145: The Problem With Sensitive Skincare Products No One Talks About w/ Rachael Pontillo

There are countless sensitive skincare products available today. For people with skin rashes and dry skin, these products seem like the right fit, because "dry" and "rashes" often go hand in hand with "sensitive". My guest today will debunk this common misconception. My guest today is Rachael Pontillo, a holistic skincare innovator, author, and educator. Rachael is the bestselling author of the book Love Your Skin, Love Yourself, and co-author of The Sauce Code. She’s a functional nutrition practitioner, AADP and IAHC Board Certified International Health Coach, licensed aesthetician, and natural skincare formulator and educator.

She’s an avid herbalist, skincare ingredient aficionado, and lifelong learner. Rachael is also my good friend.
