Art by Sara Shakeel

Episode 34- Do you have skin problems that just won't go away? Most people will just go to a conventional dermatologist who will give out a mindless slathering of topical "solutions" or harmful medication that will never get to the root of the problem. This week we get down to it with LA skin care guru (our description) Hayley Wood. She is one of the only professionals in her industry that actually goes deeper than "skin deep", looking at the skin as a communication system through which our body can tell us what is wrong and how to fix it. This episode in invaluable for anyone struggling with their skin.
