We get emotional at the end of the episode, thinking about how much our listeners mean to us! But first, how do we balance the contrasting pull of wanting to look youthful while fighting ageism? That theme kept coming up as we discussed RHONY; Dr. Jenn injecting filler; the Barbie scene with the elderly woman; Manchester United’s partnership with Estée Lauder; the TikTok aging filter; Prada hiring an e-makeup artist (@ines.alpha) for its new beauty line; the bullhorn lip lift; a new growth factor serum; and a magical nail polish brand that helps at-risk cats find new homes.Products mentioned in this episode: shopmy.us/collections/221414Episode recap with links: fatmascara.com/blog/ep-499Sponsor links & discount codes: fatmascara.com/sponsorsPrivate Facebook Group: Fat Mascara Raising a WandSocial media: @fatmascara, @jessicamatlin, @jenn_editSubmit a "Raise A Wand" product recommendation and be featured on the show: email info@fatmascara.com or leave a voicemail at 646-481-8182 Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/fatmascara.

The original celebrity aesthetician has a prescription for better skin that doesn’t require Botox, filler, or lasers: Balance your pH; lean into muscle-stimulating and collagen-boosting therapies (microcurrent, LED); hydrate; and treat your hyperpigmentation.

Plus, she tells us why she helped create Kim Kardashian’s skincare line; shares the backstory of her own line, Joanna Czech Skincare; teaches us to apply products as if our skin were a sponge (“press and release!”); and explains how she went from aspiring doctor in Poland to one of New York City’s premier aestheticians. Products mentioned in this episode: shopmy.us/collections/218262Episode recap with links: fatmascara.com/blog/ep-498Sponsor links & discount codes: fatmascara.com/sponsorsPrivate Facebook Group: Fat Mascara Raising a WandSocial media: @fatmascara, @jessicamatlin, @jenn_editSubmit a "Raise A Wand" product recommendation and be featured on the show: email info@fatmascara.com or leave a voicemail at 646-481-8182 Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/fatmascara.

We tried a perfume that evokes a horseback ride through the fields and another that smells like the spice-laden cargo hold of a 17th-century galleon.
