In this episode of the Free to Be Mindful Podcast, Vanessa is joined by dermatologist and mom Dr. Mary Alice Mina to talk about how our skin changes over time—and why taking care of it doesn’t have to be complicated. They break down what really affects our skin, including hormones, stress, and lifestyle habits.

Dr. Mina shares practical advice that goes beyond just products. She talks about how skincare is connected to sleep, nutrition, and how we care for ourselves day to day. The conversation is filled with helpful tips that make skincare feel doable, not overwhelming.

They also discuss the pressure many women feel to look a certain way, and how to shift our mindset around aging. For moms especially, this episode is a great reminder that small, consistent habits and self-care go a long way—and that asking for help is not only okay, but necessary.

If you’ve ever felt lost in skincare routines, pressured by social media, or just want to feel more confident in your own skin, this one’s for you. Hit play and take what you need from this refreshing and relatable conversation.
