On their latest mini-episode, Kate and Doree debate the merits of beauty subscription boxes — are they fun surprises to get in the mail, or do they just leave you with lots of clutter? They also give advice to a 23-year-old who's wondering whether she should add a retinol to her skincare routine, and Doree discusses her experience with laser hair removal (she is unequivocally pro).  Also, this is the essay that Doree mentioned on this episode.

On this week's mini, Doree and Kate kick things off with a question from a 19-year-old listener, who asks if the urge to crawl out of your own skin goes away with age. Plus they discuss they best way to keep your feet soft and smooth in winter, and get a product recc from a listener in Belgium.  

It’s the first Forever35 mini-episode! On these weekly half-hour eps, Kate and Doree will be responding to listener questions and doing short product reviews. This week, they talk about their workout habits, and give advice to a woman who wants to develop a very simple skincare routine.
