Listen in as these two powerhouse thought leaders share their secrets to creating aspirational, ageless and sustainable brands, dealing with dupe culture and finding balance as busy moms and super-entrepreneurs in the process.

A special thanks to Jenny Bird who hosted us at the brand’s first-ever retail location, The Shop in New York at 21 Spring Street. The Shop is open until December 22, 2024 so there’s still time to come and check it out in person, and of course you can always shop online at jenny-bird.com. And thank you to our audience who turned up in person – it was the best holiday gift ever meeting all of you!

• The story behind Indeed Labs’ very first product, a pioneering blurring cream created 15 years ago, that’s still going viral with beauty influencers today
• Dimitra’s candid take on the company’s early split from controversial figure Brandon Truaxe, on the cusp of an upcoming documentary on his life
• Details on the founder’s sophomore skincare brand, pH-in, and why its approach to acne care is unmatched – and free of harsh actives like benzoyl peroxide

What if we don’t age in a linear pattern, and instead, experience pronounced “bursts” at ages 44 and 60? The latest study out Stanford Medicine published in the scientific journal, Nature, has given the skincare community a lot to mull over. Today, we’re welcoming double-board certified dermatologist, cosmetic surgeon and host of the Derm Approved podcast, Dr. Sheila Farhang, to help us break it all down.

You’ll hear about:

• “Prejuvenation” secrets: The treatments to invest in before your next spike, and what she’s *personally* stopped doing this year (buh-bye masseter Botox!)
• Where to click to find your best dermatologist provider, for cosmetic or medical purposes, without any spon-con
• Is there a “secret” menu at your dermatologist’s office that we should know about?? The cocktailing injection fads that are and aren’t worth trying, according to the derm
• Dr. Sheila’s response to filler fatigue, “perception drift” and where some injectors have gone way overboard
• Getting filler dissolved? Listen to what Dr. Sheila has to say first 
• The surprising ingredient that she predicts will be big in 2025, beyond its gimmicky reputation
• The peer-reviewed injectors seal of approval list we mention is Castle Connolly and esthetic concierge services like Persana

Pssst! We were guests over on Dr. Sheila’s podcast, Derm Approved, discussing how to manage tough-to-treat areas like eye bags and jowls. Tune in here to listen!

Today’s uninterrupted, bonus episode is in partnership with our friends at Allies of Skin. Meet Nicolas Travis, the biochemist and pharmaceutical scientist-turned-skincare entrepreneur who founded Allies of Skin after a sudden accident resulted in devastating facial injuries and years of inner trauma. 

Listen in as Nicolas spills the secrets behind the viral, feel-good brand that’s earned more than 30 internationally-recognized beauty awards, along with a loyal community that includes Hailey Bieber, January Jones and Kaia Gerber. *Please note that the topics of abuse, trauma and suicide are discussed.  

You’ll find out:
