#019 In this episode, Dr. Lindsay Zubritsky, also known as Derm Guru, joins me on the podcast to answer frequently asked questions about skincare, haircare, and procedures. Dr. Zubritsky shares her personal skincare journey, including her early skincare mistakes, and discusses her passion for demystifying skincare and making it accessible to everyone. She emphasizes the importance of finding a balance between being a practicing Dermatologist, content creator, and mother of two. Dr. Zubritsky provides valuable insights on various topics, including the efficacy (or lack thereof) of drinking water for dry skin, the truth about using vitamin E for scars, and the best skincare routine for prepping for a big event. She also shares tips for postpartum hair loss, the benefits of peptides in skincare, and the importance of caring for the neck. Throughout the episode, Dr. Zubritsky emphasizes the importance of consistency, simplicity, and finding joy in skincare.Key Takeaways:Dr. Zubritsky's ability to simplify complex skincare topics and make them actionable has resonated with her audience, leading to her rapid growth on social media.Drinking water alone is not enough to hydrate dry skin. While hydration is important, it is equally crucial to take care of the skin from the outside by using moisturizers, sunscreen, and antioxidants.The myth that vitamin E is effective for scars is not supported by scientific evidence. Silicone-based products, such as silicone patches or gels, are more effective for scar treatment.Preparing the skin for a big event requires starting early and considering both skincare routines and procedures. It is important to give enough time for treatments to work and to consult with a dermatologist for personalized recommendations.Consistency is key in skincare routines. Using sunscreen, retinols, and peptides consistently can help improve skin health and address various concerns.Find Dr. Lindsay here!To watch the video version of this episode head to the Youtube page!Need a full skincare overhaul?
