Ep 113 – #DamnGoods Special – Gothamista’s At-Home Skincare Routine!

In today’s special edition of the #DamnGoods, we sit down with the ultimate guest co-host, Gothamista! With a tagline like: “I Try Stuff So You Don’t Have To,” Renée Chow boasts a hyper-curated #topshelf that helps inform the purchases of her “Skin Squad” community of over 500,000 YouTube fans. (When she recommends a product, it’s guaranteed to fly off stores shelves.) In her first podcast ever, Renée is sharing her complete, at-home facial routine for sensitive, dehydrated skin that’s still prone to a spot of acne – so if you want to achieve her enviable glow (and learn how to retain “baby fat” cheeks), get those shopping carts ready!!

For more than a decade, Renée’s day job has been working in beauty, both as a buyer, and in product development, where she’s learned about scientific formulations alongside the chemists who create them. The bonafide skintellectual easily cuts through marketing mumbo jumbo, shining a spotlight on what really works. You’ll hear the exact steps in her personal skincare routine, from double-toning to her favourite budget skincare buy, to the SPF for face she’s calling the GOAT. And… we finally discover the best dupe for the pricey Skinceuticals CE Ferulic vitamin C serum Jill is always recommending. All hail, Gothamista!
