“Inflammation is all around us, it affects our health, our skin, and it’s something we need to pay attention to.”I had the pleasure of sitting down with THE Dr. Barbara Sturm to discuss her life-long love of science, her journey as an entrepreneur, and of course, her iconic line of skin care products. To my long-time listeners you know that beauty editors live for this brand, and are particularly grateful for it’s Darker Skin Tones line. And so of course, I had to sit down and talk to the famous doctor herself about why she created these products in the first place. But that was just the beginning. Tune in for an extremely informative episode on anti-inflammatory skincare, the challenges of creating expensive products, and so much more!Links to Products/Resources Mentioned:Foam Cleanser, Enzyme Cleanser, Darker Skin Tones Face Cream, Hyaluronic Acid Serum, Glow Drops, Lip Balm, Anti-Pollution Drops, Skin Food, Brightening Food, Sleep Food, Anti-Pollution Food Hosted on Acast.

Aala Marra is a very special person who's been able to self-heal and overcome a lot! Only 26, she's deeply aware of her purpose and it's so inspiring - I got a little emotional during this one. Revisiting this episode from 2018, tune in to hear a timely discussion on the importance of self-care. She's Sudanese-American and grew up in between cultures. We talk about how Sudanese women approach beauty, her relationship with her hair and how it changed when she got sick. Women's health and chronic illness is something that's not discussed often and so Aala is willing to talk about her private experience in detail – from the moment her hair kept falling out, getting rashes on her skin, experiencing chronic fatigue, migraines, muscle pain, etc. and then slowly rebuilding from there.We discuss the role of doctors verses a holistic approach, how her illness made her feel ugly for the first time in her life and how to handle a serious diagnosis. She discovered Dr. Sebi and began implementing these holistic principles to create a cleanse. An elimination diet addressed her gut/digestive issues. Aala explains how she compliments herself to feel empowered and how minding your business, drinking water are her top beauty tips!Links to Products/Resources Mentioned: Dr. Sebi, I am The Cleanse, Macrobiotic Bowl , Sweet Almond Oil, Jojoba Oil, Coffee Grounds Body Scrub Recipe,Raw Honey + Avocado + Blueberry Mask, Hosted on Acast.

“Approach everything in life with compassion, and before you know it you will feel the shift”  When you meet Trinity Mouzon, it immediately becomes clear that she not only understands wellness, but truly lives and breathes the concept. After growing up in Saratoga, New York, and watching her mother’s health drastically transform through the use of holistic treatments, Trinity became enamored with the idea using food as medicine. However, after learning that holistic medicine often failed to provide economically sustainable solutions, she set out to create a brand that could truly bring wellness to the masses. From there, GOLDE was born. Tune in to hear the full story behind her growing business, favorite beauty products, and experience as a young, black, female entrepreneur! Links to Products/Resources Mentioned: Heat Free Hair Clip-Ins, Moisture Love Hair Care Line (use code: NAKED), VPL Masks, GOLDE Clean Greens Mask, GOLDE Lucuma Bright Face Mask, Supernal Cosmic Glow Oil, AquaBliss Shower Filter, Mondo Mondo (Cowboy), Our Skincare Questions Answered ft.

For Zoë Foster Blake, beauty should never be taken too seriously. Growing up in Australia, skincare and makeup equated to great conversation and community-building. But after years working as a beauty editor at Cosmopolitan and Harper’s BAZAAR, she found herself feeling bogged down by the complicated messaging that the industry had to offer. So in 2014, Blake decided to break out and establish her own brand, Go-To Skincare. With witty copy and clean ingredients, Go-To has clearly filled a much-needed gap within the beauty market. Tune in to hear us discuss the importance of protecting your skin barrier, how to achieve the perfect brow, and so much more! Links to Products/Resources Mentioned: SKINCARE: Fancy Face, Face Hero, Very Useful Face Cream, Exfoliating Swipeys, Transformazing Sheet Mask, Exceptionoil, Gro-To Nourishing Baby OilMAKEUP:  Laura Mercier Cream Eyeshadow, MAC Cream Eyeshadow, Maybelline Cream EyeshadowRESOURCES: Amanzinger Face, Making Faces, Bobbi Brown Books, Air Kisses Formula 1Join the Naked Beauty Community on IG: @nakedbeautyplanet Rate, Subscribe & Review the Podcast on Apple Thanks for all the love and support.
