When it comes to skincare, loads of products line store shelves. Almost all of them make bold, anti-aging claims (fountain of youth, anyone?).

But buying All. The. Products. comes with hefty financial and environmental price tags: If we want to age gracefully, what’s the average woman to do?

On today’s show, board certified dermatologist Dr. Mary Alice Mina makes the case that using too many skincare products is unnecessary at best and potentially harmful at worst.

Here’s a preview:

[4:00] What we’re doing wrong when it comes to skincare from a dermatologist’s perspective

[7:00] Transitioning from reactive quick skin fixes to long-term, preventative care

[11:30] Holistic skincare means skin cancer prevention: Here are the latest sunscreen guidelines

[17:00] Products we *actually* need (versus products we can confidently eave on the shelf)

[30:00] When, where, and who re: toner, exfoliant, and other ancillary products

Plastic Free July

What started in 2011 with just one woman and a small local government has exploded into a worldwide movement of over 174 million people. That movement is Plastic Free July.

Yet 15 years after the challenge’s inception, plastic production continues to exponentially grow. It’s all-too easy to dismiss the challenge as little more than an opportunity to post a picture of a bamboo toothbrush on social media.

But we aren’t just facing a litter problem anymore; we’re facing climate and health crises. A July that’s free of plastic is about building permanent habits, changing your relationship with “stuff,” and sending a clear message to corporations that you don’t want all this plastic junk.

On today’s show, challenge leader Emily Emond joins us to share her top tips for cutting through the overwhelm and setting yourself up for success during Plastic Free July.

 

Here's a preview:

[6:15] Is Plastic-Free July beneficial, or purely performative?

[9:00] On why using less plastic is supports your family’s health

[13:30] Set yourself up for success: Five things you can do right now

[23:00] Nothing changes if nothing changes!
