Skin-Sponding

Skin-Sponding

Author: Greg (Co-Founder/MD) & Lara (Head of Content/Education) February 21, 2023 Duration: 14:47

In episode 10 of the Dermastore® Podcast Lara and Greg have an informal chat about an approach to skincare routines that is less rigorous and more responsive.

We recently coined the term, 'Skin-Sponding' and it's really about knowing your skin well enough that you can be responsive to its ever-changing needs.

Equipping our bathrooms with a ready-to-respond kit beyond our core skincare staples, amazingly, has another upside: the skin likes to be surprised! Based on our experience, we believe a few out-of-routine ingredients and formulations can help take your skin to new heights.

Tune in to listen to their lighthearted (but hopefully interesting) skin conversion..

The Dermastore® Podcast is a space where the worlds of beauty, business, and science intersect. Hosted by Greg, the company's Co-Founder and Managing Director, and Lara, the Head of Content and Education, this series goes beyond surface-level tips. It’s a deep, often nerdy, dive into the realities of skin health, the art of effective formulation, and the entrepreneurial journey of building a brand in the beauty industry. Each conversation is built on a foundation of genuine expertise, blending practical skincare advice with behind-the-scenes insights on what it takes to create products that actually work. You'll hear honest discussions about ingredient efficacy, marketing myths, and the balance between creative vision and commercial strategy. Whether you're an aspiring entrepreneur, a skincare enthusiast hungry for detailed knowledge, or someone working in the fashion and arts spaces where image and substance meet, this podcast offers a unique perspective. It’s for anyone who believes that understanding the why behind a product is just as important as using it. Join Greg and Lara as they explore all things skincare, from the molecular to the macroeconomic, in a way that’s both informative and refreshingly direct.
