SE6: EP 10 How Slow Living and Slow Botanicals Help Our Skin in Menopause

How can slow living and botanicals help our skin in menopause?

Chwynyn Vaughn of Slow Botanicals (Pronounced “Quinin”) joined me on @thrivingthrumenopause to talk about how botanicals can be healing and nourishing for our skin as we age.

Chwynyn creates beautiful, handmade skincare products made from botanicals she grows in her organic garden and harvests in the wild, including flowers, plants, mushrooms, lichens, and seeds.
