Beauty Full Stories with Erin's Faces

It's a struggle to live up to beauty standards and sharing our stories helps show that true beauty is more than skin deep. Whether it's our our weight, race, skin clarity, age, hair, or more, it can all make us feel like we don't fit in or that we're not good enough. The aim of our conversations with women is to show that none of us are alone - to share how different people have, or are working through, these challenges so that we can all be one step closer to being free of them for good. Since it's hosted by Erin Williams, founder of the clean beauty brand Erin's Faces, there's some good dish on makeup and skincare too! For more info head over to www.beautyfullstories.com

51. Rebelling Against the Beauty Status Quo with Stephanie Mero

April 26, 2022 • Erin Williams of Erin's Faces • Season 2 • Episode 51

Stephanie Mero is a consumer advocate, certified wellness coach, cosmetologist and curly hair specialist,author, a new mom and she’s featured in Episode 4 of the new series on HBO Max, Not So Pretty, which is all about the hidden hazards in cosmetics.

Stephanie used hair products herself and on her clients which initially were wonderful and then later caused her hair to fall out, causing hair loss and bald spots in both her and her clients. It’s how her advocacy was born and she challenges brands to do better and calls for more transparency. We talked about her experiences with all of that as well as challenges that come with growing up with curly hair.

Number 5 in our top seller list discussion with Josey is our Fruit Smoothie Lip Gloss which makes me so happy because when we launched her last spring I had no idea if anyone would even wear lip gloss with all of the masks!
