Taking a break from your screen is important for your eyesight, your skin, and your mental health. But how exactly do you get through your morning commute without distracting yourself via inspiring photos on Instagram? Well, you could welcome the excuse for a moment of quiet reflection, you could catch up on some reading, or, best yet, you could listen to podcasts, which are basically a combination of books on tape, someone reading you the news, and insight into intimate chats between BFFs (like Oprah and Gayle).
Now that you’re sold on podcasts, here’s the best news: There’s a whole corner of the audio world dedicated to beauty and wellness. Check out the stellar picks below, which might just make binge-listening a thing.
Ready to listen to people who are just as obsessed with serums and skin care and (and sex) as you are? Check these out.
