No one wants to look old, even when we're cool with getting older and, most importantly, wiser. When it comes to our skin, we often look for topical treatments, lotions and potions. But what if there's more to it than that? What if the smallest daily steps (beyond washing your face) could make the biggest difference for your skin? This week Natasa Billeci, RN and Beauty Biohacker, joins Jenn's to discuss our largest organ, our skin! Covering nutrition choices to support our skin health and anti-aging to what ingredients to look for in skincare products, what treatments we need at various ages plus why and how to use derma rollers. This episode is beauty from the inside out. You're welcome :)
