Episode notes
Pore Care
- Cleanse your skin daily with a gentle, acidic soap (pH 3-4) to remove sebum.
- Think of pores as volcanoes–they enlarge to expel sebum if clogged.
Sun Protection
- Protect yourself from sun damage year-round, even with minimal exposure.
- Avoid peak sun hours and use physical protection like hats and umbrellas.
Safe Sunscreens
- Use sunscreens with safe ingredients like ethylhexyl triazone, diethylhexyl butamido triazone, and bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine.
- Avoid oxybenzone, octocrylene, and salicylates due to potential endocrine disruption.
