Dear Media, Arielle Lorre
About this episode

The beauty editors behind People’s coveted 100 Best in Beauty Awards are on the podcast! Brittany Talarico and Jackie Fields take us inside the process of testing thousands of products to find the ones that truly deserve a spot on the list. From the one product they’d rescue from the burning beauty closet to the best serum for acne, drugstore vitamin C that rivals luxury, and hair masks that actually repair, we get the insider scoop on what makes the cut. They share the criteria that determine a “100 Best” product, their ride-or-die daily essentials, and the ultimate winners across skincare, body care, and hair care—including the best retinol, cleansing balm, and dry shampoo. Whether you’re a skincare enthusiast or just looking for the next product worth your money, this conversation will have your beauty wishlist overflowing.
