You pay so much careful attention to the ingredients that go into your meals, but have you ever considered using that same discernment with what you slather on your skin? As today's guest likes to say, the skin is a sieve, and what you put on your body is just as important as what you put in. Brian Vaszily joins JJ to discuss the state of the conventional skincare industry and to bust a myth that has been one of JJ's long-held beliefs—that it is impossible to achieve great anti-aging results with organic beauty products. Wrong! In this episode, you'll learn all about the loose regulations on chemicals in cosmetics in the US, the ingredients to avoid, and the marketing tricks that companies use to give their goods a health halo. You'll also learn why Vaszily doesn't recommend retinol, and the natural alternative he does recommend that gives equal results. You'll also hear recommendations on how to buy cleaner products moving forward, such as the most important areas of focus when selecting ingredients and the independent certifications to look for that help you know you're choosing a quality product. Being in your 40s and beyond doesn't mean you're over the hill. These are truly the best years of your life, and finding the right organic anti-aging cream and other skincare products can help you look as amazing as you feel.
