The ladies are together again! For our first episode back, we’re jumping right into sunscreen, starting with BEMT (bemotrizinol), the first new sunscreen ingredient approved in the U.S. in decades. We break down what makes it different, what we know about chemical sunscreen safety, how often you really need to reapply, and whether the SPF in your makeup is enough.Then, in our Consumer Corner segment, we answer one of your skincare questions.
