Officially, Michelle Wong is a doctor and beauty scientist. But to us, she's our ultimate skincare myth-buster. 

She joins us today to teach us how to actually care for our skin without falling victim to trends and pseudo-science. 

Plus, her ride-or-die favourite skincare ingredients and the ones she just can't get around.
