Summary

Jess & Jenn compare their experiences with laser facial treatments (Fraxel, IPL, Nd:Yag, etc). Then: What does “clean” beauty mean? A Sephora lawsuit could change the way brands and retailers talk about natural vs. synthetic ingredients and “no-no” lists. Plus: a Singapore-based hair-removal salon compares women to orangutans; there’s a perfume that smells like WD-40; scientists measure smile attractiveness after orthodontic treatment; and we raise wands to a juicy lipstick, a “Top 10” eye cream, and a new(ish) tubing mascara.

remember is the early days of the podcast. She got like IPL on her freckles once and she calls it

0:45.3

the big hot bacon grease. No, what's that? That was a Q-switch-yag laser. Oh, Q-switch-yag.

0:51.5

Okay. That was a IPL. Oh, please. That's time. Did they give you light a cane cream or any sort of

0:56.8

numbing before that one before the Q-switch-yag? Yeah. I mean, this was 10 years ago.
