Ep. 372: Varicose Vein Treatment, Desk Lipsticks & The Week’s Beauty News

How do you fix varicose veins on your legs? Jess shares her experience getting endovenous laser therapy (EVLT) and a microphlebectomy, and explains why varicose veins are different than spider veins, the symptoms, treatments (some may be covered by medical insurance), and what healing has been like for her. (Warning: She explains the details of her procedure, so you may want to skip that part if you’re squeamish.) Before that, we discuss price increases at The Ordinary; Goop’s Hands Off My Vagina candle; Rebundle’s sustainable, plant-based hair extensions; and asbestos contamination in talc-based products. Plus, which lipsticks are worthy of the title “desk lipstick”?
