Laverne is on our show today to chat about a new partnership with Band-Aid and (RED), and we couldn’t be more thrilled to have her on.

The Mistakes You're Making With Sun Protection Aug 27, 2019

Show notes

90% of aging comes from daily sun exposure — not major sunburns! Today we’re breaking down sun protection, the different types of rays that cause both burns and pre-mature aging and how much sunscreen is essential for optimal coverage. However, another important aspect of sun protection is what to do after you’ve been in the sun or gotten a burn, because chances are you'll have a burn in your lifetime. What ingredients should you avoid, how to keep your skin in good shape, plus how to treat it in the best way possible — all in today's episode.

How to Properly Read a Product Label Aug 13, 2019

Show notes

You asked, we answered! A question we often get is “How do I read a product label?” We get it. Labels are very confusing. For instance, did you know hypoallergenic actually means nothing? Manufacturers can make these claims, however, the FDA does not have a formal process for determining what products are deemed “hypoallergenic." How bizarre.

https://www.fda.gov/cosmetics/cosmetics-labeling-claims/hypoallergenic-cosmetics

Today, we’re explaining how to read an ingredients list, what certain logos mean (or don’t mean), plus what terms to be weary of — what’s marketing jargon and what’s the real deal.
