34: What we’re getting wrong about mainstream skin care | triple-board certified dermatologist Mamina Turegano, M.D.

Clean Beauty School

“I always try to emphasize to my patients that most of this skin care stuff is optional—don’t feel like you have to do all of these things to meet whatever standards of beauty are out there. The ultimate goal is only for you to feel comfortable in your own skin,” says triple-board certified dermatologist Mamina Turegano, M.D. In this episode of Clean Beauty School, host & beauty director Alexandra Engler chats with Turegano about her skin care steps, how her mom informs her beauty routine, and finding a balance between mainstream and holistic skin care.
