Episode notes
Straw Use Causes Wrinkles
- Repetitive pursing of lips, such as when using straws, causes barcode lines or smokers lines around the mouth.
- Amy avoids straws or alters use to reduce these wrinkles and recommends retinoids and sunscreen to help collagen.
Choose Dermatologist-Backed Brands
- Choose skincare brands created or consulted by dermatologists for better ingredient credibility.
- Brands like Naturium, Prequel, and those owned by big companies often involve dermatologists.
Preservative Fear Is Overblown
- Fear around parabens and sulfates is largely unwarranted and based on misinformation.
- Proper preservatives, even parabens, prevent mold and bacteria in skincare, keeping products safe.
