If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by skincare, or like your routine isn’t working, this episode will help you reconnect with a more intuitive, effective, and natural approach to skin health.
In today’s world of microneedling, TikTok trends, and 12-step routines, it’s easy to feel like more skincare = better skin… but what if that’s actually the problem?
Tune-in to this episode of Grounded Wellness, where Bethany sits down with Primally Pure’s in-house holistic esthetician, Courtney, to unpack what’s really driving modern beauty culture and why a shift toward natural skincare, skinimalism, and circadian biology may be the key to truly healthy, resilient skin.
From clean make-up and minimalist routines to the truth about trending treatments like microneedling and radiofrequency, this conversation will completely reframe how you think about skincare.
Because your skin doesn’t need more products, it needs better support.
In this episode Bethany + Courtney cover:
Why the viral “morning shed” TikTok trend could be damaging your skin barrier and leading to long-term skin issues
The nuanced truth about microneedling, dermaplaning, and radiofrequency treatments– when they can help, when they can harm, and what most people aren’t told
The connection between circadian biology, sunlight, and skin health– including what happened to Bethany’s skin when she stopped wearing sunglasses
Clean make-up made simple: tinted SPF, non-toxic swaps, and the minimalist routine Courtney actually uses (plus the one product she can’t live without)
Our oil + water philosophy for truly hydrated skin– why most people are missing this step when they start using tallow and how to fix it
How facial massage and lymphatic drainage can transform your skin (and nervous system) without relying on invasive treatment
