It’s Valentine’s Day, and while we don’t usually shape our work around holidays, this one felt different because we’re not just co-founders of Young Goose, we’re life partners. For us, care has always shown up in daily choices and consistency, the same philosophy behind how we think about skin longevity.

In this special episode, we flip the format and recommend ingredients to each other based on real-time skin needs. We get into methylene blue, NAD support, ectoin, retinol, and repair-focused actives through the lens of cellular energy, inflammation control, repair, and long-term resilience.

If you’re listening on Valentine’s Day, we’re honored you’re spending it with us. And if you’re tuning in any other day, we’re just as glad you’re here. Either way, this conversation is about care that lasts and the small, intentional choices that add up over time.
