60. Looks Clean, Acts Dirty: A Skincare Reality Check

Clean skincare is everywhere. But what if clean isn’t enough?
In this episode, I’m breaking down one of the biggest misconceptions in the beauty world: that clean, natural, or non-toxic skincare automatically equals good skincare. Spoiler alert—it doesn’t.

We’ll explore:

• What “clean” really means (and why it’s not regulated)

• Why some clean products still leave your skin dry, flakey, or reactive

• How to tell if a product actually supports your skin’s function

• Why apps, influencers, and pretty packaging can still lead you astray

• The signs of truly skin-respecting skincare

• A gentle ritual to help you reconnect with your skin’s needs

Whether you’re a skincare lover, a label reader, or a holistic practitioner, this episode will help you rethink the way you shop, recommend, and care for your skin.
