What skin treatments should I do the day before my wedding?
What skin treatment should I be getting leading up to my wedding?
I do actually have this in my book, is a event prep. Just getting a really good facial the night before. But you do not want to get any kind of treatment a week before, a couple days before, because if you have any purging effects that will come after a good treatment, those will come within a few days. So if you want to look your best and most glowy, you literally do something the day before. You don't want to do anything new right before something like a wedding. Ice rollers. Only for inflammation. You don't really need these every day. Red light therapy.
Love. Face taping. The best ever. Beef tallow. No. Finish the sentence. Most overrated skincare product. Tretinoin. Most underrated. Castor oil.
Every year, women spend billions chasing perfect skin, Botox, fillers, lasers, medical-grade skincare. But what if the beauty industry is creating customers instead of actually creating healthy skin? Today's guest spent over 20 years inside that world before her own health completely collapsed. After Botox poisoning, breast implant illness, years of gut issues and rebuilding her health from the ground up, she is exposing what she says the beauty industry gets completely wrong about aging, skincare, inflammation, hormones, and what actually keeps your skin looking young. If you are an OG Culture Apothecary listener, you may remember licensed esthetician Jamie McGuire. She was one of the first guests I've ever interviewed.
The interview was massive. So after this one, go back and listen to that episode if you want more skin and beauty stuff. Everybody loved Jamie, so I am stoked to have her back now that she has a brand new book called Skinfluenced. Watch this episode on the Real Alex Clark YouTube channel or Culture Apothecary on Spotify. Please welcome esthetician and author of Skinfluenced, Jamie McGuire, to Culture Apothecary. You spent decades helping women chase beauty, and now you're saying, hey, I actually think the industry is selling women the wrong dream. So what changed for you?
I got poisoned with Botox, so that was a huge eye-opening experience that... Made me realize what I already had a inkling on, which was that a lot of the things that were told about beauty industries and their different treatments and different products are somewhat a lie. So I worked in med spas for decades. 10 plus years in L.A. and I kept seeing these same treatments and women over and over spending thousands of dollars without getting real results or at least results that I found to be worth it. So when I put two and two together after getting poisoned, I was like, well, maybe there's something kind of more sinister going on.
How does the med spa industry actually work? Is it similar to a doctor's office where a pharmaceutical rep comes in and tells you, this is the treatment, this is the machine, and then, I don't know, you guys are just supposed to do it and they take you out to lunch and smooze you? How does it work?
It's a little more... casual because basically they're going to interact with you as if they're your best friend meaning the front desk the practitioner to the client or customer so they have more of a casual friendship kind of bond is the way that you start off think about any you know sales girl right so you go into like a clothing store and they're trying to get you to try on all these different outfits you only want to go in there maybe to look around and browse and But yet the sales girl is like there to know this will look great on you. And let me put this in your dressing room. Kind of similar to that, right, where you're your guard is now coming down. They're either complimenting you a lot and they're giving you like these little buildups only to get you in a room to talk about all of your insecurities and definitely play on those in order to sell you a bigger package, a bigger treatment.
So. I was one of those girls that did that. I feel bad about it now, but that's why I know the other side of it where a lot of consumers do not.
