Ep 34 | What’s the Problem with Skincare & Cosmetics? | Naturopathic Takes on Hair Removal, Deodorants & MORE! | Our Low-Tox, Holistic Skincare Routines

You asked, we... tried to deliver! In this ep we're exploring skincare, makeup, deodorant, hair removal, pubic hair from a naturopathic, holistic perspective. We share our stories, what we use, ingredients we avoida, and how becoming naturopaths made us get-real (and low-tox) with our skin. We cover the physical risks of using conventional skincare & harsh ingredients, as well as the cultural narratives we’re sold, to (literally) sell products, the environmental impact of modern skincare & how living in alignment with your values when it comes to skin is the most important point. Because yes, your skin is an organ & the first line of defence for your immune system, and yes, what you put on it matters!

The Nuanced Naturopaths Podcast is a friendly conversation between two friends, us! Karinda and Julie. We’re passionate about finding the nuance in natural health. As degree-qualified naturopaths, we like to ask the questions that need to be asked - about all aspects of health, healing and well-being. We delight in questioning firmly held beliefs and finding the nuance in all subjects health-related and beyond. Sometimes it can get a little technical, but hopefully we explain things in a way that's accessible to anyone interested in natural health, whether you’re a practitioner or someone who wants to learn more and optimise your wellbeing. It’s a chat about poop, periods and everything in between - buckle up for a laugh, a cry and for some things you are yet to consider about your health! Stay nuanced!
