Beauty Editor's Drugstore Secrets: Why L'Oréal Paris and La Roche-Posay Are More Similar Than You Think
Remember Amy Clark from the early You Beauty days? The OG Ubies are about to squeal with delight because Mamamia's lifestyle editor is BACK! Amy's been on quite the beauty industry journey since we last saw her - from Adore Beauty to Alpha H, she's seen it all from behind the scenes. And honestly? Her skin looks even more incredible than it did 6 years ago. This week on The Formula, I'm catching up with Amy about her surprisingly minimal skincare routine (spoiler: she barely cleanses in the morning!), the juicy industry secrets she's picked up, and why that expensive serum might actually be the same formula as your drugstore favourite. Plus, Amy dishes on her most memorable celebrity interviews - including Trinny Woodall's iconic office visit complete with cigarettes and an instant bra size assessment - and shares her life-changing advice for anyone who's ever stood in the shower wondering "should I wash my hair today?"
