💬[07:32] From Opera to Sephora
Her first beauty gig? Sephora skincare specialist. Why? Because she loved helping people feel better in their skin — and giving out a few hydrofacials didn’t hurt either.
🧖♀️[18:10] The Real Routine
Forget 10-step skincare. Sarah’s holy trinity: double cleanse, red light therapy, and peptides. Simple, effective, sustainable.
💧[26:40] Milky Toner Magic
Toners? Totally optional. But when hydrating, milky toners do work, they work like magic — especially for skin that feels tight or flaky.
🚩[35:15] Skincare Red Flags
If an influencer leans on fear, shame, or sketchy credentials? Run.
⏲️[44:58] Consistency Over Hype
Her biggest “aha” moment: watching her 60+ dad’s skin transform from just sticking to a routine.
💉[55:20] PRFM for the Win
Not ready for fillers? Sarah’s wedding-prep treatment — PRFM — gave her refreshed under-eyes and softened smile lines.
👰♀️ [01:02:15] Bridal Skincare Wisdom
The week before your wedding is not the time for aggressive treatments. Gentle facials and hydrofacials will keep you glowing without the drama.
🪞 [01:10:30] Rapid-Fire Beauty Faves
Her top picks? Hydrating toner backups, blush drops, and a seriously underrated skincare ingredient that deserves more love.
✨TL;DR
Sarah proves you don’t need a 12-step routine, a derm degree, or a fear-based marketing plan to have glowing skin and a loyal following. Build your routine around your lifestyle, skip what’s not essential, and please — put your fancy serums on your hands.

✨ Top Takeaways
Trends aren’t inherently bad—just make sure they’re safe and make sense for your skin.
A minimalist routine beats a dangerous hack every time.
Sunscreen is still the most important product in your lineup (no matter what TikTok says).
When in doubt, ask a derm—not the algorithm.
