Choosing Skin Care Products for Different Types of Skins with David Brooke

David Brooke from Skin Essence is joining me again in this episode since we ran out of time in the previous one (Organic, Holistic and Natural Skincare). I got so much great feedback and tons of questions from listeners about the importance of our skin care and about understanding what is in the skin care products we are using, as well as the overall impact that some chemicals can have, not only in how our skin looks and feels, but also internally.    In this episode, we are diving deeper, talking about the hormonal impacts of skincare, since some products work as endocrine and estrogen disruptors. We also talk about the sustainability aspect of our product choices, and how to choose the right products for different types of skin.   Here are the main topics of this eye opening conversation:   ● The importance of what you are absorbing through your skin. ● Your skin naturally create oils, not creams. ● Oils vs creams. ● Oils for different type skins. ● The healing power of calendula. ● The hormonal impact of skincare products. ● The skincare industry is a self regulated one. ● Affordable and healthy skin products. ● When to start using oils on children. ● Regimes for three different skin types: aging skins, sensitive-rash prone skins and acne prone skin.  ● The importance of exfoliation. Hoping you start putting all these great tips and advice into action to improve your health and looks. Wishing more simplicity and ease in all that you do!
