You Beauty

Today, we’re sitting down with Maggie Zhou. She's a writer, podcast host, influencer and MC - and today she's telling us all about her favourite beauty products.

Maggie's Instagram bio pretty much sums her up "wears slow fashion, talks very fast." She's a passionate advocate for recycled fashion, sustainability and importantly - the side of the beauty industry no one's talking about enough - mental health.

Today - a candid chat with Maggie about skin positivity vs. skin neutrality, and learning to accept your appearance.
