102: Underrated ingredients for skin health | esthetician Lesley Thornton

Clean Beauty School

“I take a holistic approach grounded in science. The skin is an exterior organ that is a communicator. It’s connected to billions of cells and nerves, and becomes an extension of our whole health,” says holistic esthetician Lesley Thornton, founder of KLUR. In this episode of Clean Beauty School, mbg beauty director and host Alexandra Engler chats with Thornton about why we should look to our skin for ingredient inspiration, functional fragrance, and her sunscreen hot take. Plus, why a good face wash is the backbone of your routine (and deserves more respect!)
