5 Ingredients We Typically Avoid in Skin Care Products
Our job is to try everything at least once, but that doesn't mean we don't pump the breaks when it comes to certain ingredients. We've learned over time what our skin can withstand, and we notice patterns when it comes to how our skin reacts to specific ingredients. Is it the ingredient itself, or how it's formulated? Consider this episode your roadmap — by no means are we saying all products with these ingredients are bad, but if you find your skin is breaking out, overly sensitive or has developed an adverse reaction to a certain product, this can help you narrow down a possible culprit.---Thank you to our presenting sponsor, HUM Nutrition!Glow Sweet Glow ($25)What's on Your Face?
