We all love the idea of 'clean beauty' and people will spend a lot on products that promise just that. But did you know that 'clean beauty' doesn’t really have a clear definition? This can make things pretty confusing for us as consumers.

For some people, it may mean products without synthetic chemicals, while for others, it’s all about using natural or plant-based ingredients, or animal free testing. But because there’s no set standard, what one brand calls 'clean' may not match your definition of 'clean.' It really depends on the brand you choose, and there's no universal standard. Unfortunately, it's mostly a marketing term by brands today.

Tune into this week's recap episode, where I share key insights from the latest podcast episode featuring Dr. Lindy Fox.

Key Takeaways:

- Clean beauty is a marketing term with no clear definition or standardization.

- Skincare products labeled as 'natural' can still contain ingredients that are harmful or allergenic.

- Fragrances and essential oils are common sensitizers and allergens in skincare products.

- Patch testing can help identify potential allergens in skincare products.

- A simple skincare routine with a gentle cleanser, moisturizer, and sunscreen is sufficient for most people.

- Consistency is key in achieving healthy skin.
