When it comes to skincare, loads of products line store shelves. Almost all of them make bold, anti-aging claims (fountain of youth, anyone?).

But buying All. The. Products. comes with hefty financial and environmental price tags: If we want to age gracefully, what’s the average woman to do?

On today’s show, board certified dermatologist Dr. Mary Alice Mina makes the case that using too many skincare products is unnecessary at best and potentially harmful at worst.

Here’s a preview:

[4:00] What we’re doing wrong when it comes to skincare from a dermatologist’s perspective

[7:00] Transitioning from reactive quick skin fixes to long-term, preventative care

[11:30] Holistic skincare means skin cancer prevention: Here are the latest sunscreen guidelines

[17:00] Products we *actually* need (versus products we can confidently eave on the shelf)

[30:00] When, where, and who re: toner, exfoliant, and other ancillary products

[32:00] A medical professional’s thoughts on Botox and fillers

Revisiting The Capsule Wardrobe Conversation

Have a closet full of clothes but nothing to wear? While capsule wardrobes are often touted as the singular solution to closet overwhelm, many report that they can be restrictive, boring and, frankly, unrealistic in practice.

A minimalist closet is best served by first identifying the outfits needed to live YOUR unique life. On today's show podcaster Lauren Morley shows us how to streamline our wardrobes, say goodbye to clutter, and feel effortlessly put together every day by focusing less on capsules and more on a 20 outfit wardrobe, instead.

 

Here's a preview:

[5:30] Identifying exactly where and why capsule wardrobes fall short

[11:00] Why doesn't buying more clothes solve the problems associated with getting dressed? Conversely, why isn't decluttering the singular solution?

[16:00] Say goodbye to capsule wardrobes and hello to your 20 outfit wardrobe

[20:00] Getting to the root of our cultural reverence for bottomless closets

[28:00] The trend cycle is not your friend, so hop off that bandwagon!
