Ep 94 - Oily Vs. Dry Skin: Truths and Misperceptions

Oily skin and dry skin are two skin type extremes, each with their own common stereotypes, misperceptions, and truths. Does one skin type age better than another? Will water intake improve dry skin issues? Should oily skin be cleansed more often? Ella and Maggie discuss some of the common characteristics of these two skin types and their common truths and misperceptions.   About Ella Cressman:   Ella Cressman is a licensed esthetician, certified organic formulator, business owner, and absolute ingredient junkie! As an educator, she enjoys empowering other estheticians and industry professionals to understand skin care from an ingredient standpoint rather than a product-specific view.   She has spent many hours researching ingredients, understanding how and where they are sourced, as well as phytochemistry, histological access, and complementary compounds for intentional skin benefits. In addition to running a skin care practice, Cressman founded a comprehensive consulting group, the HHP Collective, and has consulted for several skin care lines, including several successful CBD brands.   Connect with Ella Cressman:   Website: www.ellacress.com   Website: www.hhpcollective.com     About Maggie Staszcuk: Maggie has been a licensed esthetician since 2006 and holds a bachelor's degree in business administration from Stephens College.
