Welcome to Beyond Soap, the podcast about skincare, self-care, skin health and the never-ending quest to look and feel our absolute best as we age.

In this episode, we dive into:

Bakuchiol, the buzzy new plant-based functional analogue of retinol. How do you pronounce it? Does it actually work? Yes, according to science—plus it’s less irritating The beauty challenge: Sandy and Chantel dare one another to attempt a beauty regimen they would never otherwise try: Chantel challenges Sandy to try fiber mascara and Sandy challenges Chantel to try a skincare product that contains bakuchiol. What Sandy and Chantel want to explore in this podcast Sandy and Chan’s favourite non-beauty products that make them happy: Sandy’s is her Cuyana bag; Chan’s is her Emily Ley Simplified Planner.
