Say hello to our guest editor, Brooke DeVard! Brooke is the wonderful host of the iHeart Radio award-winning podcast, Naked Beauty. For her sophomore visit, we’re discussing the best – and worst – beauty innovations ever to hit our vanities.

An Instagram alum, Brooke chats with us about the profound impact that social media has had on the industry, the beauty of artificial intelligence (including an avatar she created for herself!) and as a new perfume entrepreneur, how biotechnology is bringing back extinct scents from flora history. (RIP perfume fields of Grasse?)

Plus, you’ll hear about:

High tech beauty devices – Why so many promising innovations have ended up in landfills, and is Clarisonic back from the grave?
Botox – A cure-all for everything from wrinkles to migraines, “skin Botox” (aka “skintox”) is the latest Korean treatment said to achieve glass skin
Bond builders – Brands like K18 and Epres saved Carlene’s bleached hair, will a new bond-building nail strengthener promise save her brittle, peeling nails?
Robot massages – The golden touch or a step too far?
Laser hair removal – Goddess’ greatest gift, we get the scoop on the at-home IPL device that Jill is using to save $$$ and earn 18 months of hairfree bliss. In partnership with Braun
