoloration,” says esthetician Candace Marino, known as The L.A. Facialist. On this episode of Clean Beauty School, mindbodygreen beauty director & host Alexandra Engler chats with Marino about dark spot treatments, exfoliation tips, and why it's so important to wash your face nightly. Plus, her morning and night skin care routine.
