Description
Embark on a journey through the digital maze with the ever-astute Dr. Michelle Wong, our guide from Lab Muffin Beauty Science, as she unpacks the peculiarities of social media's impact on mental health. She maps out the terrain of Facebook's familiar ground, wades through Twitter's rapid streams, and scales the trendy heights of TikTok and Instagram, all while juggling a spectrum of audience feedback. Our conversation reveals how certain corners of the internet can become sanctuaries, albeit sometimes ensnaring ones, for content creators like Michelle. The art of dealing with comments, particularly on a platform like YouTube Shorts, emerges as a tightrope walk between constructive dialogue and the odd internet skirmish.Prepare for a dose of vitamin "Sea" as we sail into the tempestuous waters of sunscreen debates with Michelle, our science-first skipper. We chart the reasons why sun protection stirs up such a squall among consumers and navigate through the misinformation cyclones fueled by entities like the EWG. The discussion anchors on sun safety, the underestimated importance of vitamin D, and how public health advice must be a tailor-fit life jacket for individuals. Our exchange promises to leave you both sun-kissed with knowledge and shielded from the burn of skincare myths.As we cap off this episode, we scrutinize the toxicity of benzene exposure and dismantle the 'natural versus synthetic' barricade that often clouds public judgement. Michelle lends her expertise to demystify the relationship between skincare, diet, and the waves of wellness trends that lap at our doors. We leave no stone unturned, from the market tides of coconut oil to the biohacking craze, and Michelle even teases her book, "The Science of Beauty," as the compass for navigating the enigmatic world of beauty products. Tune in for a concoction of humor and hard science that will sate your curiosity and perhaps inspire a more enlightened skincare routine.You can find Dr. Wonghttps://www.tiktok.com/@labmuffinbeautyscience?lang=enhttps://www.instagram.com/labmuffinbeautyscience/?hl=en Support the showYou can find us on social media here:Rob TiktokRob InstagramLiam TiktokLiam Instagram
