Skincare Tips, Menstrual Discs, and the Yuka App Controversy: A Canadian Influencer's Advice

Canadian Medical Aesthetician Maja, known online as @majnar, recently shared skincare advice in a video that has garnered significant attention. She encourages viewers to switch from tampons to menstrual discs, citing environmental and health benefits. "Use a menstrual disc instead," she advises. "It's comfortable, you won't leak, it's more affordable, and it's better for the environment." However, her claims about oat milk and the Yuka app are more controversial. She states that oat milk's high sugar content increases inflammation, leading to acne. She also criticizes the Yuka app for its alleged bias and lack of detail. While her advice on menstrual products is sound, further research is needed to verify her claims regarding oat milk and Yuka. The video's popularity highlights the public's interest in natural skincare and sustainable alternatives.
