Clean: The New Science of Skin Book Talk with James Hamblin

From public health officials on TV to caring family members in our homes, we’re all receiving daily reminders about the need for frequent hand washing to prevent the spread of coronavirus. But a deeper look at today’s culture of skincare reveals that most of our standards of cleanliness are less related to health than most people think. In his new book Clean: The New Science of Skin, doctor and journalist James Hamblin explores the surprising and unintended effects of our hygiene practices and introduces us to the emerging science of the skin’s microbiome - a little-known ecosystem of microbes that is essential to our quest for “healthy skin”. On August 26, Dr. Hamblin joined #AspenIdeasHealth for a book talk with skin biologist and immunologist Dr. Shruti Naik to discuss what "clean" really means when it comes to our skin.
