My Journey to Conscious Skincare

<p>When the beauty industry throws around terms like “clean,” “sustainable,” and “cruelty-free,” it all sounds well and good. But what does it actually mean? For this solo episode, I partnered with Ulta Beauty to break down the ambiguous terminology and to share my personal journey in establishing a conscious (but not perfect) skincare routine. Tune in for my favorite Ulta brands and products that are working to create a positive impact for people of color, the environment, animals, and so much more.
