Liam Hemsworth. Diving boards. Accutane (a.ka. Isotretinoin). what do all of these things have in common? Nothing, except for the fact that we somehow weave all three into a rich tapestry that is THIS EPISODE! After taking some time to rest (jk, we were overwhelmed by other things in life lol), we are BACK, baby, with a super-rich deep dive into Ellen's final stretch of Accutane, one of the most powerful acne drugs available through a dermatologist in the United States. We'll take you on a deep dive into the symptoms and solutions Ellen has discovered in her course of this prescription drug .

Hi Zitties! We took a week off from publishing, but now we're back with an episode on 🦠THE MICROBIOME🦠To cover this topic, we're leaning on the 2020 book Clean: The New Science of Skin. There's a vast ecosystem on your face that affects your health and appearance, and it's a beautiful thing. We'll talk about prebiotics, probiotics and the new Wild West of microbiome-targeting skincare, PLUS a chat about why skincare isn’t well-regulated in the United States. Finally, if you don't already love ceramides, we'll give you another reason!

Doo doo doo doo! Today, we're talking about 🌱clean beauty🌿 and the overwhelming number of skincare products on the market that promise prettiness, hope and a "natural" lifestyle. To discuss this topic, we're leaning on the excellent research by James Hamblin, M.D., in his 2020 book Clean: The New Science of Skin. With this book as our guide, we're excited to bring you the first in a lovely little two-part series about the skincare industry and the skin microbiome. Digressions include: showering as a coping mechanism, Glossier and r/Skincareaddiction.
