Whether you're in your 20s, 30s, 40s and beyond, we break down the must-haves to keep your skin healthy and glowing. From simple tweaks to transformative additions, this conversation is packed with expert advice.

We also dive into the most overrated and underrated skincare ingredients, sharing what truly works versus what’s all hype—including what we really think about retinol. Tackling melasma? We also discuss the most effective treatment options, including topical solutions and professional interventions. For those curious about skincare tools, Shani shares her professional insight on the devices aestheticians swear by, highlighting which ones are worth your investment—and which to avoid.
