The Dermastore® Podcast

In episode 31 of the Dermastore® podcast, we sit down with Dr Ian Webster (Dermatologist) to discuss how everyday external factors can affect the condition, comfort, and ultimately the health of our skin. From geographic location, air quality, and humidity levels to the fabrics we wear and sleep in, and the water and soaps we use every day — these all play a role in the bigger picture of our skin health.
