Beyond The Bathroom
Sali Hughes
Join Sali Hughes each week for a conversation with a special guest about their own appearance.
In this podcast, Sali attempts to get under the skin of her guest's beauty routines and rituals, and hope to find out exactly what they see when they look in the mirror.
How has the past affected the way they see themselves now? When did they look and feel their best? And how has their relationship with face and body shifted as time has ebbed and flowed?
