What’s going on with sunscreen this week? We’ll explain why two brands issued recalls and bring you up to speed on the benzene controversy, and then we chat about other fun beauty things: NuFace’s new serums (do you need them to make your device work better?); a petrol-scented perfume; how the Western diet causes skin inflammation (and how to reverse it); and more. After the news, it’s time to relax! Jess shares her experience with the Sensory 7 Crystal Chakra Bed and Energy Bath at Modrn Sanctuary.
