Episode Recap

This week we’re reuniting with Siff Haider - Arrae co-founder and fellow Dear Media podfam -  for a #DamnGood deep dive into the ultimate beauty sleep routine! What’s the perfect room temperature? How about the best calming skincare before bed? The pajamas that are *actually* comfortable and the robe that will make you feel like you’re staying at a 5-star hotel? All will be revealed!

And in true podswap fashion, don’t miss your Breaking Beauty hosts over on Siff’s podcast, Dream Bigger, this week discussing 2026 beauty trends, where we stand on kids using skincare and much more.  Pssst - Subscribe to our YouTube Channel to watch this episode and our back catalog! 

In this week’s episode you’ll hear about:

• Sleep hygiene: How warm is too hot? How cool is too cold? We debate the perfect temperature for optimal sleeping and the mattress to choose if you lean one way or the other.

• From an $18 K-beauty cleansing balm innovation to a splurge-y bath soak, we share our sleepy-time skincare musts.

• Wind-down routine: The nighttime ritual Siff swears by to drift off to La-la-land without a worry.

• To track or not to track? Siff’s review of the Oura ring and whether it’s worth the investment for sleep tracking.

• How Carlene’s C-Pap machine, HRT prescription and anti-depressants have impacted nighttime wake-ups and her energy by day. 

• Magnesium vs. melatonin: Siff explains which sleep-inducing hero ingredient is featured in Arrae formulas – and the reason the other ingredient has lost favour.
