Description

Welcome to The Skin Real, your no-nonsense guide to clear, confident, and healthy skin. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by skincare, confused by beauty trends? Or stuck on the ‘hot girl’ hamster wheel of youth preservation, then you Skin Friend, are in the right place. I’m your host, Dr. Mary Alice Mina, a double board-certified dermatologist with over 15 years of clinical experience. And here’s the deal, great skin isn’t just about what you put on it. It’s about how you care for yourself from the inside and out. Here we go beyond just skincare to talk wellness, vitality, nutrition, mental well-being, hormones, and everything in between. So if you’re ready for clarity, confidence, a little fun and a whole lot of skin wisdom, here’s the tea, because this is how dermatologists talk skin.
