Skin Deep: Secrets from a Skincare Expert, Lesley Dressel
Navigating the world of skincare can feel overwhelming with endless products, treatments, and conflicting advice. What actually works? What's worth your money? And how do you address specific concerns like aging, acne, or hyperpigmentation?
In this revealing conversation with licensed aesthetician Lesley Dressel, we debunk skincare myths and uncover evidence-based practices that can truly transform your skin. Lesley shares her journey from medical sales to becoming a skincare expert, bringing both professional knowledge and personal experience to the table. You'll be shocked to learn that acne takes a full 90 days to form (not overnight!) and why those makeup removing wipes need to be tossed immediately.
We explore the three non-negotiable elements of any effective skincare routine: proper sunscreen (not just what's in your foundation), hydration strategies, and growth factors to stimulate collagen production. Lesley rates popular treatments from hydrafacials (a perfect 10/10) to eye creams (a modest 5/10) and explains why dermaplaning won't make your facial hair grow back darker. For the tech-savvy skincare enthusiasts, we discuss advanced options like microneedling, BBL, and laser treatments, including realistic expectations for results and recovery.
Whether you're dealing with adult acne, concerned about aging, or simply want to establish healthy skin habits, this episode offers practical advice for every age and skin type. Even if you've never had a facial or used anything beyond basic drugstore products, you'll walk away with clear, actionable steps to achieve your best skin ever.
