Meet your skincare fairy godmother, Charlotte Palermino, aka @charlotteparler, the co-founder of Dieux Skin—and our final guest co-host before Jess is back! We talk about whether “skin purging” is really a thing, the best ways to treat eye bags and crow’s feet, our favorite antioxidant serums and sunscreens, and more. Plus, we discuss the news: how the beauty community is responding to the rise of anti-Asian violence in the United States; Glow Recipe banning the terms “poreless” and “flawless” in marketing; and new research showing how “pretty privilege” affects the way sexual harassment victims are treated.
Below you’ll find a list of some of the people, topics, and products mentioned in this episode. If you have any questions (or just want to say hi), reach out to us on Instagram, Twitter, or via email (info@fatmascara.com). And please email us voice memos of your beauty questions and Raise A Wand favorites so we can share them on the show. You can also leave us a voicemail to be featured on a future podcast (our phone number in the U.S. is at 646-481-8182).
