Hi, I'm Perry, and you're listening to the beauty brains a show where real cosmetic

chemists answer your beauty product questions and give you an

insider's look at the cosmetic industry. This is episode 365. I'm your host Perry

Romanowski and with me today is Valerie George. Hello Valerie.

Hi Perry. It's been a little while since we've done a show, but that gave us a lot of time to get a lot of questions.

So on today's show, we are going to cover, why are people putting estrogen cream on their face? Can a shampoo offset

the negative problems of hard water? Why aren't more beauty products sold in a concentrated form?

When should you apply your leave-in and styling products, and what advice do you have for future cosmetic chemists?

But before that, we just had a holiday, Memorial Day and you had a fun time down there in Texas,

yeah, well you also look like you had a fun time because you are a lobster. You have the

have the skin color of a lobster.

Well I think that is just the lighting here because I didn't really get any sun

or anything so I stayed out of the sun. Are you sure? I'm not sure but I'm

pretty sure I don't feel it. Press your skin with your fingers and does it remain white?

You are you have a little skin with your fingers and does it remain white?

You have a little, you have a little burn, a little.

Could be.

You know, honestly, I probably didn't use much sunscreen as I should have.

But I didn't use the old sunscreen

that was in your golf bag?

No, there was some sprayable sunscreen out there.

I just sprayed it right into my face like I always do.
