I Sold $100 Skincare for 10 Years. Now I Use Dollar Tree.

from How It's Really Going at 50 with Shana Recker · host Shana Recker

I spent over ten years selling high-end skincare. I stood at parties telling people the drugstore stuff couldn't compare and I believed every word of it. I don't believe it anymore. In this episode I get into what actually changed my skin back when I thought it was the $100 products doing the work, and the thing I've realized since that I wish someone had told me twenty years ago. I also share what I'm using now, all of it drugstore, none of it over $20 (maybe one or two) plus what happened when I finally walked into a Dollar Tree after years of snubbing those skincare products. Including the $1.75 eye masks that shook me. If you've ever wondered whether drug store brands are worth it, this is for you baby.
