Is Your Skincare Routine Aging You Faster? With Jessica Rose, Author of Healthier Beauty

EP 14. Are you drowning in beauty products but your skin still looks dull, irritated, or aged? In this episode of Well Done, I sit down with Jessica Rose, licensed cosmetologist, wellness educator, and author of "Healthier Beauty," to completely flip the script on everything you think you know about skincare and beauty.

Jessica reveals why the "more is better" approach to beauty is actually aging your skin faster, how your immune system is directly connected to your skincare routine, and why that expensive retinol might be doing more harm than good. As someone who's struggled with chronic skin issues myself, this conversation opened my eyes to how overuse of actives and products, and not paying attention to toxins, may contribute to a weakened skin barrier, and how a simpler, science-backed approach can transform not just how you look, but how you feel.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• The surprising link between skin health and immune function
• What most people get wrong about “clean” and “natural” labels
• A game-changing method for achieving great hair that goes beyond knowing your hair type
• The ingredients Jessica considers most overrated 
• Three product swaps you need to make TODAY
• The NUMBER ONE factor affecting how your skin looks
• The food that Jessica calls "liquid beauty gold"
• How lifestyle factors can age your skin faster than sun damage
• How Jessica uses goat kefir as a natural exfoliator and other must-try DIY beauty recipe
