Beyond Fear: Building Trust in the Beauty Industry
Fear doesn’t make us beautiful, it makes us anxious. In this episode, I sit down with Sarah Drew, a licensed medical aesthetician from Miami, to talk about fearmongering in the beauty industry. From retinol to mineral oil, “clean beauty” labels to sunscreen myths, we unpack how fear is used as a sales tactic and why it’s time for a better conversation.
You’ll hear stories from our careers, the science behind misunderstood ingredients, and practical advice on how to choose skincare without being scared into it. This episode is about replacing fear with trust, education, and confidence, because beauty should never come with a threat.
