In this episode of the Skincarma Pod, Carmine welcomes Carly Guerra, founder of Savoir Beauty. Carly shares her inspiring journey from corporate executive to entrepreneur. After a breast cancer diagnosis in 2022, she recognized a gap in the beauty market for products specifically designed for delicate breast area skin, leading her to create the industry’s first-ever dedicated breast serum. Their conversation delves into the true importance of selfcare, fervent community support, and the mission behind Savoir Beauty, which aims to educate women about daily breast health. Carly also discusses her commitment to giving back – and paying it forward – with a portion of sales of the Savoir Beauty Breast Serum benefitting the work of Cancer and Careers. This October, $5 of every product sold will be donated to Cancer and Careers. In wrapping up, Carly expresses her hopes for the future of beauty as she pioneers a category that addresses every woman’s unique skincare needs.
