Regardless of how morbid that might sound to some, the inescapable thought did present itself: if acids improve my face this much, then surely the rest of my skin will benefit in the same way.

This kept blue tansy beauty products more in the realm of splurge, thus adding to their desirability and devotion. Board-certified dermatologist and medical director and owner of GlamDerm, Dr. Liam Mack, MD FAAD, discusses our burning questions on blue tansy flower oil and its uses in skincare.
