It isn't that I really don't think it's like

Hello, hello, it's Berkivard and you're listening to the Naked Beauty Podcast.

Welcome back for another episode. This is for people that are interested in skincare.

And that's because the more that you learn, the more you adapt. And as I've been having so many

conversations lately and it's interesting. It's usually the dermatologists that are the ones

that are not into this whole concept of clean beauty. I really feel like, okay, is it a helpful
