Breaking Beauty Podcast

Our speed round format returns as we count down the #DamnGood items we’re lusting for this holiday szn, from the luxury finds we really have to be on Santa’s “nice” list to receive, to the money-saving Sephora kits you may still be able to snap up post-Black Friday. For the Bougie friend on your list, we give you our TLDR take on Gucci’s haute holiday eye palette, Hermes’ debut nail lacquer collection, Balmain’s Jenner-worthy claw clip and more. Plus, Jill reveals the one Advent Calendar that won’t make you feel guilty (savings and good-feels galore!), the brand new foundation that’s #1 on her personal wish list and Carlene reveals the surprise (green!) item that’s made her Xmas list two years running.

Today we’re welcoming Jane Wurwand, co-founder of Dermalogica, the skincare brand Jill can’t stop raving about! Recording straight from their HQ in Carson, California, we meet the legend who managed to take an indie skincare spa brand and turn it into a multi-million-dollar success story, passing the torch of self-actualization to hundreds of female entrepreneurs with their education-first approach in the process. In this do-not-miss episode, Jane gives us a sneak peek into her newly launched book, Skin In The Game: Everything You Need is Already Inside You. 

For anyone looking for a post-pandemic reset, Jane schools us on how to tap into your own purpose, sharing the lessons she’s learned through intimate, say-what?? stories. Find out how her father’s early passing ignited a fire in Jane as a 5-year-old girl growing up in Scotland, and how a trip to Japan inspired Dermalogica’s iconic Daily Microfoliant exfoliating powder – now celebrating its 20th anniversary. Plus, find out what Jane has to say about “Clean Washing,” the one thing that still needs to change in the industry, and why to her, “Beauty” is a dirty word.

*Special thanks to Dermalogica for providing travel and accommodations to Breaking Beauty for this story.

Are the kind of non-surgical treatments you get on your lunch break really any safer than they were 20 years ago? In light of Linda Evangelista’s recent Cool Sculpting lawsuit and Lilly Lashes founder Lilly Ghalichi’s under eye filler-gone-frightful, we’re putting some of the most popular treatments of the social media era under a critical lens. Joining us on the mic today is U.K.-based journalist, author and self-described “tweakments” expert Alice Hart-Davis.

Summer of Gold tells the story of the 1996 Olympic Games through the lens of the women Olympians who dominated that summer. From the “Magnificent Seven" gymnasts to the USA women’s basketball, soccer and softball teams all winning gold (and becoming cultural phenomena), to the founding of the WNBA, 1996 altered the course of history for American sports generally and women athletes in particular. In celebration of the 25th anniversary, Summer of Gold provides an unrivaled perspective on one of the most important moments in American sports and cultural history. Hosted by Michelle Kwan.
