Ep 172 “Take It To The Tits!” & More Healthy Aging Skin Commandments With Caroline Hirons

Hands up if you want youthful skin for as long as you can?! (Everybody, we know.) Notorious for her No-B.S. skincare advice, Caroline Hirons is here to spill the tea. The long-time YouTuber and blogger has trained in more than 100 beauty brands, creating bespoke facials and educating teams internationally for top-tier beauty companies around the world. Caroline has also written a best-selling book, “Skincare: The Ultimate No-Nonsense Guide” and most recently, Caroline founded “Beauty Backed,” a U.K.-based organization helping salons and spas get back on their feet after the pandemic.

Today, Caroline is sharing her top age-well skin tips, including the advice she wishes she told her younger self. Plus, the skin guru debunks some of the biggest myths going in the beauty industry when it comes to blue light and your skin, neck creams, whether luxury skincare is actually worth the big bucks, the best drugstore buys, the Gwyneth-Gate sunscreen scandal and egads! She even (politely) sounds off on the 60-second cleansing rule. Plus, stay tuned to find out why Caroline Hirons is leaving the YouTube game and - plot twist!- could she be starting her own podcast??? Well, if it’s good enough for the Royal Couple…

We’ve officially joined #GirlBoss Nation. It’s what happens when you sit down with Girl Boss founder Sophia Amoruso, the poster woman for females killing it at work and in life. First there was the fashion label she started, Nasty Gal, then there was that Netflix show, and of course Girl Boss, her best-selling book and Girl Boss Radio. And don’t even get us started on her killer Instagram style! Which is why we had to sit down with the queen of entrepreneurs when she dropped into town with Shoppers Drug Mart’s Beauty Boutique event, Be Bold With Beauty.

Stay tuned for the full #glowdown on all the makeup currently on the fashion influencer’s #topshelf; why she ditched her hair extensions, and what his-and-her tattoos Sophia recently had inked with her boyfriend. Plus, we get the backstory on which of her famously fearless Instagram posts (The Shiggy Challenge, that Ivanka Trump manifesto…) are currently going viral.
