Is this a controversial statement? Well, it depends on who you ask. There is obviously a debate of science vs clean beauty in this industry and I wanted to hear the other side of the argument. So, I enlisted the help of @brookharveytaylor . She founded and runs @pacificabeauty and has done for 25 years. If anyone has a clear view on clean beauty, where it comes from and where it could go, it’s her. This is just an excerpt, the full interview can be read at the link in my bio. I am interested though, do you agree? Can we find a middle ground? Yes, I’ve been super busy with other work HOWEVER, I still have a few things to say in this space. Including the above. I had a few messages about my last post, in the realm of ‘I’m sorry this happened to you’ but honestly, what I’m talking about hasn’t happened to me that much. It’s what I’ve noticed and I felt someone should state what is at this point, the obvious. Which brings me to this post. You can argue all day long about what you believe to be true, reliable information. But are you actually helping those people who just want a cream because it’s cold outside? No. I really want to bring it back to the consumers. Believe it or not there are people who want an efficacious routine but don’t want to study Cosmetic Science. Do I think this post is gonna have a huge impact on the industry? No, obviously not. Actually I think the things I’ve mentioned above are probably gonna get worse. However, I need to get my two cents in because I’ve been thinking about these trends for the past year and it does bother me. The competitive, spiteful nature of this industry feels like it’s at an all time peak and it’s exhausting. And in all honesty I’m not articulating myself very well, because like I said before I’m exhausted. So, the best way I can get this message across is to share a few words on what the community was like in 2016 when I started. Wholesome, honest, trusted, supportive, enthusiastic. I was one of the first accounts that focused on education and I genuinely thought it would help the average consumer with achieving real skincare results. However, it seems to have done the opposite. Also, don’t ask me who I’m talking about because I’m not gonna say. There’s one thing I don’t have the bandwidth for and that’s having drama with someone on the internet. I have literally posted 50+ beauty Black Friday deals. Dates, codes, links everything. I think I deserve some Pumpkin pie. Link is in my bio if you’re interested, happy shopping! And Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrated 🍂 I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, barrier repairing skincare is gonna be huge because well, with chemical exfoliation, we’ve all been destroying our barriers. I have more tips so maybe a part 2 soon? Let me know! {Link in my bio} Do you use Quora for skincare questions? I recently started an account and let me tell you, the questions haven’t stopped coming. This was one of them, which I thought would be a good blog post. I’m pretty much set against discussing routines because what works for me, might not work for you but the Qs always come. So, if you’re interested the link is in my bio! {SAVE + COMMENT what #vitaminc products you’re using} Hey 👋 so glad to finally be posting some new content! How have you all been??
