Badass Youtube Darling Emma Chamberlain on the Trials and Tribulations of Accutane and Internet Fame
Emma Chamberlain is an entrepreneur, which is more than a lot of us could say when we were 19, amirite? She's also a global sensation with over 12M Instagram followers, 9M+ Youtube subscribers and over 1B views on the platform. Everyone wants a piece of Emma and she's happy to oblige — she's a content creator, podcaster, coffee company owner and now Creative Director and Global Brand Ambassador for Bad Habit, a new line of skincare staples priced between $18-$28. We fell in love with her during a press day for the brand so we had to have her on the pod! She details what products she can't live without, what it's been like looking back at herself on Youtube, how she balanced a rigorous Accutane prescription in an effort to get rid of her acne and what she learned about skincare along the way.Glossangelespod.comFacebook: Gloss Angeles (Join our group: Gloss Angeles Glamgelenos)Instagram: @glossangelespod, @kirbiejohnson, @saratanTwitter: @glossangelespod, @kirbiejohnson, @saratanEmail: glossangelespodcast@gmail.comWatch our episodes!Shop our episodesInstagram: @glossangelspod | TikTok: @glossangelespodEmail: glossangelespodcast@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.
