Ep. 215: How to Shop for Skincare Like a Scientist

Ep. 210: How Stress Affects Your Skin with Dr. Amy Wechsler

In this week’s episode, we interview Dr. Amy Wechsler, a double-board-certified psychiatrist and dermatologist. She explains how stress affects skin concerns such as acne, psoriasis, and skin-picking (and how to treat those issues), why sleep is so important, and how comparing yourself to images on social media can be dangerous (yes, we all have pores—and that’s normal!). We also discuss sunscreen news from Neutrogena (heads up: that segment is sponsored by the brand) and talk about the week’s beauty headlines: how the Black Lives Matter movement is reshaping the beauty industry for the better, a new beauty director at Burberry, Ah-Shí, the first Native-American-owned beauty store, Puig’s acquisition of Charlotte Tilbury, and Kendall Jenner losing her billionaire status.

Correction!
In Ep. 209, Jess shared tips for bikini-line skincare from Dr. Ranella Hirsch and mistakenly suggested you use 10% hydrocortisone cream to help soothe post-shaving red bumps. She meant to say 1% hydrocortisone. We apologize for the error and any confusion it caused.
