Can you get addicted to lip balm? We’re sharing the definitive answer from an expert—but, tbh, we’ll probably ask again next year. Plus, we talked to a dermatologist about why a few people with cosmetic fillers had allergic reactions after getting their COVID-19 vaccine. And there’s lots of beauty news to discuss: animal-testing progress; Unilever’s social-equality goals; a teledermatology report card; and a new way to predict when your hair will go gray.
Below you’ll find a list to some of 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).
