Ep. 165: Redness, Rosacea, Face Dandruff & All the Weird Stuff

This week, dermatologist Francesca Fusco, MD, is here to teach us all how to "search and destroy" skin issues like redness, rosacea, angiomas, seborrheic dermatitis, and so much more. She also shares her favorite skin rejuvenators, like thread lifts and the product one of her patient calls "Jesus in a Bottle." Before that, we discuss solutions for dry toenails, the disappearance of the world's frankincense, and California's law banning discrimination based on one's hairstyle.

Listen, we know the beauty world is a wonderful place to take a break from the heaviness of the “real” world and its troubles—and we want to bring you a fun, lighthearted, informative podcast—but we hope you’ll stick with us this week as we talk about some less frivolous matters that are important to us. And, as always, let us know what you think by DMing us on Instagram, emailing us (info@fatmascara.com), or posting on our private Facebook page. We read it all and want to hear what you have to say.
