What You Need to Know (And Be Skeptical About) Regarding the Class Action Against Sephora
You've might have seen a story making the rounds about a woman who lost her peripheral vision due to her beauty products. Before you freak out, we discuss our questions about the story as well as what you should keep in mind when it comes to purchasing skincare. (Watch the video we reference from Charlotte Palermino here.) We also discuss (what we feel is a) bogus Class Action lawsuit against Sephora and why it doesn't make much sense from a logical standpoint. Plus, Sara is obsessed with a $24 red liquid lipstick that comes in a perfect shade for every skintone.GlossAngelesPod.comhttps://linktr.ee/glossangelespodCALL US: 424-341-0426Shop products from our episodesJoin our FB Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/glossangelespodcastInstagram: @glossangelspod, @kirbiejohnson, @saratanTwitter: @glossangelespod, @kirbiejohnson, @saratanEmail: glossangelespodcast@gmail.comWatch our episodes!CALL or TEXT US: 424-341-0426Instagram: @glossangelspod, @kirbiejohnson, @saratanTwitter: @glossangelespod, @kirbiejohnson, @saratanEmail: glossangelespodcast@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.

The Ultimate Pregnancy Skincare and Beauty Episode: What Do Avoid and More
So you're trying to get pregnant or you're currently in the midst of pregnancy. It can be confusing, scary and lonely — and that's not getting into the beauty conversation of it all. However, we are a beauty podcast and we often get questions about how to create your pregnancy skincare/makeup/haircare routine: what to avoid, what's "safe," what treatments and ingredients are okay to partake in (or not). We have both a board-certified dermatologist and OB/GYN on the podcast to share their thoughts. While we recommend consulting your personal doctor, we are thrilled that both experts — who we interviewed separately — are aligned when it comes to what's okay to use and what you should avoid during pregancy. Dr. Laura Scott is a board-certified dermatologist and has she served as the Associate Director, Skin of Color Division at University of Miami, Dermatology. Dr. Sara Twogood board-certified obstetrician-gynecologist who practices at Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles and is the co-founder of Female Health Education, a website providing comprehensive information and education about pregnancy and gynecology topics. You'll learn about what ingredients are great to use during pregnancy, what myths you've probably heard passed down from generation to generation that need to be debunked, what data is available for the safety of specific actives, and why we shouldn't blame our skincare routines or why we may not be able to conceive. Plus: can you use microcurrent when pregnant? Can you get rid of stretch marks at home? Why should you avoid hot baths or hot tubs? Will long-term birth control affect your ability to get pregnant? Is exercise a concern during pregnancy? Any many more of your questions, answered.
