I don’t like Paula Begoun. She practises a kind of Cosmetologic FUNDAMENTALISM that derives in Populism.

I find she is a REDUCTIONIST and lacks a real scientific background about the complexity and variability of human skin and living beings.

Besides, she seems also to lack a transversal view on contemporary culture, which is a very important factor to critizise marketplace, branding, material culture, emotional factors on consumer products, etc from an anthropological perspective.

I would summarize her books and approach as INTRUSISM, over-simplification and pure POPULISM.

The key is to stay educated! (For a full post on drugstore versus department store products, please click here.) [...]
