As the daughter of the legendary Dr. ZAIN Obagi, she opens up about the pioneering work that redefined the skin care industry, shifting the focus from merely treating conditions to proactively preventing them.

The episode explores how Dr. Obagi pushed boundaries to create treatments that serve all skin types, challenging long-standing norms and addressing communities that were previously underserved.

But this isn’t just about professional success. NP and injection artist, Serene Obagi pulls back the curtain on the hidden side of the beauty industry, candidly discussing insecurities, resilience, and the lessons learned from embracing “the beauty in the ugly.” Packed with inspiration, inside dirt and actionable takeaways, this episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about breaking barriers, finding confidence, and building a beauty empire one generation at a time.
