If you have been living under a rock, then you may need a bit of introduction to the idea of beauty podcasts. Which we are happy to share here since there are truly so many benefits to subscribing to podcasts as a form of edu-tainment. Edu-what?

Edutainment is a blend of the words education and entertainment. So these days, the media trend is towards not just entertaining, but also educating the audience. Podcast media is one of the best to get edutained! How do you choose the best beauty podcast for your needs?

Why should I listen to a beauty podcast?

Similarly to choosing your favourite beauty magazine, which if you grew up in the 90s or earlier, was the only way you accessed the top beauty trends around the world. With the proliferation of the internet in the last decade, information dissemination is a lot more equitable. The speed and quantity which content is generated then becomes the key factor in determining the value of the media outlet. Besides fresh content, we also appreciate quality over quantity. So we guarantee that these beauty podcasts produced in collaboration with the TWL Publishing arm meet these criteria!

Beauty Podcast to listen to get smart & philosophical

 #1 Dermatologist Talks: Science of Beauty 

A beauty podcast for the intellectual beauty in you. You may have heard of the term intelligent beauty being used to market aesthetic procedures and cosmetic dermatology. However, there is an alternative interpretation, according to Dr. TWL, the host of Dermatologist Talks: Science of Beauty. Intelligent beauty referring to how your brain can literally be the best tool to transform your into the beauty you were meant to be. A podcast about neuroaesthetics, the science of how the brain perceives beauty, especially on the topic of art influencing our aesthetic experiences. The role of memory, imagination and even play, in the realm of aesthetics.  

Why you will love this beauty podcast

This podcast is truly one of its kind- tackling the topic of the science of beauty from a novel angle, inspiring all of us with its health-centric perspectives as opposed to voices that merely echo consumerist sentiments. It also earns a spot as a favorite on Spotify’s featured beauty podcasts, another reason to follow this!

Enter the Surreal Garden of Dreams with Dr.TWL in this podcast dedicated to the art of beauty sleep. A companion audio guide to the adult bedtime coloring book Secret Garden of Dreams. Experience surreal beauty & flowers in your dreams for a night of beauty sleep. 

Why the only podcast on beauty sleep is the beauty podcast you must follow

Pretty self explanatory, no?  In any case this novel approach to beauty is a followup to Dr Teo’s research in the brain skin connection and its relevance to beauty. Exploring the realm of the imagination via dreams is a reflex adopted by the hippocampus, to consolidate memories and to keep our minds healthy. Research also shows that a well rested individual is likely to be perceived as more attractive to others, besides what we already know about our skin cells regenerating while we sleep.
