Yes! I would definitely be interested in hearing more about this in podcast form.
Side note, this reminds me of a question I’ve been wanting to ask you: do you have any articles where you talk more about showers? I’ve learned so much from you about the skin on my face and have drastically cut down my skin care routine and products thanks to you. However, and this may be a silly question, but does the skin on our body (below the neck) work the same way as the skin on our face? It hurts and disgusts me to see how many plastic bottles of body wash, feminine wash, and lotion I go through, not to mention the amount of money I spend on all this stuff! (I’ve yet to find a bar of soap that doesn’t leave my skin with that weird rubbery feeling afterwards, so that’s why I opt for body wash) Do you have any resources that you’ve written in the past that you can direct me to that would also help me cut down the amount of products I use when I shower? Thank you!
Hi Jessica, I would love a podcast by you! I've learned a lot about my skin since I started following you, I dug in in late July and read a bunch of your past newsletters and articles. I pretty much just wash my face with water unless I've got makeup on (which is maybe once or twice a month over the last few months). My skin can't handle SPF no matter what I try - even Kari Gran's broke me out. That being said, only water washing once a day has made a huge, positive difference! My skin is a lot clearer and I don't have any irritation. If I need to, I just moisturize with a couple drops of Dr. EJ's serum. So yes, you've really made a big difference in how I approach my skin and I'd love a podcast!
On another note - I read James Hamblin's book and was inspired to stop using commercial shampoos...I tried for 2.5 months and gave up. I'm now back to washing my hair every other day and feel like I can't stretch it any further than that. Any thoughts on shampooing? I feel like getting off soap (except for hand washing and other sanitation situations) was not that difficult. But shampoo is a whole different level for me.
Jessica! I've become so inspired to cut back on my skincare routine from your articles. Also I think I read somewhere you're working on a book, and I'm personally so excited. Your writing is beautiful! Thank you for sharing all your knowledge with us.
I'm currently using a chemical based sunscreen, but I've been wanting to switch to mineral since I've read they're safer. Are they actually safer? Do you have a particular brand you've fell in love with? Also, wondering if there are more articles/info about prebiotics. I hadn't heard of this before in regards to skincare and not supplements. Is it a serum?
Yes, please do a podcast! I'm new here and absolutely loving what you are writing about. I have never really had a skincare routine, I've always just used some type of over the counter face wash scrub and a moisturizer but thats about it. I just recently started to become interested in my skin - I have mild breakouts and rosacea. I started by getting a facial and then literally spending $250 on products. Then I heard you as a guest on a podcast and I felt silly, and enjoy your approach much more financially, and just the fact that it all ties back to beauty standards that are designed by men which really just pissed me off. Can I ask 2 questions? 1. did the years of using crappy chemical scrubs and not taking care of my skin cause irreversible damage to my barrier/microbiome? 2. i love the idea of manuka honey and jojoba oil, but what about for tough hormonal breakouts? I tend to break out the most around the time of my cycle. Thank you in advance for any response given, and thank you for the information you've already shared!
Would love anything (or recommendations) for perimenipause. My skin is DRY no matter what I do (lips, hands, cuticles, privates). My skin routine looks a lot like yours minus the seed cycling.
Jessica! Your work has changed so much of my life and I'm really thankful for that! Personally I weaned myself off of my Curology subscription over the last month and am trying to support my skin's inherent (and magical!) capabilities. It's been a journey of highs and lows but my bank account and my body are much happier mostly being left alone. I would love a podcast; I feel like I can't learn enough from you!
