Whether you’re searching for the latest insider-fave foundation, building a gimmick-free skincare routine, or interested in exploring culture through a beauty lens, tune in every Wednesday for epic guests like Makeup By Mario, Dr. Pimple Popper and Jonathan Van Ness (say what?!) Plus, don’t miss our monthly #DamnGood reviews of trending drugstore and spendy finds that are worth the $$$ – you’re glowing already!
*Recorded in advance of the Los Angeles Wildfires, we’re welcoming actress, singer, mother and entrepreneur Ashley Tisdale. The triple threat has been working in entertainment since she was just three years old, notably as “Sharpay Evans” in High School Musical and as “Maddie Fitzpatrick” in Disney Channel’s The Suite Life of Zack and Cody.
As the nostalgia Queen expands her accessible, clean, lifestyle brand – Being Frenshe – into haircare, we get the scoop on the difference-making self-care practices that Ashley abides by as part of her daily routine, the tools that help to best manage her anxiety and what creative projects Ashley is planning next.
