In the latest episode of "Beauty Filter," hosts Alexis and Sassy enthusiastically dive back into the podcasting world after a brief hiatus. The episode kicks off with a warm greeting, acknowledging listeners tuning in at different times of the day. The focus quickly shifts to a topic close to their hearts—skincare. Both hosts share updates about their skincare routines, revealing that despite recent world events, their commitment to maintaining their skin health has remained steadfast.
Alexis introduces her new skincare regimen, which she had to adopt after her skin reacted poorly, likening her skin's distress to the emotions in a Drake song. This segues into a broader discussion on the foundational aspects of skincare, especially for newcomers to the podcast or those unfamiliar with medical-grade skincare. Sassy and Alexis reminisce about their first bonding moments over skincare products at the med spa where they work, which they claim is the best in the world.
The conversation takes a turn towards minimalism and maximalism in skincare, with both hosts identifying as maximalists who are trying to curb their tendencies towards accumulating products. They touch upon their respective New Year's resolutions—Sassy's goal to do an unassisted pull-up and Alexis's commitment to using up products before buying new ones, though both admit varying levels of success.
A significant portion of the discussion is dedicated to debunking myths surrounding medical-grade skincare. Alexis and Sassy tackle the misconception that such products are always more expensive, using examples to explain that effective skincare is accessible and can be more cost-effective than high-end luxury brands. They encourage listeners to look beyond price tags and focus on the benefits and results of the products.
Throughout the episode, the tone is light and filled with laughter, yet informative and rich with expert advice. The hosts' chemistry is palpable, making for an engaging and educational listen. They conclude by urging their audience to review their own skincare routines and consider integrating medical-grade products to achieve the best results. The episode serves as a reminder of the power of good skincare and the importance of taking care of oneself amidst the chaos of everyday life.
