In this episode of Girl Talk with Tay, Taylor Love sits down with beauty writer and editor Lisa DeSantis for a thoughtful conversation about the intersection of beauty, wellness, and learning to trust your own routine in a world full of trends. Plus what she thinks is actually beneficial as a beauty editor verses what isn’t needed!

Lisa shares how she got her start at QVC before diving headfirst into the world of magazines, eventually writing for top publications like Glamour, Byrdie, Women’s Health, Cosmopolitan, and Marie Claire. We talk about what she’s learned covering the industry from New York to Nashville, how to spot real beauty trends versus marketing fluff, the shift toward natural, low-maintenance tweakments, ingredients she actually believes in like niacinamide and vitamin C, and the wellness habits that feel grounding instead of overwhelming. From K-beauty innovations to journaling rituals and finding balance in your routine, this episode is a refreshing take on beauty that goes deeper than the surface.

xo, Tay
