What is the #1 skincare issue that moms face? You guessed it. Dark under eye circles. We get little to no sleep when we’re taking care of our littles, and unfortunately, it shows up all over our face.

Have you seen the glam golden under eye mask patches that have gone viral on Instagram? Well, they’re by a brand called Wander Beauty, co-founded by serial entrepreneur Divya Gugnani and model Lindsay Ellingson.

Today, I am excited to be chatting with Divya Gugnani. She is a renaissance woman and has seen success in almost every industry. She brings 20 years of investment and entrepreneurial experience to her role as CEO and Co-Founder of Wander Beauty, which is a company focused on multitasking beauty essentials created with global inspiration.

Prior to that, Divya co-founded Send the Trend, an e-commerce site focused on personalized fashion and beauty, and sold it to QVC, where she focused on digital innovation. She has co-founded multiple companies after starting her career in I-banking and private equity.
