Description:

No filters, no fluff, and definitely no 12-step routines. Skincare has never been more confusing (or more aggressive) and in this episode, your favorite celebrity’s favorite esthetician, Shani Darden, is giving her unfiltered take on what actually works for good skin… and what’s mostly just really good marketing.


We talk about why sun damage is still the biggest issue she sees, when lasers can be helpful and when they can actually backfire, how to use retinol correctly on both your face and your body, and what peels really work for scars and pigmentation. We also get into LED masks, overhyped beauty categories, desert-island products, and the easiest ways to make your skin look better fast.


Plus, we have some fun talking about the weirdest beauty products she’s ever tried and things we’ve both been influenced to buy on TikTok Shop. It’s super educational, super relatable, and very real; basically everything you want when you’re trying to take better care of your skin without falling for every new trend.
