60. Looks Clean, Acts Dirty: A "Clean Beauty" Reality Check

Posted by Stratum Aesthetics on

Clean skincare is everywhere. But what if clean isn’t enough?
In this episode, I’m breaking down one of the biggest misconceptions in the beauty world: that clean, natural, or non-toxic skincare automatically equals good skincare. Spoiler alert—it doesn’t.

We’ll explore:

  • What “clean” really means (and why it’s not regulated)

  • Why some clean products still leave your skin dry, flakey, or reactive

  • How to tell if a product actually supports your skin’s function

  • Why apps, influencers, and pretty packaging can still lead you astray

  • The signs of truly skin-respecting skincare

  • A gentle ritual to help you reconnect with your skin’s needs

Whether you’re a skincare lover, a label reader, or a holistic practitioner, this episode will help you rethink the way you shop, recommend, and care for your skin.
