SHOW NOTES
Randy opened the show with an alarming Beauty Science News report about the recent FBI warning on counterfeit cosmetics. They’ve found phony cosmetics contaminated with arsenic, aluminum, beryllium, cadmium, bacteria and even human urine! Listen to the episode to find out how to spot these fakes and what action to take when you do.
Our listener question of the week comes from Wade who wants to know which personal care products are essential so he can minimize his routine. We break it down like this:
1. What kind of cleaning products do you need?
2. What kind of grooming products do you need?
3. What kind of odor control products do you need?
