PGM 20 | Cleanse Your Skin with Adina Grigore of S.W. Basics
“If you have learned that eating a more simple diet feels better, this is the case for your skin, too…You have to be able to give your skin a break, to work its own magicâ€, says Adina Grigore, the passionate and enthusiastic creator of S.W. Basics and newly-minted author of “Skin Cleanseâ€. Adina argues that for the body and our skin, simple is better—and not only that, but simple is safer. In episode 20, Celine speaks to Adina about why our everyday products could be making our skin worse not better, how to make effective and permanent changes in your routine, and why being honest with yourself, is the best place to start.
