Summary

Board-certified dermatologist Dr. Whitney Bowe coined the term “Skin Cycling” – an active-and-recover skincare schedule that’s earned more than 3.5 billion views on TikTok. Today, the NYC-based research scientist is here with your ultimate skin cycling explainer, including lessons in retinal (with an “a!”) and how-to work niacinamide into your routine. Plus, stay tuned as Dr. Bowe pulls back the curtain on buzzy tweakments, the truth about celebrity-touted Em-Face treatments and why “dermatologist tested” isn’t always as legit as it sounds.

In This Episode, You’ll Also Discover:

  • The deets on Dr. Bowe’s own skin cycling-inspired range, Dr. Whitney Bowe Beauty, including how she *really* tests products

  • Retinol vs. retinal vs. prescription tretinoin – why “retinal” is the one you’ll see everywhere in 2023

  • These work! The at-home budget skincare gadgets Dr. Bowe recommends for puffy under eyes and TMJ

  • Her top 3 personal drugstore faves for skin and hair

  • Headline hot take: Is your Botox *actually* wearing off faster post Covid-19 vaccines?

  • And, should you really be swearing off UV Gel manicures this year?
