Ever wondered why that expensive skincare product isn't delivering results? Or why your face breaks out despite trying every trendy solution on TikTok? Registered nurse and aesthetics business owner Kelsey pulls back the curtain on the skincare industry in this eye-opening conversation.
"The future of skincare is natural, healthy, safe, regenerative," Kelsey explains, but that doesn't mean what you might think. We discover why medical-grade products often outperform drugstore alternatives (it's all about molecular structure and stability), which ingredients actually penetrate the skin, and why some viral trends like beef tallow are skincare disasters waiting to happen. Turns out that clean girl aesthetic isn't just about looks—it's backed by science.
What surprised us most was learning that effective skincare doesn't require a complex 12-step routine. Kelsey walks us through the essential four steps everyone needs: cleansing, addressing specific concerns, moisturizing, and sun protection. The shocking revelation that just two sunburns per year significantly increases skin cancer risk had us reaching for our SPF before the episode ended.
Beyond product recommendations, Kelsey shares her inspiring journey from hospital nurse during the pandemic to successful business owner, offering wisdom about entrepreneurship, work-life balance, boundary setting, and not letting fear prevent you from pursuing your dreams. Her candid approach to managing multiple priorities and "reframing" difficult situations provides valuable perspective that extends well beyond skincare.
