Ep 12: The Facts on Anti-Ageing Skin Care

Welcome to Skincare School the podcast, your ultimate skincare study guide. Join Adore Beauty’s Senior Editor Amy Clark and Dr. Michelle Wong from Lab Muffin Beauty Science as they take things right back to basics to make skin care simple and F-U-N! What’s on our last episode (for now)? We’re glad you asked… The Facts on Anti-Ageing Skin Care There are a lot of myths floating around when it comes to ageing, and 'anti-ageing' skin care. Some of it comes down to confusion. And fear-based marketing. And a lack of understanding around exactly what anti-ageing skincare products can (and definitely can't) do. In our final Skincare School Season 1 episode, Michelle explains exactly what happens in the skin when we age, as well as ways to target the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and age spots, should you like to. We also bust some of those big anti-ageing myths, including whether all anti-ageing skincare products are created equal. Plus, get our best in class product recommendations.
