RETINOL PART 1: The art of knowing what you are putting on your skin

For the third episode of "What you don’t know might kill you" we bring you the fixation of any tiktok skin care girly: RETINOL.

 

The skin care product taking the world by a storm for its potent anti aging effects; we uncover in this preliminary episode (because we yapped too hard and had to split it in half) what is retinol, where does it come from, and what are we trying to fix by using it. We talk about the affects of aging on our skin and what causes it.

 

You'll have to tune in next week for the second half where we discuss what retinol actually does, and how to analyse different types of media that are often trying to sell us something and how you can be an informed consumer making smart (and hot) decisions about your own body and the products you use.

 

And if you like us please give us a lil follow here and rate us five stars so I can tell my mum I'm going to make it as a podcaster.
