What are your nonnegotiable beauty tips? In our series <\/em>Essential Beauty<\/em>, we tap experts for the top three techniques they absolutely swear by.

The interest largely comes from at-home devices, improved professional technology, and (somewhat) lowering costs.\u00a0<\/p>\n But with any treatment, there are cautions. That\u2019s exactly what I chatted with board-certified dermatologist Tiffany Clay, M.D. about on a recent episode of Clean Beauty School.

Here, three things she thinks every patient should know.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
