Every brand wants to sell you something. Every influencer has a code. Every home remedy has been passed down like gospel. I wanted to cut through all of that and bring you one honest conversation with someone who has spent their entire career understanding skin. I did my best to cover what I could. But I know there's more. If you have questions I didn't ask, drop them in the comments below. When I have enough, I'll bring Dr. Shireen back for a Part 2. ⏱ Chapters 00:00 – Skin: Your Body’s Billboard 01:59 – Dandruff: A Lifelong Battle? 17:56 – Hair Fall — When to Panic and When to Relax 56:54 – Curly Hair, Straight Answers 01:00:56 – Skin Explained Simply 01:12:48 – Acne — The Full Picture 01:49:18 – Pigmentation & Melasma 02:02:38 – Skin Lightening and the Fairness Obsession in India 02:10:49 – Sunscreen — Who Really Needs It, When, and Which One 02:36:17 – Skincare Routine — The Bare Minimum That Actually Works Connect: Business email: [email protected] SOCIAL LINKS: Twitter: https://x.com/clinton750 Facebook:   / clintonbaptist.baptist   Instagram:   / clintonbaptist   LinkedIn:   / clinton-baptist-4565a6104
