Busting The Most Common Skin Care Myths with Cosmetic Chemist Ava Perkins

#040 In this episode, Ava Perkins, a cosmetic chemist and science educator, joins the host to debunk common skincare myths. They discuss the misconception that our skin absorbs 80% of what we apply to it, the belief that self-tanner is bad for us, the idea that naturally derived ingredients are better, the myth that products with fragrance are harmful, the misconception about the need for toners, the belief that castor oil promotes lash growth, the controversy surrounding medical-grade skincare, the safety of parabens, and the truth about hyaluronic acid application. Ava provides scientific explanations and clarifies the facts behind these skincare myths.
