After a nourishing summer pause, I’m back in the studio with a fresh season of episodes that dive deeper into the heart of holistic skin health.

In today’s episode, we’re opening the conversation around hyaluronic acid. Is it worth the hype? Is it helping or hurting your skin? We’ll explore:

  • Why context is everything.

  • The difference between internal vs. topical hydration.

  • When it can be helpful, and when it may actually dehydrate you!

  • The bigger question behind dryness: what is your skin trying to tell you?

If you've ever used a hyaluronic acid serum or been curious, this one's for you!
