    [upbeat music] This is Well, a podcast about wellness in all its forms. I'm Arielle Lori, and each week, I'm sharing unfiltered conversations with the people shaping how we feel, live, and look. Come for the substance, stay for the honesty, and leave with the tools to be well inside and out. I had so much fun talking to my guest today, and I was so honored that she literally got off a long-haul flight and [laughs] came straight to the podcast. I could never do that. And I have to say, she looked incredible. Skin was skinning, and she looked totally chic. You can check it out on YouTube. She is somebody who has spent more than four decades helping some of the most photographed women in the world get their skin looking their absolute best. So I'm talking to Mimi Luzon. She is a globally renowned facialist and skincare expert whose clients have included everybody from Victoria's Secret models and Hollywood celebrities to royalty and industry insiders. She is one of those if-you-know-you-know people. And what I loved about this conversation is that while Mimi has access to every treatment imaginable, she really comes back again and again to the fundamentals. So we talked about the most underrated habits for great skin, how to actually protect and repair your skin barrier, the signs that your barrier may already be compromised, how often you need to exfoliate. We did some debunking.
