Video-conferencing can affect the way you feel about your face. In this episode, we discuss how screen time distorts your perception of your looks and share a dermatologist’s tips for making your next Zoom/FaceTime/Google Hangout more positive. There’s also lots of beauty news to get into: a new deodorant for people with visual impairment and motor disabilities; the Urban Decay X Prince makeup collection; Vita Coco’s hair-care range; and more. Plus, in Jenn's Science Corner, we’re going deep on new research that investigates why (and how) some women are embracing their gray hair despite the stigma against it.
Below you’ll find a list of some of the people, topics, and products mentioned in this episode. If you have any questions (or just want to say hi), reach out to us on Instagram or via email (info@fatmascara.com). And please email us voice memos of your beauty questions and Raise A Wand favorites so we can share them on the show.
