3: Breaking Beauty Myths & Stereotypes with Jessica Defino

If you don't know Jessica Defino yet, you need to. She is a beauty reporter gone rogue, calling out the industry's BS - from questionable ingredients and marketing (even "clean" skincare is on her target list), to impossible beauty standards rooted in white supremacy, colonialism, and the patriarchy. You will never see skincare quite the same after this episode or reading her thought-provoking weekly newsletter, the Unpublishable. In this episode she shares the tipping point that made her question everything she knew about skincare (hint: after using a dermatologist-prescribed pharmaceutical to solve one skin problem, it created another, perhaps worse problem), what she now sees as skincare (food, thoughts, manuka honey...) and what popular products and trends are doing more harm than good.
