Furthermore, she explores the relevant external factors that affect your skin, such as sun exposure, smoking, diet, sleep, and stress.

Finally, she delves into the basics of a gentle, yet effective skincare regimen and the principles of cosmeceuticals, including cleansers, moisturizers, and the anti-aging holy grail: retinoids/retinols.
