Top Dermatologist: Your Skincare Routine is a Lie (You Only Need 2 Things)

Today, Sarah sits down with Dr. Alistair Finch, a cosmetic dermatologist who is pulling back the curtain on the multi-billion dollar skincare industry. But Dr. Finch wasn't always a doctor; he began his career as a high-end aesthetician, performing thousand-dollar facials for the Scottsdale elite. He shares the powerful story of one client who made him feel like a complete fraud and prompted a moment of professional despair that changed the entire course of his life. That single moment pushed Alistair to trade the plush world of luxury spas for the grueling reality of medical school at age 32. Now, he operates on a radically simple philosophy he calls "The Foundation and the Foreman." Dr. Finch explains why most of the expensive serums and creams we buy are just 'expensive curtains for a house with a leaky roof,' and reveals the only two things you truly need to protect and rebuild your skin, no matter your age.
