“I loved beauty without knowing it” - my guest Ashley Weatherford, Senior Editor at Into The Gloss Ashley has been an authority in beauty for years and I’ve followed her career since the beginning – so I was incredibly excited to have her on and learn her story: from Ohio to Northwestern to NY. Ashley wanted to be a lawyer but started a beauty blog on the side for fun, which eventually landed her a position at New York Magazine. We talk about the power of her recommendations and if she feels guilt about inspiring people to buy more. We discuss swiping Sephora samples when you love beauty but you’re on a budget, if she feels strongly about products being natural vs synthetic, what it’s like to prepare for a feature on Into the Gloss & that Top Shelf moment, what beauty treatments she thinks are overrated & of course tons of SKINCARE. Ashley has the most amazing skin (says she used to have bad skin) and we go into lots of detail on her routine and the products she loves.Links to Products/Things Mentioned:Tatcha Primer - primer of all primersCerave - for winter skincareLittle Fires Everywhere - book set in Shaker HeightsAshley’s feature on Into The GlossNARS Luminous Foundation Glossier Milky Jelly Cleanser India Lee Radiance Renewal PeelLele Sadoughi headband - so cuteValet - hair accessories she’s lovingCrystal Peel Microdermabrasion Bar Tea Tree Oil & Rose Water - natural products she lovesPaula’s Choice - a go-to effective skincareSkincareAddiction Reddit - when you really want to nerd outAveeno Radiance Sunscreen - her go to at the momentBanila Co Clean It Cleansing Balm Biologique Recherche Cleanser Biologique Recherche Cleanser VIP O2Missha Time Revolution & SKII - essences she likesTatcha Water Cream - light & moisturizing cream she lovesAshley’s AM Routine:Tatcha Vitamin C Serum (when she’s not using acid)Essence (currently from acast.com/privacy
