You asked and we listened! Today we are joined by an expert on all things skincare, injectables, and facial aesthetics. Molly Tomich is a physician assistant specializing in cosmetic dermatology, and a new mom embarking upon her own journey back to work after maternity leave. We got candid with Molly on all of your (and our!) skincare concerns - from skin laxity to anti-aging routines, and pressed her to answer the most burning question for so many of us - is more expensive skincare really better?!

Skincare and aesthetics play a crucial role in boosting confidence for busy women and moms, and Molly brings her passion and expertise to educate our listeners on how they can best care for their skin during all seasons of life.

Join us as we discuss:

• Skincare During Life Transitions: Molly helps every mama understand ideal skincare routines while trying to conceive (TTC), during pregnancy, breastfeeding, and educating us on which key ingredients to avoid while providing safe alternatives.

• The Cost of Skincare: She breaks down the myth that effective skincare products need to be expensive, giving us suggestions on how to build an effective and approachable skincare routine.

• Skincare for Busy Women: Molly provides practical skincare tips and product recommendations for busy women, focusing on the essential steps and multi-purpose products (spoiler alert - she believes less is more!)

• Must-Have Skincare Products: Identifying essential skincare products for everyone's routine, emphasizing the importance of simplicity and efficacy.

• The Role of Cosmetic Procedures: Exploring the effectiveness of skincare products versus surgical procedures in combating skin elasticity and natural aging that occurs in our 30s, 40s, and beyond.
