Hi, I'm Valerie, and this is episode 193 of the Beauty Brains, a show where real scientists answer your beauty questions and give you an insider's look at the beauty product industry.

I'm your host Valerie George and with me today is my co-host

Perry Romanoi. Hi Perry. Hello Valerie. On today's episode we're going to be answering your

beauty questions about yeast infection medicine to treat

hair loss? Whoa. I'll take that one. Is it is an organic facial mask worth buying?

And what's the deal with mineral oil? Is it bad, good, or indifferent?

Well, Perry, how have you been this week? I feel like we haven't had a chance to catch up. We've had a little bit between

episodes. I know we've both had a bunch going on.

It's been a busy summer. I was traveling last week. I went to Pittsburgh and this week I went to Milwaukee. such great cities you know and I think you're off

Somewhere next week right? San Francisco next weekend then Orlando the weekend after that then then I'm going to

going to Milan. Oh my God.

And then a couple weeks after that, California.

That's right, California.

Yeah, pretty much you're basically going to miss fall in Chicago. You know what I'm also missing though? I

planted a garden in the springtime. You know I like to garden a little bit and I'm growing all of this kale. Do you like kale? I do I do. I'm living in

California. It should be California. Well I did not know that I kale, but I was doing that one of those meal services, Blue

Apron or something like that.

Although this isn't a plug for Blue Apron, but Blue Apron did get me to eat kale which I never ate before.

Anyway so I had this I get all this extra kale and I put kale in everything I put kale in

you know salads on hot dogs in omelets I made a kale pizza.
