  • 007. UV Damage: Gel Nails, Tanning Beds, Sunlight
    Jun 15 2020

    This week in our Vanity Lab this week we will clue you guys in on what Unilever is doing to help prepare employees for a post-COVID-19 world, which UV damage is the worst for you, and how companies are collaborating in unexpected and innovative ways during quarantine! Hosted by Laura Lam-Phaure and Emmy Lovell

    [Emmy] I definitely didn’t use to be as stringent about my sunscreen use – and I suffered a lot of sun damage while growing up. Thankfully I’m a lot better about it – and while I still love basking in the sun with a good book, I do so slathered in SPF and reapply on the hour. What has your relationship with tanning been, and do you have any favorite SPFs that you can’t live without? Let us know! As always you can find us on Spotify and Apple Podcasts – we'd really appreciate it if you could leave us a review or give us 5 stars as it will help us be found by more amazing humans like you!

    "The aluminum salts do not work as antiperspirants by being absorbed in the body. They work by forming a chemical reaction with the water in the sweat to form a physical plug... which is deposited in the sweat duct, producing a blockage in the areas that it's applied," says David Pariser, MD, professor of dermatology at Eastern Virginia Medical School..."
