Dr. Mary Alice Mina: Are You Using Too Many Skincare Products? Stop Overthinking Skincare and Do This Instead

Biohacking Beauty: The Anti-Aging Skincare Podcast

Many of us unknowingly harm our skin with habits we think are helpful. Over-exfoliating, using the wrong products, or skipping sunscreen altogether can damage your skin barrier, leading to dryness, sensitivity, and even premature aging. If your skincare routine feels overwhelming—or worse, ineffective—it might be time to simplify and get back to the basics.

In this episode of Biohacking Beauty, I sat down with Dr. Mary Alice, a dermatologist with nearly two decades of experience, to dive into how to avoid these common mistakes. We talked about the power of skin minimalism, why your skin barrier is your first line of defense, and how understanding your skin’s unique needs can help you achieve real, long-lasting results.

We also shared practical advice on building a streamlined routine that works and why less is often more when it comes to skincare. If you’re tired of wasting time and money on products that don’t deliver, this episode is for you.

Dr. Mary Alice Mina is a procedural dermatologist specializing in skin health and longevity. Over the past two decades, she has helped countless patients transform their skin by focusing on evidence-based treatments and personalized care.

This conversation will leave you inspired to rethink your routine. Don’t miss it!
