Why Are 10 Year Olds Engaging in Ten Step Skincare Routines? How The Cult Of Beauty Affects Us All

Have tweens always been this interested in beauty products? And how is ageism affected by classism?

In this extra special episode of the podcast, Ione and Gina are joined by writer, editor and brand strategist Funmi Fetto to discuss Wellcome Collection’s exhibition The Cult of Beauty.
