Which clean beauty tools, products, and routines are actually worth the investment? Erin is sharing ALL of her favorite gadgets and gizmos, the items she’s tested, loved, and repurchased, plus the ones she regrets spending money on.

You’ll hear about the red light mask that noticeably helped her rosacea, to facial cupping, collagen, tinted moisturizers, and the OneSkin formulas she swears by that have truly made a difference in her skin health.

But we’re also digging into a much deeper layer of the beauty conversation: how the $6.3 TRILLION dollar wellness industry uses shame-driven messaging to convince women they “need” more products to be healthy or attractive. Erin explains why foundational habits like nutrition, hydration, movement, and stress support matter far more than any $100 face cream, and how to stay grounded when the marketing tries to convince you otherwise.
