Brooke, a former creative executive, became a formulator at 68, while Evelyn, a longtime beauty marketer, found renewed purpose after leaving a high-pressure role. Together, they launched Just Us Skincare, a brand focused on the often-overlooked needs of aging and hormonal skin. Tune in for a heartfelt conversation about resilience, reinvention, and creating community through meaningful, effective skincare.
