Clean Beauty School

“Wellness practices can feel overwhelming. One thing I’ve learned is that I don’t need an endless long list of things to actually make me feel good,” says celebrity fitness instructor Megan Roup, founder The Sculpt Society. “It’s very simple: Romanticizing my life a bit more. Savoring that cup of coffee in the morning. Getting up a bit earlier. Taking 5 minutes for meditation or a walk outside. Just tapping into that playful nature is really important.” In this episode of Clean Beauty School, mindbodygreen beauty director and host Alexandra Engler chats with Roup about diet culture, creating a sustainable wellness routine, and her best beauty tips. Show notes:-Follow Megan Roup & The Sculpt Society-Learn more about The Sculpt Society-Read more about topics mentioned in this episode: recovery, cardio, strength training, intuitive eating-Shop products mentioned in this episode: Theragun, Youth To The People serums, Caudalie face creams, Estée Lauder Revitalizing Supreme+ Youth Power Creme, Kora Organics Plant Stem Cell Retinol Alternative Serum, Supergoop Glowscreen SPF 40, Summer Fridays ShadeDrops Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Mineral Milk Sunscreen, EltaMD UV Clear Tinted Broad-Spectrum SPF 46, It Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC+ Cream SPF 50+, ILIA Super Serum Skin Tint, ILIA Multi-Stick Cream Blush + Highlighter + Lip Tint, MERIT The Minimalist Perfecting Complexion Foundation and Concealer Stick, MERIT Flush Balm Cream Blush, Beauty Pie Superluminous™ Under-eye Genius, Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm, Prose Custom Shampoo and Custom Conditioner, Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray, Dyson Airstraight Straightener, TRESemme hair sprayTake 20% off glow from the inside out bundle+ with code BEAUTYPOD.
