Summary
Which clean beauty tools, products, and routines are actually worth the investment? Erin is sharing ALL of her favorite gadgets and gizmos, the items she’s tested, loved, and repurchased, plus the ones she regrets spending money on.
You’ll hear about the red light mask that noticeably helped her rosacea, to facial cupping, collagen, tinted moisturizers, and the OneSkin formulas she swears by that have truly made a difference in her skin health.
But we’re also digging into a much deeper layer of the beauty conversation: how the $6.3 TRILLION dollar wellness industry uses shame-driven messaging to convince women they “need” more products to be healthy or attractive. Erin explains why foundational habits like nutrition, hydration, movement, and stress support matter far more than any $100 face cream, and how to stay grounded when the marketing tries to convince you otherwise.
Think of this episode as your go-to clean beauty guide that’s practical, honest, and NOT rooted in fear-based selling!
In this episode:
- The $6.3 trillion wellness industry’s favorite tactic, and how shame marketing silently shapes your beauty choices
- The ONE <$80 lymphatic tool that Erin swears has delivered the most noticeable skin improvements
- Why Erin believes “skin is an inside job” and which lifestyle factors actually make the biggest difference in aging
- The red light mask Erin uses daily, what it does at the cellular level, and how it helped her rosacea
- Which high-end products earned a permanent place in Erin’s routine… and which expensive gadget she almost never touches

| 0:13.6 | It is. |
| 0:14.5 | It's our shame that's carrying this long. |
| 0:17.1 | Shame is a really, really, really, really, really potent tactic because we will do anything to avoid shame. So as soon as they get us in the shamy bits, we're like all in. We're all in. And we've seen this for decades and decades with diet culture. You know, oh, you're a fat pig. You just need to be skinny in order to be of value, in order to be loved, in order to be acceptable |
| 0:38.6 | by the male gaze. So we're going to sell you the solution. We're going to stoke the fear. |
| 0:43.4 | We're going to stoke the shame. And then we're going to sell you the solution. Once we've |

| 1:18.1 | how to heal, and this show is going to show you how. If you're looking for new ways of thinking |
| 1:22.8 | about your health, be sure to follow and share with a friend because you never know whose life |
