(Amazon affiliate link). Takeaways Avoiding toxins and allergenic ingredients in everyday products is important for overall health and well-being. There is a difference between irritants and allergens, and understanding this distinction can help in identifying and avoiding potential skin reactions. Fragrances, both natural and synthetic, can be a common cause of allergic contact dermatitis. Finding skincare products that work for sensitive skin can be challenging, and it often requires trial and error. The beauty industry needs more research, regulation, and education to ensure the safety and efficacy of products. Simplify your skincare routine and eliminate potential irritants to identify triggers for skin reactions. Reintroduce products one at a time to pinpoint the cause of skin problems. Skincare for young children should involve minimal washing and exposure to some dirt. Excessive cleanliness can disrupt the immune system and the skin's natural balance. Fragrance and essential oils are common culprits for skin reactions and should be approached with caution. Regulations in the skincare industry need to prioritize transparency and provide options for fragrance-free products.

Ever wondered why you lost that hair during that stressful spell at work? Or why a third of those strands fell out during your pregnancy? Sandy and Chan go deep on the three types of hair loss that affect one in five people. Hair loss can be caused by many reasons: pregnancy, stress, trauma, disease, treatment for disease (such as chemotherapy) or the natural aging process. Scientifically, these types are known as  male-pattern hair loss, female-pattern hair loss, alopecia areata, and a thinning of hair known as telogen effluvium.  Here are some of the treatments and products we mentioned in the episode:  Oral Minoxidil -- here’s a great article, 10 things you need to know about minoxidil for hair loss from Dr. Jeff Donovan, a Canadian dermatologist, who’s at the forefront of using minoxidil to treat hair loss.  And here’s a study from Dr. Renee A. Beach, another dermatologist using minoxidil to treat hair loss -- even in women. Rogaine Viviscal Saw Palmetto Don’t forget to subscribe and rate us on Apple Podcasts.

Our first listener questions episode in AGES! Sandy and Chan take their first-ever live listener question, and it’s about the horrors of teen acne, and the way some simply dismiss what can turn into a life-changing problem. A question by voice memo from Nancy inquires about post-menopausal acne. “Plumpuffs” from Instagram seeks recommendations for chemical exfoliators for women in their 40s. Via Instagram, X-Martin asks why skin reactions happen with products you’ve used in the past without problem. Plus: @bigdunkel wonders about the timing of transitioning babies from skincare products for infants. AND whether exercise is good for the skin!  (We love questions by voice memo—simply record them on your smartphone’s voice-recorder app and email the file to beyondsoappodcast@gmail.com.)   In the baby skincare answer, Sandy references the commentary she wrote about Pediatric Dermatology. Here’s the link: Commentary on “‘Hypoallergenic’, ‘Sensitive Skin’, and ‘For Kids’: Has industry improved labelling standards when it comes to sunscreens? The anti-aging exercise effect is described by Dr. Mark Tarnopolsky in the 2015 study, Exercise‐stimulated interleukin‐15 is controlled by AMPK and regulates skin metabolism and aging. And then the New York Times’ Well blog wrote up Tarnopolsky’s research based on a presentation he did at a scientific conference: Younger Skin Through Exercise.  Don’t forget to subscribe and rate us on your favourite podcast app!  Visit our website at beyondsoappodcast.com.

Probiotics and prebiotics are all the rage in skincare, but do these buzzwords actually mean anything? What is the microbiome? And what does it have to do with the fight against aging? To find out, Sandy and Chan interviewed Dr. Jack Gilbert (@gilbertjacka), microbial ecologist at the University of California (San Diego) and co-author of Dirt is Good: The Advantage of Germs for Your Child’s Developing Immune System.  But before we get to Jack, let’s talk about Sandy’s latest challenge! Chan sent her to Hoame in Toronto, to its salt cave. Interested in learning more? Check it out at hoame.ca. Now for the microbiome! Learn more about Dr. Jack A. Gilbert:  His book is Dirt is Good.

Everybody’s talking about the Goop Lab, the Netflix show starring Gwyneth Paltrow and her $250-million lifestyle brand—which, incidentally, deals with much of the same self-care anti-aging subject material as Beyond Soap. So we decided it would be fun to talk to the global expert on Goop and its sometime aversion to science-based therapies: Timothy Caulfield, author of Is Gwyneth Paltrow Wrong About Everything? and Relax, Dammit!: A User's Guide to the Age of Anxiety, out spring 2020.  Caulfield also is a law professor at the University of Alberta, and maintains a really fun Twitter feed. Plus, his own TV show is really cool: A User’s Guide to Cheating Death.    For your reference, check out the Goop Lab on Netflix. (The anti-aging show is episode four.)

Learn how aggressive cleansing rituals and modern-day beauty products are negatively impacting our bodies.It’s one of our most vital organs, yet skin is among the most misunderstood parts of the human body.In her new book, Beyond Soap, Dr. Sandy Skotnicki sheds new light on our understanding of skin and explains how aggressive cleansing rituals and modern-day beauty products are negatively impacting our bodies.From eczema to dermatitis, Dr. Skotnicki reveals the compelling correlation between our modern-day hygiene practices and a global uptick in skin problems. She cites research indicating how frequent all-over washing and harsh cleansers play a role in predisposing kids to irritating skin conditions and atopy-related allergies.Rather than slathering on soaps that disrupt the skin’s pH and bacterial properties, Dr. Skotnicki argues for a less-is-more approach that protects the body’s inherent barrier and microbial protections that assist with many of the body’s core functions including digestion, mood stabilization and immunity.Listen as Dr. Skotnicki joins Dr. Roizen to share more about this topic.Want better health and nutrition?

In this feature episode, Chan reports back on the challenge Sandy gave her in Episode 7, which was to swap out her foaming, fragranced hand soap for a Cerave Cleansing Bar, which is less drying than traditional soap.    Then, they share a hot tip from a listener who says she’s using The Ordinary’s glycolic acid to eliminate her underarm body odour.    In the dermal dive, Sandy and Chan tackle bespoke skincare -- the idea of made-to-measure or physician-prescribed skincare. Is this the future of skincare?  The two hosts discuss the microbiome, DNA, serums, subscriptions and more. For a list of all brands Chantel and Sandy discuss, head over to the Beyond Soap website.    Finally, Chan challenges Sandy to a salt cave experience at Hoame. The negatively charged ionized salts are supposed to draw out toxins and impurities, reduce inflammation, boost energy, clear out lungs and reduce anxiety. We’ll see what Sandy thinks in two weeks!    If you have any questions for us, send them to BeyondSoapPodcast@gmail.com This episode was produced in conjunction with Ghost Bureau Content Services and audio producer Russell Gragg.

In this very special holiday mini-episode, we share our favourite 12 listener tips to get through the holidays! We had so much fun reading all of your fantastic tips — thanks to everyone who sent them in.   Tip #1: Drink sparkling water with lime to feel full and stay low on calories.  You can also ask for your water in a lowball glass if you don’t feel like telling people you aren’t drinking, or add flavouring to soda water to make it more fun than plain water and encourage you to drink not only alcohol but water too.  Tip #2: Swap your wallet for a micro bag. Keep a small bag that has all your essentials at the office so you're ready to go at any time. Tip #3: Style your hair with dry shampoo.  Sandy likes:  Not your Mother’s Clean Freak Dry Shampoo (fragrance free) Klorane Extra Gentle Dry Shampoo with Oat Milk Chantel likes: Batiste’s new De-Frizzing, Hydrating and Volumizing Dry Shampoos Tip #4: Prevent blisters and be ready for them when they happen.  We like:  Compeed Blister Plasters Dr. Scholls Also: Keep ballet flats in your purse or carry a cloth shoe bag for indoor shoes so you’re minimizing the time you’re wearing those uncomfortable shoes.  Tip #5: Invest in a portable charger for your iPhone and you never run out of juice. We like the Aukey Power Bank Tip #6: Substitute going out for drinks with friends to celebrate the holidays with a trip to the yoga studio or spa to spend some quality time together. Tip #7: Keep a fake tree in the living room and a small real tree in a pot in the kitchen for the kids to decorate as they like. It still gives you the smell and the scent and it's not as messy.  Tip #8: Use a moisturizing face mask that you don't have to wash off so you’ll be more inclined to use a face mask before bed.  Chantel likes our sponsor Esthederm’s Intensive Hyaluronic Mask Tip #9: Try to exercise every day no matter what, because it helps you sleep better and you feel less stressed.  Tip #10: Spend a little longer blow drying your hair on the weekend. Then before bed, twist your hair into a topknot and secure it with a scrunchie. This prevents you from getting frizz and bedhead while you sleep, and lets you go for more days without washing your hair.  Tip #11: Nap.  Tip #12: Don’t say yes to every party invite.  Thanks to everyone who sent in their tips!

Step 1, wash face. Step 2, tone. Step 3, apply serum. Step 4, hydrate. Sound familiar? Most of us have a facial routine that looks something like this.
