May Lindstrom is an esthetician, formulator, and founder of the cult-favorite luxury skincare brand May Lindstrom Skin. After overcoming severe eczema and building one of the world’s most beloved natural skincare brands, she’s developed a completely different philosophy on skin health. In this episode, May shares the surprisingly simple step almost everyone skips before applying skincare—and why she believes it can completely change how your products perform. We also discuss how to repair a compromised skin barrier, her favorite ingredients for redness, hormonal acne, seborrheic dermatitis, uneven texture, pigmentation, and keratosis pilaris, the difference between temporary glow and true radiance, why hydration goes far beyond aesthetics, and the skincare practices most consumers have never been taught. You can find May’s products at maylindstrom.com and on Instagram @maylindstromskin.
