25. Is Better Skin Actually Less? Minimalist Beauty, Integrity in Ingredients & Skin Health | Neada Deters

What if everything you’ve been told about “more is more” in skincare… is actually ruining your skin?

Neada Deters—founder of LESSE and former beauty editor – is obsessed with ingredient transparency. She dismantles the myth that more steps, more actives, and more products equal better skin. Spoiler: your skin barrier disagrees. 

What you’ll learn in this episode of Give Good Face with Dr. Anthony Rossi: 

- Why minimalist routines often outperform 12-step regimens

- How “active overload” quietly destroys your skin barrier

- The truth behind trending ingredients and why the industry pushes them

- The real meaning of formulation integrity (and why most brands don’t have it)

- How Neada healed her own cystic acne and hyperpigmentation with a less-but-better philosophy

- What sustainable beauty actually looks like beyond marketing buzzwords
