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
