Shea Marie, Founder of The Feelist
Send us Fan MailLet’s ChatOver the past decade, entrepreneur and creative director Shea Marie has developed a devoted following of millions, and her position as one of the world’s top influencers has landed her jobs with the largest beauty, health, wellness and fashion brands. From her own devoted social media following, to Same, her best-selling brand of luxury swim and resort wear, Shea continuously proves to be successful in all her endeavors. High profile collaborations with prestigious brands and publications have positioned Shea as a highly sought after creative and thought leader in her industry.Shea first entered the world of clean beauty after discovering her own sensitivities to many of the harmful ingredients contained in skincare and wellness products. Her position in the industry has allowed her to try nearly every product, treatment and beauty/health offering on the market.Her initial interest in plant-based skincare came about as she searched for a more holistic and natural approach to her wellness routine. But navigating the “natural” landscape was tricky, most products seemed small batch and untrustworthy, with no branding or reliable history. “They were the type of products I hid away in my medicine cabinet.” Said Marie. (Far far away from the beautiful #shelfie photos that frequent her social media accounts.) “But they were working. It really was CBD specifically that made me believe in the power of plant-based wellness and skincare.”Shea knew that if she was looking for beautiful trustworthy products in the space, others would be too and set out to build a brand whose mission is to create clean and functional products that truly make you feel like your best self. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/skincareanarchy/messageSupport this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/skincareanarchy/supportSupport the Show.Follow The Show On All Socials Using The Tag @skincareanarchy Hosted on Acast.

Skincare Hygiene: Best Practices
Send us Fan MailLet’s ChatSkincare HygieneNever place dropper DIRECTLY onto skinWhy? Enterobacter, Klebsiella, Escherichia coli, and Proteus spp. are the predominant Gram-negative organisms found on the skin.Most bacteria that are listed here grow in a moist environment. Therefore, logic dictates that when you apply a dropper directly to the skin and pick up even one or two of these bacteria on the tip and then put that same dropper back into your skincare vial, the likelihood of them contaminating and multiplying in the mixture is high. Most skincare e products contain ingredients like natural sugars or glycerin and even water which are all mediums that can grow these gram negative rods. However, these are not the only bacteria found on skin. Depending on the location and environment of the skin’s micro environment, various pathogens are prominent in different areas. Some of the most common concerns that can arise due to poor skincare hygiene are:AcneContact dermatitis Bacterial rashes Breakdown of the immune barrier leading to opportunistic infections by viruses or fungiSo what should you do to practice better skincare hygiene?Use your dropper to dispense desired amount of product directly into your palm, making sure to not make contact directly with skin. Also, cleaning the dropper tip with a sterile alcohol wipe is not a bad idea (DO NOT RINSE UNDER TAP WATER). Allow the dropper to air dry (5-10 seconds) and reinsert into vial.Skin health is a very tricky area of science and with an increasing awareness of the micro biome, it is important to understand how bacteria grow and function. Also, do not share skincare with friends and others to help avoid the spread of any contact related reactions. It’s just like makeup- sharing lipsticks is looked down upon and so should sharing droppers. We all have a unique micro biome working to protect our skin and therefore it is important to utilize these common safety measures to ensure and also rule out any causes of certain skin pathologies like contact dermatitis or a rash. This also helps provide more information for your dermatologist if something goes wrong so that they know you’ve been practicing good hygiene habits and can avoid redundancies in patient history. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/skincareanarchy/messageSupport this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/skincareanarchy/supportSupport the Show.Follow The Show On All Socials Using The Tag @skincareanarchy Hosted on Acast.
