About this episode

For years, the Awesomes have been asking for a conversation about basic, simple skin care that doesn’t break the bank. We’re here to help! Listen to Meg and Kelly talk about what a basic, 3 step skin care routine can look like, and how to expand beyond those basic steps if you want to up your skincare routine. Plus Kelly’s back with another delicious cookie recipe, and Meg has a podcast binge that she’s been obsessing over in Awesome of the Week!
