Happy Women\u2019s Day, everyone! This week we\u2019re putting a lens on beauty standards, gaining some much needed perspective and discussing how rising pressures from celebrities, social media and real life biases are shaping our experiences.
\xa0
Joining us are two fellow beauty journalists from across the pond. Charisse Kenion is the host of BeautyMe podcast. She\u2019s also a beauty and fashion writer, editor and photographer who\u2019s interviewed everyone from Diane Von Furstenberg to Dolce & Gabbana. (Be sure to follow Charisse on TikTok for epic 90s era fashion moments!)

We\u2019re also welcoming Conde Nast Traveller Beauty Director, Anita Bhagwandas. Anita is an award-winning journalist, broadcaster and she\u2019s the beauty columnist for The Guardian. Her new book, \u201cUgly: Giving Us Back Our Beauty Standards\u201d uncovers where beauty standards started, why they've been perpetuated and she unmasks the structures that continue to support them.\xa0
