Dr. Stefanie explains how terms like "sensitive skin" and "for redness" oversimplify complex dermatological realities, often leading consumers astray.
This episode highlights a crucial truth often overlooked by the beauty industry: using products designed for the wrong skin condition doesn't just waste money—it can actively harm your skin.
Listen now to discover what your skin may have been trying to tell you all along.
