In today's episode I am joined with Bend Beauty Founder, Marc St. Onge. Being an entrepreneur in this industry for over 20 years, Marc is an expert in the anti-aging formula - and answering the question: what does our body and skin need for youthful, beautiful skin? In this episode, not only do we share how Bend Beauty products work, but we dive into the factors affecting and accelerating signs of skin aging, how to combat this and clinical scientific studies to back it up.
