In this episode of ASCP Esty Talk, Ella and Maggie dive into the wilder side of off-label skin care—the hacks your clients swear by (and you secretly hope they don't try). From using Monistat as makeup primer to dabbing toothpaste on zits and slathering on milk of magnesia to control shine, we unpack the surprising science, hidden risks, and when to gently intervene. Whether these creative shortcuts are rooted in desperation, TikTok trends, or passed-down “wisdom,” we're separating the myths from the mildly effective. Spoiler alert: Not all hacks belong in your routine, but some may spark a safer, pro-grade alternative.

Zombie cells, or senescent cells, are aging cells that have lost their ability to divide but don't die off as they should. These cells can accumulate in the skin due to various stressors, like UV radiation and pollution, leading to a decline in skin elasticity, increased wrinkles, and a dull complexion. They can also secrete inflammatory factors that disrupt the skin's overall health, contributing to aging and conditions like psoriasis or eczema. Tune in to this episode of ASCP Esty Talk to hear Maggie and Ella discuss how understanding zombie cells should be important to all skin care professionals.
