Hey, Fat Mascara Fam! Our guest on this episode is Dr. Barbara Sturm, founder of Dr. Barbara Sturm Molecular Cosmetics. She talks about her skincare line, the problems with over-exfoliation (she is not a P50 fan), vampire facials, and why lowering inflammation and activating telomeres are the keys to great skin.
We also discuss our favorite charities to support this time of year (the list is below) and why we're obsessed with L’Oréal Elvive 8 Second Wonder Water. Lastly, we talk about the House of Representatives Committee on Energy & Commerce’s hearing on Building Consumer Confidence by Empowering FDA to Improve Cosmetic Safety (if you have three and a half hours to spare, you can watch it here) and an article about the hearing on Good Morning America’s website.
Below are links to the people, topics, and products mentioned in this episode. If you have any questions (or just want to say hi) reach out to us on Instagram, Twitter or via email (info@fatmascara.com).
