You’ve heard the words “skincare routine” used and abused by influencers, but we promise this episode is different.  Alyssa, owner and aesthetician at Lash and Beauty Bar, and her bestie Ariel talk about paring down your routine to keep it simple enough to stick to, while still being effective. They also discuss the absolute MIRACLE that is Martha Stewart’s face at 81, and what her routine probably does/ doesn’t include to keep her looking so flawless.
