Ep 4: Splurge VS Save

Welcome to season two of Adore Beauty's podcast, Skincare School! Join Amy Clark and Dr. Michelle Wong from Lab Muffin Beauty Science as they take things up a notch from season one, touching on Korean & Japanese skincare, facials oils, how to use Vitamin A, how to navigate multiple skin concerns at once, and much more. If you missed season one, we recommend rewinding to have a listen to that before embarking on this semester's lessons.   This episode was sponsored by Avène.   Deep Dive: Splurge vs Save Dr. Michelle Wong & Amy tell us how to divide your skincare budget up so we get the best bang for your buck! Dr. Michelle Wong tells us how brands decide on the cost of products, the one active that she thinks you can really save on, plus, Amy & Dr. Michelle Wong's Splurge VS Save recommendations. It's important to note that everyone's version of affordable is different so keep that in mind.    Q: I have started using products targeting pigmentation but I am noticing more dark spots. Can it get worse before it gets better? Dr. Michelle Wong explains why this could be happening, and why a lot of fading products can make you more sensitive to the sun. Remember, SPF is a non-negotiable, so Slip, Slop, Slap!   Product Mentions: CeraVe SkinCeuticals Silymarin CF SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic Serum SkinCeuticals Phloretin CF The Ordinary Squalane Cleanser  The Ordinary Supersize Squalane Cleanser Viviology Vitamin C Serum Ultra Violette Supreme Screen SPF 50+ Hydrating Facial Skinscreen CeraVe Hydrating Cream To Foam Cleanser CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution BOOST LAB AHA Glow Resurfacing Serum La Roche-Posay innisfree Green Tea Seed Serum COSRX Salicylic Acid Daily Gentle Cleanser COSRX Acne Pimple Master Patch Hada Labo Lotion No.1 Super Hydrator   Whether you’re on the hunt for skincare advice, wanting to share your best beauty tips, or are just looking for someone to indulge in a cringey convo with, the Beauty IQ FB Community has got ya covered!
