About this episode

Leigh Ann discusses ancestral beauty and modern skincare practices with Nadine Artemis, founder of Living Libations.

Leigh Ann welcomes Nadine Artemis, founder of Living Libations, for a conversation on ancestral beauty, essential oils, oil cleansing, oral care, and what modern skincare may be getting wrong. Nadine shares how her childhood in nature, early fascination with perfume, and discovery of essential oils eventually led her to open one of North America’s first full-concept aromatherapy stores and create Living Libations. She explains why she looks to ancient beauty practices and pre-synthetic traditions to understand what the skin, mouth, and body actually need to stay in harmony. Leigh Ann and Nadine discuss the skin microbiome, oil cleansing, synthetic ingredients, hyaluronic acid, retinol, vitamin C, essential oils, deodorant, oral care, and the ways modern products can sometimes create dependency loops rather than true repair. Nadine also shares practical starting points for simplifying skincare, including using high-quality oils to cleanse, swapping out toxic toothpaste, and choosing products that support rather than disrupt the body’s innate intelligence.
