Hi, I'm Perry, and you're listening to the Beauty Brains, a show where real cosmetic

chemists answer your beauty product questions and give you an

insider's look at the cosmetic industry. This is episode 364. I'm your host

Perry Romanowski and with me today is Valerie George. Hello Valerie. Hi Perry it's

good to see you. You too. We briefly saw you last week, but it wasn't long enough.

But you know what? Isn't long enough either, our showtime, because we've got a lot of questions on today's show.

We're going to cover questions, including is

sun powder a sensation? Does a corneometer measurement prove a moisturizer works better, what does melatonin do in a body scrub, what

does it mean when a shampoo claims it promotes hair growth and can eyelash serum really cause

dry eyes? But first, I'm Chit-Chat. Yeah, you know, it reminded me,

Valerie, I only saw you last week in the airport because I missed you at the show.

I know it was so busy. It's such a great time to see people get caught up in conversation.

I know we tried to hang out a couple times after the show, but I had a class to teach online and we just didn't get to connect.

That's right you were quite busy.

Which is okay you know I got to see you right there at the end and you know I was

those shows you go to these trade shows and you're walking around and you know a bunch of

people and then 20 minutes later you just got to move to the next booth

there's no way you can get to everybody. No, especially people really know who we are.

Right, right. I tell you, I'm not very good at ending conversations. I know. So sometimes I will like just avoid starting it and you know I don't. I don't. Maybe I have some social anxiety or something or it's the ending that always gets me.

What if we're the ones who keep people engaged and they're thinking, geez, I can never

get away from Perry and Valerie?

It could be.
