One of my favorite aspects of my work is getting interviewed (and interviewing) by really cool people who I consider to be rock stars and pioneers in the holistic and integrative skincare movement. I recently had the opportunity to be a guest on the wonderful?Dr. Trevor Cates’ podcast, The Spa Dr.?.?I got to?spend time in person with Dr. Cates at a health conference we both attended this past summer, and I can tell you she’s not only brilliant, but also a truly heart-centered healthcare professional who’s passionate about advancing an integrative approach to healthy skin. I and my other co-founders of the Nutritional Aesthetics? Alliance are honored to have her as a member of our Advisory Board.
In this episode of The Spa Dr.?, Dr. Cates and I talked a LOT about DIY skincare treatments, topical ingredients, and how whether an ingredient–like jojoba or coconut oil–works for a person or not has more to do with the person’s unique chemistry rather than whether the ingredient is supposed to be for their particular skin “type” or not. We also talked a lot about hyperpigmentation, and some of the issues surrounding conventional treatments like hydroquinone, and I give some natural alternatives. I also shared some of my favorite kitchen remedies for puffy eyes, as well as my go-to toner recipe.

Wonderful interview. Thank you for posting, Rachael, especially about hyperpigmentation. A serious problem in my practice as well! Interested to see your thoughts on it.
Thank you Tanya! And thanks for taking the time to read and comment.
