Summary
On today’s episode, I’m joined by Carlene Higgins and Jill Dunn, the hosts of the Breaking Beauty Podcast, for a deep dive into what’s really worth your time and money when it comes to skincare. We break down celebrity beauty brands and what makes some succeed while others fall flat, unpack the rise (and fatigue) of the clean girl aesthetic, and discuss where to save vs. splurge in your skincare routine. Carlene and Jill also share their personal retinol routines, thoughts on ingredient-driven brands, K-beauty favorites, and how to think about skincare maintenance on a daily, monthly, and yearly basis. From smart investing in actives to beauty trends we’re ready to leave behind, this episode is packed with practical, expert-backed insights for navigating the beauty industry with confidence. Enjoy!
