I’m sad because I can’t edit this post, I don’t usually make the their/they’re mistake:( I was typing quickly because I’m so passionate about SPF. Please don’t judge me, I feel it’s still a sound comment.

“All natural” products can be the absolute worst because of the inclusion of volatile plant extracts and essential oils, which wreak havoc on skin, so your instinct to avoid those is a good one. The fact you’re reacting to SPF in makeup as well as moisturizer makes me think you have an issue with zinc oxide, a…

I sell skin care and do consultations, that’s my business. It’s very stressful though, I have people coming in wanting glycolic acid and other anti-aging products who don’t realize the less fun products I’m selling, like they’re daily SPF (daily! not just “when I’m in the sun,” UVA takes just 20 seconds to start…

And they underestimate the risk—melanoma-rated deaths rates in people of color are increasing, I’ll be back once I find that citation...

I can tell my adviser my opinion on something and he will instantly dismiss it with (literally) a wave of his hand. Then a few days later bring it up as his idea. I feel like I’m taking crazy pills.

I’ve had terrible reactions to medication, one life-threatening. I did get 23 and me testing done and see some mutations that would explain that. I also would like to concentrate on more important things than my health detective work, it’s so boring at this point. Once science figures out a way to fix gut bacteria, if…

Exactly. I fantasize about the day genetic testing helps people understand the best diet for themselves because clearly there’s no one diet that could fit all, that makes no sense. Until then, we all just have to experiment. I’ve had so many issues with food, GI issues that are mostly stress-related, and certain foods…

The expression on her face and the bad airbrushing of her skin make me unhappy. Her whole campaign makes me unhappy. It just all seems so forced, she’s not likable. And stop yelling, obviously I’m going to vote for her anyway.

I don’t see why this needs to exist. Chin lipo and tucking doesn’t mess up the rest of your face and is pretty subtle as cosmetic procedures go. This seems to have more potential downsides, and what happens if you get rid of the fat but the excess skin from stretched out fat chin still exists? It’s not addressing that…

Yep. She ran a racist campaign against Obama and I’ll never forgive her. It’s a terrible thing for Democrats that she’s running again. I don’t understand the women who want ANY woman, just ANY woman, just to prove a point for feminism.

I realize this is a touchy subject... My "two cents" as a service industry professional: I tip very well myself, always more than 20%, because I know how much it can make my own day when someone tips more than I expect—it's such a huge morale boost. The service industry can be so awful. So, I love to give that boost…

combination of blue shirt and green jacket she chose to wear on broadcast television, as well as the decisions leading up to her belief that anyone (but especially herself) could pull off that "clasp at the neckline" look

Haha, I also wear makeup every day and go around singing "I'm aliiiiiive, I'm aliiiiiiive" so maybe you're not the LAST unicorn. Man I love your comment.

Original Cetaphil is terrible, it doesn't clean well AND it has sodium lauryl sulfate, which can be irritating—obviously was for you! Sodium LAURETH sulfate you might be fine with. And the newer Cetaphil cleanser, the gel one, is a decent cleanser. But yeah, the original one is awful and derms need to stop…

I am so enamored with you I can't even. Thank you so much for doing this. I give this speech almost daily to my clients. Also, the paraben speech. It's such a difficult battle, presenting this info in a sea of misinformation and fear-mongering. Plus, you are a great writer. Keep on spreading the good word!!!
