I Just Wanted a Natural Deodorant. Things Escalated | Nadine Artemis

00:00

53:17

Join me this week, as I sit down with Nadine Artemis, founder of Living Libations, to explore the power of botanical skincare and oil cleansing for true skin microbiome health.

I share my own personal crisis finding a clean natural deodorant that actually works, which opened the door to a deeper conversation on skin ecology, plant alchemy, and switching to non-toxic beauty.

We break down why harsh detergents strip your natural barrier and how high-quality botanical oils act as a magnet to lift impurities, clear acne, and restore your biological glow without chemical residues.

We also demystify skincare trends like slugging and seven-skin layering, while shifting the conversation around safe sun exposure and red light.

If you have ever thought about ditching the harsh chemicals and transitioning your skincare routine to a more natural, botanical source, this one's for you!
