Wellness: Maintenance Required

The Truth About Korean Skincare 🧖‍♀️ Salmon DNA, Glass Skin, & Pimple Patches | w/ Mindy Kim

Episode Notes

If your bathroom counter looks like a Sephora exploded on it and your skin still isn't glowing, you aren't alone. 🧴

Between viral TikTok trends, 10-step routines, and smearing salmon DNA on our faces, are we losing the plot on basic skincare?

In this episode, Dr. Summer Sanders, PT, DPT and Korean skincare expert Mindy Kim break down what's actually worth your money versus what might just be online hype. ✨ We unpack why wearing pimple patches while sweating at the gym is lowkey ruining your skin, the real truth behind glass skin trends, and how proper product layering turns your routine into a cheat code for a healthy skin barrier. Grab a matcha, press play, and let’s get your skincare routine back on track! 💆🏼‍♀️

Caring for your skin should feel like an intentional daily ritual, not a 45-minute chore or a pick-your-poison experiment. 🙌🏼
