272: What the Beauty Industry Doesn’t Want You to Know: The Truth About Skincare, Celebrities, & Botox
Josie sits down with the hosts of The Glow Job Podcast, Julia & Sasa, to pull back the curtain on the business, psychology, and economics behind the beauty industry. They dive into the surprising truths about the products we use every day: how pricing really works, why buzzwords like “clinically proven” and “dermatologist tested” might not mean what you think, and how influencer marketing and luxury packaging shape what ends up in our routines. But this conversation goes deeper than skincare. They also explore the cultural and economic power of beauty—from the “pink tax” to the way appearance impacts women’s careers—and why beauty deserves to be taken just as seriously as industries like sports, tech, or finance.
This episode will completely change how you think about the beauty aisle and the products sitting on your bathroom counter.
