The Secret to Skin Care with Dr. Fayne Frey
Is the subliminal messaging fed to you through the media making you feel like you’re not good enough, like your skin just isn’t glowy, dewy, tight, clear, etc. enough?
The skincare market often spins a narrative that the products they sell are the key to anti-aging, hydration, a glossy appearance, etc. But the truth is that these products have little to do with what our bodies actually need. In this episode of 52 Weeks of Hope, dermatologist and author of The Skincare Hoax, Dr. Fayne Frey, joins me to break down how to know what your body requires, understanding these cues, and how consumers can approach the variety of products that are available.
“What do consumers do? They’ve gotta get educated. They’ve gotta understand these little nuances. It will totally change the way they purchase products.” (8:21)
We also talk about the importance of applying sunscreen every day because protection is key! As long as your skin is moisturized and protected, you’re doing your body a huge favor and simultaneously slowing the aging process. Lastly, she discusses the process of writing her recent book and the message she wants to send individuals across the globe.
“I always tell women to look in the mirror and say these four little words, ‘Dear me, I’m awesome.’” (23:40)
