    A PhD Cosmetic Chemist Breaks Down The WORST and BEST “Viral” Skincare Products

    The real reason your skincare routine might not be working. In this episode of Face It, Bari sits down with Dr. Julian Sass — a cosmetic chemist and PhD known for breaking down skincare formulas online and reviewing hundreds of sunscreens — to separate what's actually effective from what's simply viral marketing. Julian translates ingredient lists into real-world outcomes so you can finally shop smarter, cut through the noise, and stop wasting money on products that don't deliver. This is an honest, no-fluff breakdown of skincare science — without the overwhelm. We cover: "Sass or Suss" — Julian reacts to the internet's most-hyped products in real time What standout (and questionable) ingredients are actually doing to your skin Whether "more ingredients" actually means a better product What truly makes a formula bad for your skin How to think about products that start with water The truth about fragrance on labels and what it really means The difference between "no fragrance" and "fragrance-free." Why "clean beauty" claims can still be misleading or irritating How to read an ingredient list without getting overwhelmed Chemical vs. mineral SPF — the practical differences that actually matter Why some sunscreens cause breakouts (and how to avoid them) Whether higher SPF always matters The truth about white cast, "clear/transparent" SPF claims, and combo products The best SPF options for deeper skin tones with minimal to no white cast Drugstore vs. luxury skincare — is there actually a difference? Whether TikTok skincare hacks are helping or hurting most people Julian's closing advice for anyone trying to shop smarter

    Hygiene Expert On The Truth About Body Odor, Sweat and the Hygiene Habits Nobody Talks About

    The real reason you still smell after you shower. In this episode of Face It, we talk hygiene with Madame Sweat (Mary Futher), the internet’s go-to hygiene expert, to break down the everyday habits that feel clean, but might actually be doing more harm than good. From rushed showers to reused towels and overlooked routines, this conversation exposes the small things that can quietly impact your skin, your hygiene, and your overall health. We get into what sweat actually does, why odor isn’t always what you think, and how common hygiene habits—from underarm care to your home environment—can affect irritation, breakouts, and long-term skin health. This is a fresh, honest take on hygiene without the shame—just real information that actually helps. We cover:  Why smelling clean doesn’t always mean you are clean  The biggest shower mistake people make (and why you still smell after)  How to actually wash your “smelly areas” the right way  The truth about underarm hygiene and why deodorant isn’t enough  Why quick showers and “one soap for everything” don’t work  The real reason body odor happens (and how to prevent it)  Why reusing towels might be worse than you think  How your bathroom environment can affect bacteria growth  What your sheets, pillowcases, and mattress are doing to your skin  The difference between deodorant and antiperspirant (and what to choose)  Why natural deodorant “doesn’t work” for most people  The biggest hygiene mistakes people make at home (that no one talks about)  How sweat actually works (and why it’s not the enemy)  The truth about shaving, odor, and bacteria buildup  Everyday hygiene habits that can lead to irritation and breakouts  The right way to build a hygiene routine that actually works
