“What I think is the key probably to this whole thing is that you have to get to know your own skin and you have to figure out what works best for you personally. This is a very personal thing.” — Kelly Castillo [0:49:02]
“Find a way to encourage yourself though, because we are worth having nice skin. Even though we’re tired, if you leave it out on your counter, you might be more inclined to use it than if you put it underneath your counter.” — Megan Block [0:51:09]
“The less things that you do on your list today that damage your skin, and that could be sun damage, it could be diet, it could be artificial sweeteners, things like that. The less damage you cause to your skin, then the less steps you need to do to try to reverse damage.” — Kelly Castillo [0:52:41]
“It doesn’t have to be such a huge change, but find little ways to just add that to your day because it doesn’t take very long and it’s not a big change. But the things we’re doing over time are accumulating to be a bad choice for our skin.” — Megan Block [0:53:25]
