In this episode of ASCP Esty Talk, we're wading into the therapeutic, challenging, and sometimes controversial relationship between skin and water—specifically, ocean water, geothermal hot springs, and chlorinated swimming pools. From ancient folklore to modern esthetics practices, we're exploring how these natural (and not-so-natural) waters impact the skin, the body, and the emotional state, plus what estheticians can recommend before and after exposure.

In this episode of ASCP Esty Talk, Ella and Maggie dive into the wilder side of off-label skin care—the hacks your clients swear by (and you secretly hope they don't try). From using Monistat as makeup primer to dabbing toothpaste on zits and slathering on milk of magnesia to control shine, we unpack the surprising science, hidden risks, and when to gently intervene.

Whether these creative shortcuts are rooted in desperation, TikTok trends, or passed-down "wisdom," we're separating the myths from the mildly effective. Spoiler alert: Not all hacks belong in your routine, but some may spark a safer, pro-grade alternative.

This episode of ASCP Esty Talk explores the FDA's controversial call for in vivo testing of chemical sunscreens and what it means for the future of skin care safety. We also unpack hot-button industry issues—from greenwashing and overmedicalization to fear-based marketing, barrier damage, and the lack of inclusive testing. Listen in to hear Ella and Maggie break down the facts behind the formulas.
