The Devil Wears SPF

Episode 30: Beauty Talk with Diane & Carolyn

Diane and Carolyn are back with a little bit of EVERYTHING beauty — from products we love (and some we’re still questioning) to ridiculous beauty experiments, questionable theories, and the things we do in the name of looking fabulous. Does everything work? Absolutely not. Do we try it anyway? Obviously.

If you want laughs mixed with midlife beauty realities... THIS is your podcast.

It’s an honest, hilarious conversation about beauty, aging, experimenting, and figuring out what the hell works for us now. No rules, no permission required, and absolutely no guarantee that our next beauty experiment won’t end in disaster. But we always tell you about it anyway...

The Devil Wears SPF — Episode 28: TIGHTEN YOUR FACE (and your butt) with Dr. Sheina Bawa

In Episode 28 of The Devil Wears SPF, we’re getting into the science, strategy and sometimes downright ridiculous world of all things skin tightening, collagen stimulation, body treatments and the quest to age well without looking like someone else!

Our guest is Dr. Sheina Bawa, a physician with a deep understanding of aesthetics and the ever-evolving technologies designed to tighten, sculpt and rejuvenate skin — from the face to, yes… the butt.

Because apparently we can now have a conversation about tightening everything.

We’re talking about what actually works, what’s hype, what happens to our collagen as we age, and how to make smarter choices when there are 7 million devices, injectables and treatments promising to turn back the clock!

Because at DWS, we're not interested in pretending we’re 25.

We’re interested in looking really g’damn good for the age we actually are!
