After having acne as a teenager and taking several courses of antibiotics that did nothing to help, Chris found a herbalist and started taking probiotics and working on his diet. He researched skincare brands and trialed them to see which worked for him, and his lifelong passion was born.
Skincare products can contain additives which are not good for
either us or the environment. The main ones being alcohol,
sulphates, and sulphites. Alcohol is added to encourage a product
to dry, and sulphates to make the product foam, which is a
particular issue with haircare products.
If you have dry or older skin Chris talks to us about slugging
putting on a hydrating product overnight or covering your existing
products with something that locks in the moisture such as
vaseline.
Today's episode covers themes including:
- New generation sun creams have mineral and a tiny bit of avobenzone which is a fairly safe compromise but not to be used on the beach
- A good morning routine including a gentle face wash, vitamin C and a moisturising cream with SPF
- How Chris cut out sugars to test his reactions and landed on fasting for his own sustainable gut health balance.
