How to be a Redhead


S4, Ep 1: Skin Minimalism for Redheads with Orora Skin Science's Co-founder, Leslie Iddison

October 29, 2021

Happy Halloween weekend and welcome to Season 4 of the How to be a Redhead podcast! While many are piling on makeup to enhance their costumes, we're talking about skin minimalism on the first episode of the season. Skin minimalism is the practice of using 1-3 products (only) for your skin routine.


Most redheads have very sensitive skin and it can be overwhelming to pick the essential items for our skin type. We're talking with Leslie Iddison, the co-founder of Orora Skin Science. Leslie is a beauty aficionado with nearly two decades of experience in luxury beauty brands and a deep source of industry knowledge. Naturally, her lifelong passion for skincare brought her next project to light -- co-founding Orora Skin Science. As a beauty expert, Leslie identified an opportunity to democratize innovative skincare, making the cutting-edge science of beauty accessible.

We talk about how the Bioactive Collagen Serum has transformed our redhead skin, and Adrienne discusses how it has helped her acne considerably.


We ask Leslie the following questions:


1.Let’s talk about the “skin minimalism” trend! Why are consumers leaning towards this more? 


2.As a skincare expert + co-founder of the Orora skincare founder, how can you tell if you’re using too many products? 


3.It’s so important to know exactly what we are putting on our skin, especially those redheads who have extremely sensitive skin. Without getting too science-y (ha!), can you talk about a few important ingredients every redhead should have in their skincare routine?


4.At the same time, can you talk more about Orora too? There is so much confusion out there on how to properly apply your skin products. What is the correct order? 


5.What are your top tips for changing up your skincare routine this fall/winter? Is this important and how can it be done effectively at home?
