In partnership with our friends at Olay, this week weâre asking all of the questions you ever wanted to know from a cosmetic chemist, with Olay Principal Scientist, Dr. Rolanda Johnson Wilkerson. In this uninterrupted chat, the STEM powerhouse enlightens us on the meaning of âchaotic skin,â the most underrated (and most overrated!) ingredients in skincare and what happens to your skin while you sleep.
Plus, stay tuned until the end to find out how old Carleneâs skin really is compared to her actual age, according to a professional imaging device you can now find in dermâs offices and facialist spots.
Youâll hear all about:

The one ingredient that Dr. Wilkerson has been studying lately, proven to be a boon for redness-prone skin Why you should always wash your face at night, even if youâve had a makeup-free dayThe blue-sky skincare product that the chemist wishes she could develop, which doesnât exist yetGet social with us and let us know what you think of the episode!
