One of my favorite sort of guilty pleasures, I go on the skincare subreddit.

Oh, yeah.

Just to see what people are talking about.

And it's funny because I'm actually kind of like nodding proudly at people when they like use scientifically sound advice there.

I'm Christine Cyr Clissette.

I'm Kyra Blackwell.

I'm Rosie Garant. And you're listening to The Wirecutter Show.

This episode is called Simple and Affordable Skin Care.

Hi, guys.

Hey there.

Hi.

I'm so excited about our topic today because it's all about skin care, which is kind of a new subject area for wire cutter, right?

Yeah.

We have never had much on the site around this, and now we have a complete new section.

So cool.

It's great.

I mean, personally, I've been a skincare minimalist, but if you go on social media...

There's always something. There's always something. You're constantly marketed. This is the best face cream. This is the best vitamin C. This is the thing that's going to change your life and give you a chemical facelift or whatever.

It's not even just Instagram. It's like magazines. You never really

know who to trust. It feels like everyone is getting paid under the table to promote different

products. And I never feel like I can quite trust what I'm reading. Yeah, somebody who is like a

minimalist in skincare like you, Rosie, I think that our coverage is exactly what you need.
