Uncovering the truth about skincare: a dermatologist's perspective

In this episode, we have Fayne Frey, a dermatologist and author of The Skincare Hoax: How You're Being Tricked into Buying Lotions, Potions & Wrinkle Cream.

We delve into the world of skincare and the billions of dollars spent on products that may not even work. Why do we spend so much money on skincare products that don't deliver results? Why is there such a strong emphasis on looking a certain way? Fayne shares her insights as a dermatologist and sheds light on the misleading messages perpetuated by the cosmetics industry.

Fayne also provides a historical perspective on the use of cosmetics and how marketing has shaped our cultural beliefs about beauty and skincare. She debunks popular myths about dermatologist-tested products, hypoallergenic products, and the correlation between the cost of a product and its effectiveness.

She shares her story and discusses her book, The Skincare Hoax: How You're Being Tricked into Buying Lotions, Potions & Wrinkle Cream.
