Don't you just love when natural-beauty experts share their knowledge, but don't get all preachy about it? We do! That's why we were psyched to have Naturopathica founder Barbara Close on to talk about herbs, her holistic approach to complexion care, skin's inflammatory response to petrochemicals, and to share solid, practical advice that just makes sense. We also discuss Jenn's Sugarlash Lash Lift (click here to find someone who offers it near you); our thoughts on button-pushing beauty (and fashion) looks that aren't "pretty," in the traditional sense of the word; Flesh, Linda Wells's new line of cosmetics at Ulta; and Hwahae, a Korean app that decodes ingredient labels—and needs to be translated to English ASAP. (Calling all developers: get on this!)
We also want to remind you about our exclusive listener party at the Nexxus Salon in New York City, on July 18. If you want to be entered to score an invitation, fill out the form below:
