Welcome to the Rachel Varga podcast, where we talk about all things beauty, skin care, and aging. Today's episode is going to be a little different than our usual content. We're going to talk about the dark side of the beauty industry and why it's important to avoid toxic skin care products and rejuvenation treatments.As a skin care nurse, I've seen countless patients come to me with concerns about aging, fine lines, and wrinkles. And while there are many effective treatments available, there is a dark side to the industry that we need to address. Many of the products and treatments available are not only costly, but they can also be filled with gimmicks and toxins that can actually make you age faster.That's why in my practice, I encourage my patients to focus on non-toxic beauty and inflammation reduction lifestyle habits through biohacking and functional wellness. It's normal to feel like self-care is all about vanity, but taking care of your skin and body in a healthy way will actually slow down the aging process.One of the things I want to stress in this episode is the importance of avoiding mass products beauty brands that are using toxic canola oil now as it is cheaper. These products may be more affordable, but they can have serious long-term effects on your skin and overall health.If you're looking for non-toxic beauty options, I highly recommend checking out my website at rachelvarga.ca/favorites, where I've listed my top nutrition and biohacking tools.And speaking of my website, I'm almost ready to launch my personal skin care and beauty line focusing on skin radiance, product and ingredient energy optimization.
