Quotes
“There is a type of acne called acne rosacea where they get pustular acne or papular acne.” [2:24]
“I recommend keeping things simple. I do like herbs that have gentle cooling properties, like Aloe vera, marshmallow root is really nice. Calendula is lovely for most people. It is pretty well-tolerated. It's used in a lot of baby products, children's products, you'll even see it in eczema and sensitive skin products.” [15:59]
