Ep. 52: Disrupting and dismantling the beauty business with beauty reporter Jessica DeFino
So excited to share this episode with you! If you want to hear refreshing, honest commentary on the beauty industry from someone who clearly does their research, then this is the episode for you. Jessica DeFino is a beauty writer based in New Jersey, but I like to think of her as more of an investigator. She's written for the likes of Harper’s Bazaar, The Zoe Report, Allure – the list goes on… During that time Jessica has created a niche for herself as someone who doesn’t believe evetything that big beauty has to tell us. Of course that means she's had her detractors along the way, and in this episode I really wanted to know how she deals with all the Instagram comment debates. I also wanted to know how she found her way to a more natural beauty vibe, after dealing with Dermatitis and the effects of the prescription steroids she was put on to 'cure' it. Today her regime is really, really minimalist, as in, it's just rose water and Jojoba oil for her day to day skincare. I also wanted to know if she intentionally tried to dismantle the beauty industry to gain a following, and she's super honest with her answer.
