Are you overwhelmed by all the skincare products out there, or even in your current lineup? Are you tempted to buy every viral product you see on TikTok? Same, so that’s why we invited Skin by Gill on the podcast to help us simplify our routines by identifying what’s really important and will work best for our unique skin types. Gill is a licensed esthetician and content creator, and helped Raeann simplify her routine with products that don’t cost more than $30. So, we knew we had to invite her on the podcast to share her tips and tricks!

This episode is full of really practical and helpful information about how to take care of your skin in the most effective, affordable ways. We talk about foods and lifestyle habits that influence your skin, how to use retinol, the most important steps in your skincare routine, what at-home devices are really worth the investment, how to repair a damaged skin barrier, clean beauty and so much more. Plus, Gill shares her favorite brands and products for every step of your routine. There's truly just so much amazing information in this episode so make sure to save this episode and share it with a friend!
