In this feature episode, Sandy and Chan take on ski-trip skin care and all that entails, including how to protect your lips from winter wind, the nastiness of hot tub folliculitis and lip-balm dependency. Plus Sandy reports back on Chantel’s challenge regarding the rose quartz guasha stone and a listener question on mechanical vs. chemical exfoliators!
In 2012, Sandy helped to write a book with Xiaolan Zhao, a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine. You can buy Inner Beauty, on Amazon.
Sandy was a guest on Dr. Michael Roizen’s podcast: You The Owners Manual Radio Show. Her episode drops on January 6.

Our listener question was about mechanical vs chemical exfoliators.
Mechanical exfoliators have little beads, seeds, or some sort of gritty substance, which “mechanically” exfoliates the dead dry skin. Chemical exfoliators use a form of acid to exfoliate.
Here are a few chemical exfoliators we mentioned:
Paula’s Choice has many AHA and BHA exfoliating products -- and here’s an interesting article about how to determine the right AHA for you, and an article about the difference between AHA and BHA exfoliators (BHAs are the little, lighter sister to AHAs).
Dr. Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Extra Strength Daily Peel
In the dermal dive, we tackled ski trip skincare.
We discussed:
Hot tub folliculitis (yuck!)
Protecting your skin with a barrier or skin repair cream. Here are a few that we mentioned:
La Roche Posay Cicaplast Baume B5 Avene Cicalfate Restorative Skin Cream Bioderma CicabioSandy mentioned her trip to the Magnetic North Pole with True Patriot Love foundation. You can read about the trip in this National Post article and see a picture of Sandy in the Magnetic North Pole. She mentioned that L’Oreal sponsored the trip and donated La Roche-Posay’s Anthelioso SPF 60 to protect the team’s skin from the sun.
Hot tip: Use a stick sunscreen so you can easily reapply it while you’re on the ski hill.
Lips: Avoid lip balms with added scent -- they dry out lips and make chapped lips worse. Lip balms we like:
Uriage Bariéderm Repair and Insulation Lip Balm
Sandy’s challenge to Chantel for the next two weeks is to use the Cerave Hydrating Cleasing Bar.
