Is Benzoyl Peroxide Safe?: Understanding the Holistic Alternative to Benzoyl Peroxide with Dr. Stacey Shillington ND

Naturopathic Beauty's Clear Skin Sessions

As I, Dr. Stacey Shillington ND, peel back the curtain on my own struggle with hormonal acne, I invite you into a transformative discussion about the true path to clear skin. This isn't your typical skin-deep chat; we're taking a deep dive into the holistic approach that promises more than just a temporary fix. Throughout this enlightening session, I'll share why I steer clear of common quick fixes like benzoyl peroxide in my naturopathic practice, opting instead to restore balance to our internal organ systems and cultivate a nourishing bond with our skin. It's about fostering self-love and tapping into the remarkable healing powers that lie within us all.
Venture with me through the controversial landscape of benzoyl peroxide-infused skincare, where I'll unpack the startling implications of its use. Benzoyl peroxide may be celebrated for its bacteria-battling prowess, but its potential to disrupt our skin's delicate microbiome and its breakdown into benzene—a carcinogen—underlines the urgency of reconsidering its safety. I'll discuss eye-opening recent studies that bring these risks to light, prompting a necessary conversation about the unsettling levels of benzene found in this common acne treatment. And finally, I'll present you with alternative, skin-loving options that don't just slap a band-aid over the problem but address the myriad underlying issues—without jeopardizing your skin's health. Join me as we navigate this crucial journey towards long-lasting clear skin and well-being.
