Hey, everyone. It's Fatma Scarra. I'm Jess. I'm Jen. Hi. Welcome. I'm so excited. This is our big interview show. We have Sean Garrett here. And I got to tell you, I've been talking about Sean Garrett ever since I experienced his signature facial. He is known for creating something called a moisture sandwich. And he moisture sandwiched me up at my dual

appointment because you know, now he is an ambassador for doer. That's right. And I cannot get that term out of my head. It just makes me so happy. Just thinking about it. And I think of him when I am like applying moisture. And I'm like, wait, am I putting this on top of dry skin? And that's not going to help me. I need to moisture. And then moisture. Anyway, I didn't do a moisture sandwich today. And I can feel it. I can tell the days I say I want to the day Sean. Yeah, he'll tell us all about it and other things. So just to give you a little background, he's an esthetician clearly also a makeup artist. We learned, by the way, he's from Baltimore, Maryland. Now based in New York,

the city where he sees private clients does virtual consultations. And he's really focused on skincare education and creating content. The spring, as Jess said, he was named your beauty's new US skincare expert, which you may remember, because you got a facial from him. And we talked about it. He's also touched the skin of many a star because one of them being Rihanna, because prior to this role at do or he served as a fenty beauty ambassador. So we have Sean here to tell us all things skin, but really to talk about his place in the skincare world and his story.

And he got into all this, which is the best part about him hearing about him. You know, absolutely. I'm so excited to hear from Sean. Sean Garrett, you are literally glowing. You're drinking a machete, macho latte, macho something. What is your life like right now for those of us who don't know you. Tell us about your life. My life is.

I think things are aligning like where they should be like with work. I'm very happy with work for the first time in a long time. I'm like getting my health in order. Like I have new doctors. So I'm like up on my health again, which I kind of neglected for so many years, because I was focusing on work.

And like, you know, I'm dating. I'm going out. My social life is good. My work life is good. My money is good. Thank God.

So, so it sounds like it was, it was, this was hard one. And it was like you started from the bottom, maybe? Yeah, like the bottom of the bottom.

The bottom of the bottom. The bottom of the bottom. So tell us about that. Well, I come from Baltimore, Maryland. You know, it's like a, it's a small town. Very, very small. Everyone knows everyone. It's a tough city to grow up in.

Especially in Baltimore city, you know, it's a lot of crime. It's a lot of drugs. It's tough living, honestly. And it's mostly because of the circumstances that the people that live in these, you know, specific areas kind of have to go through, you know, the city really doesn't get a lot of help.

And so a lot of people suffer there and they kind of hustle for a lot of what they get. I grew up in a really amazing family.

And I was really taught like a strong work ethic from like the time I was little. And so I was always like a hustler, a driver driven and always was like career oriented.

So even when I was super, super young, my mom really instilled in me to figure out what I wanted to do so that I wouldn't have to end up like a lot of people that were in our neighborhood at the time.

Yeah. And, you know, my grandmom worked like, you know, two, three jobs and she ran like a summer camp, a Christian summer camp program nice to go to.

And, you know, my mom, you know, I've seen like I think like since I was little, I remember my mom was in school like my whole life.

Like she was always in school, getting new degrees, leveling up, getting new positions to, you know, take care of us and get my brothers in a better position.

And it really just drove me to figure out what I wanted to do. And it took a long time, I think for me to really figure out where I wanted to be what my passion was and what like what was going to be the thing that really kind of drove me to I guess find the career that I really wanted.

And luckily it was skincare and it was kind of always scanning it was always beauty. I just kind of always avoided it.

And then when I finally just kind of gave into it, it worked out.

How did you land on that like how old were you like when did you discover skincare? What was that moment?

I discovered skincare very, very young. I mean, I grew up in a house full of women. All of the women in my family are like very glamorous girls.

They're very glam, you know, it's hair, nails, makeup, wardrobe. And I come from a very, you know, beautiful family, not to, you know, two to four.

But, you know, growing up, all of like my aunts and my mom, especially my grandmother had huge vanities of product, you know, makeup, nails.
