Sephora tower 289/22/2023 ![]() ![]() And I really felt like that as I started researching at the National Eczema Association is not only strict in terms of like don't use these ingredients, but they actually require you to third party test to make on humans to make sure that there is no irritation. And since I have been so deep into like the forums and all of that, to try to understand what I could do about my eczema, I really came to appreciate the National Eczema Association for how specific they were about what they weren't including and how dedicated I felt like they were because there are some seals out there, which you may or may not know, but you can just pay a fee to and they um, you know, they're not as strict about the usage of their seal. ![]() But then I started worrying that it was potentially, I don't think it's the cause of many of my eczema, but I do think it can exacerbate things if you're using the wrong thing on your skin.Īnd so for me, that became really important and I was already following the National Eczema Association to help understand what kind of soap I should use, like detergent, what kind of um daily care I should be using. And a lot of that is probably a result of the fact that like, you know, I could get my, because I had been in the industry a long time, I had a lot of makeup, I had a lot of these things, so it was easy for me just to default to the thing that was like free or whatever. And truthfully, the last thing I did was switch over my makeup and my beauty routine. And when I was at specifically when I was working at josie maran was around the time where so Josie was really early in the clean beauty space and that in combination with the fact that I was pregnant and I was starting to have kids, was really when I started thinking a lot about eating healthier switching, you know, just trying to live a more clean lifestyle, I would say. And also I could feel good about putting on. So not necessarily 100% natural, but just products that weren't going to make my skin worse. ![]() So, what I was really looking for were products that were not only safer, my sensitive skin, but also nontoxic and clean, right? And so I really wanted to wear makeup, right? I think there's an expectation that you do wear makeup when you work in the beauty industry, But that I was concerned, I was worried that I was making my own skin worse by doing so. You know, I was always the in marketing and so I was the person who was selling in the new line of products into Sephora and into Nordstrom and Bendel's and all these retailers and saying, look at this amazing new foundation or skincare products. And I think the hard part of the combination of those two experiences is really when you work in the beauty industry and I think you're I mean, I think for people in general, but when you are in the industry and I think you're so aware of the way that you look and that you present, especially as somebody who is selling. So around the time I was in college I started getting eczema and have really never quite kicked it. I've basically had eczema my entire adult life. And really the impetus to that is even longer than I worked in the beauty industry. ![]()
