Function and care of the skin
Hi team of The Drive, You have already done many interesting deep dives on health topics. One I would be interested in to hear more about is the skin: functions of the skin wrt our health, and optimal care. There was already some very useful information in the food allergy episode, but no comprehensive overview yet (as far as I know). Thanks for providing all this great input!
