Katonya Breaux On Skin Cancer

 Happy Wednesday!

Today we released another  vio777 episode of the GTFOOTS podcast & today’s guest is Katonya Breaux. I loved this conversation SO MUCH because we talked all things SPF.

Katonya spent the first 20 years of her career in the construction business & NEVER thought she would end up in the skincare industry. She grew up in Los Angeles & spent a lot of time outdoors — never wearing sunscreen & figuring that dark skin wasn’t as affected by the sun.If you GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE SUN, this episode with Katonya is for you, & so is my new book. It’s full of so many tips & tricks to prevent damage in the first place. Plus, it’s cute & pink. Looks good on a coffee table, k?

Listen to Katonya’s full episode here where she breaks down common chemicals in sunscreens, misconceptions about sun damage  rentapress in the dark-skinned community, & protecting your pet from the sun too.

But after one visit to a dermatologist to have a mole checked out, she was told it was from sun damage. She went to buy sunscreen & was frustrated by the lack of clean sunscreen products for people of color. So she founded Unsun Cosmetics which provides clean, no-residue sun protection products. It’s so major.

She has played a HUGE role in educating people of color on the need to protect their skin from sun damage & skin cancer & she’s had a big influence on making sure the skincare industry is becoming more inclusive.

Be sure to listen to her full episode  genztrending because she breaks down all things SPF/sunscreen — from micro level ingredients, to blue light & what effect it actually has on your skin, to how to incorporate SPF into your makeup routine.
