To Botox or Not to Botox with Olenka Lyle

The Iconic Podcast | Jennifer Szpigiel Episode 360

Skincare is never just skincare. It is confidence, self-trust, and the quiet daily commitment that shifts how you move through the world.

In this deeply empowering conversation, Jen is joined by Olenka Lyle, ClaraDerma’s medical director, nurse practitioner, and aesthetic injector extraordinaire, to explore what it really means to invest in your skin, your confidence, and your long-term well-being.

This episode goes far beyond Botox and serums. It’s a conversation about self-leadership, grounded confidence, and releasing the guilt so many women carry around caring for themselves. Olenka breaks down the foundations of glowing skin, the misconceptions around injectables, the impact of the “filtered era,” and why intentional skincare is one of the most meaningful investments you can make for your self-esteem and emotional bandwidth.

Whether you’ve never used skincare beyond a cleanser or you’re already a product devotee, this episode will help you rethink how you care for yourself and why glowing confidence begins from the inside out.

Inside the episode, you will hear:

• How to build a skincare routine that actually works, starting with the basics
• The truth about medical grade products and why they outperform drugstore brands
• What injectables like Botox, filler, and biostimulators really are and how they support aging gracefully
• Why caring for your skin can elevate your confidence, creativity, and presence
• How filters, comparison, and guilt keep women from feeling fully expressed
• The importance of normalizing conversations about beauty, wellness, and aging
