Andrea Amez - Summer Products

Andrea Amez is one of my favorite people to speak to in general, but especially about everything to do with skincare, beauty and wellness. Oddly enough, we didn't discuss any products her first time on the podcast, but today she's back with her favorite hair conditioner, lip balm, body wash, deodorant, body exfoliants, facial peels and more in tow.

Amez explains what my “acid mantle” is, how it differs from my skin's “microbiome” and how probiotic skincare impacts them both. She illuminates the thinking behind "vibrational" and "energy-based" products intended for emotional and spiritual results. She shouts out some of her favorite product lines (@aliangeskincare, @agentnateur, @oseamalibu + dozens more), calls herself a “body wash slut" and answers all my questions.

Such as:
- Should I buy the big bottle of rosewater with glycerin or without?
- What's the difference between $6 hyaluronic acid serum and $300 hyaluronic acid serum?
- Are these vegan gummies really going to hydrate my skin?
- How should I use my new Rose Quartz roller from @chakrubs?
- Why are my freckles more visible directly after sun exposure?
- Is it bad to love products?

Fresh off a trip to Mendocino, I discuss the cannabis tourism industry and wonder about what the next big cannabinoid will be (THC and CBD are 2 / 113). I also talk about William Randolph Hearst printing racist lies about weed in his newspapers because he owned huge timber holdings and paper mills and felt threatened by hemp paper. I hit my @leunebrand vapes and sip @kikoko_hq weed tea until I begin to wonder if I'm saying half the names of these beauty brands right.

I describe being in the operating room during a stranger’s Brazilian Butt Lift and the psychological reasons people love picking at their partner's skin too, both based on @wearemel stories.
