Today's guest Lyndsey Brantley is a Structural Engineer turned Medical Aesthetics Practitioner who specializes in holistic skincare therapies, chemical peels, and laser skin treatments to alleviate the symptoms of razor bumps, ingrown hairs, stretch marks, and acne. After battling with sensitive skin and ingrown hairs as a symptom of my PCOS, and seeing many of her friends and clients do the same, the idea for Camellia Alise was born. Seeking a way to naturally prevent the ingrown hairs and skin irritations she had always dealt with, and finding nothing on the market, she used her medical aesthetics knowledge to formulate natural skin care products that met her needs and the needs of those who also struggle with the same conditions. Her goal is to help them achieve radiant skin they can be proud of.

Growing up in Korea, Narae Chung saw first-hand the pride that Korean men took in their self-care. It was more than a routine—it was a way of life. After years of working in the Korean skincare industry, bringing the best ingredients and most innovative formulas to men across Asia, Narae decided to come to the U.S. to attend Wharton Business School. There, she met her roommate Jacqueline Oak, an expert in the retail startup space. Narae and Jacqueline noticed interest in men’s self-care was gaining momentum in the States—but the high-quality, yet affordable options that are so popular in Korea—were seriously lacking. The duo saw a chance to not only build a premium skincare brand that’s simple and accessible but also to change the outdated social norms around masculinity and self-care. www.cardonskin.com  https://www.instagram.com/cardon https://www.facebook.com/cardonformen/  https://twitter.com/cardon Connect with Brandi: https://linktr.ee/Btaylor https://www.instagram.com/iambranditaylor https://www.facebook.com/IamBrandiTaylor Email: info@businessbeautynetwork.com Website: businessbeautynetwork.com Gloss Genius: https://glossgenius.grsm.io/bbn Book a free Beauty Pro Discovery Call with Brandi: https://beautybusinessnetworkpodcast.as.me/dc Get Your Free Ebook- Affirmations For Beauty Pros: https://mailchi.mp/xquisitelooks/affirmation-e-book-freebie Gloss Genius: https://glossgenius.grsm.io/bbn Sponsored by: Sterling Hair Solutions  https://sterlinghairsolutions.com/

Today's guest is Sumana Jayanth. Growing up in India, Sumana flat ironed her naturally curly hair from ages 15 to 30, believing that straight hair was the standard of beauty. In her role as the marketing coordinator for a fashion label in Australia, Sumana discovered her love for designing accessories and working with silk fabrics. It was not long before the self-taught, self-starter turned her hobby into a full-fledged business. Sumana realized that her perception of beauty had been warped by long-held, childhood beliefs. Recognizing the damage straightening her hair had caused, Sumana took it upon herself to learn more about curly hair methods and started to redefine what beauty meant to her. Her experience working with luxurious silk fabrics led to the creation of Damn Gina, a trendy silk hair care accessories brand inspired by the catchphrase from the popular 90s sitcom Martin. As the founder of Damn Gina, Sumana hopes to encourage people from around the world to celebrate and embrace their beautiful curls, coils, and waves.
