229: Welcome to The Healthy Skin Series! Episode 1: Beauty Grows in Sicily, with Furtuna Skin Co-Founder Kim Walls

***Use code WEGOTTATALK on the Furtuna Skin website for a 20% discount!*** Welcome to The Healthy Skin Series, a miniseries on We Gotta Talk where I'm interviewing various experts and founders on how to achieve healthy skin. On the first episode, I'm talking with the founder of one of the lines that's always on my top shelf (and in my nightstand!), Furtuna Skin. Kim Walls has studied biochemistry, skincare and nutrition for two decades, and along with Furtuna Skin co-founder Agatha Luczo, has launched a line that comes from the heart and the hills of Sicily, Italy. Combined scientific knowledge with the wisdom of plants, Furtuna Skin has some incredible products that I always have on hand. I'm a fan of their gentle micellar water (perfect for a gentle AM cleanse when I don't want to *wash* wash my face), their bi-phase oil (which I literally leave in my nightstand and use as a last, replenishing step), and most recently have become obsessed with their azure-colored beauty, the Olive Replenishing Balm. Join us as we talk: + The pro-aging mentality, versus anti-aging + The wildly potent plants from the organic Furtuna farm in Sicily that feed their formulas + What it's like visiting the Furtuna farm + What makes olive oil a uniquely powerful skincare and nutrition ingredient + Why we're being gentler on our skin--avoiding harsh "anti-aging" ingredients and instead leaning into gentle ones + Protecting and re-building the skin barrier ...and more! Follow Kim on Instagram here, and check out all of Furtuna's amazing offerings here. Start with the products above; you won't be sorry! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wegottatalkwithsonni/support
