Buzzwords such as non-toxic, all natural and eco-conscious have become the norm, but what exactly does clean beauty mean? Should we be steering clear of products with any chemicals in them, or is that a step too far? Sali takes the bull by the horns and is joined by skincare expert Caroline Hirons and cosmetic scientist/skincare brand founder Sam Farmer to discuss clean beauty in-depth and answer your questions on the subject in the surgery.

Red, flushed, burning and stinging skin are just some of the symptoms of rosacea and hyper sensitive skin. The skin condition is currently at an all time high, affecting women of all ages sometimes as suddenly as overnight. So what can we do understand how to live with it and what triggers it? Should rosacea sufferers really avoid make-up?
Sali is joined by two guests who share their own experiences of rosacea -  blogger and make up expert Rose Gallagher, and beauty blogger and expert in rosacea management Lex Gillies (aka @talontedlex) discuss their skincare regimes, triggers, common misconceptions, the emotional effect of the skin condition and how is has affected them both professionally.  Sali, Rose and Lex take your questions in the surgery.

Rosacea and Sensitive Skin with Rose Gallagher & Lex Gillies

Acne has previously been dismissed as something that only affects the young and the menopausal, so why has it become such a common skin concern for adults? Adult acne has been one of the most requested topics for Sali to cover on the podcast. Dermatologist and acne expert Anjali Mahto joins Sali to discuss her own experience with the skin condition, how it correlates with stress and anxiety and how to recognise when it has become an issue that you need to see a dermatologist about. 


Is wearing make-up on spots a good idea? Does eating dairy cause acne? What can you do about pigmentation and scarring? Sali and Anjali take your acne related questions in the surgery.

Adult Acne with Anjali Mahto

After experiencing physical changes during and after pregnancy, women also need to align themselves with a new identity - that of a mother. As well as dealing with breastfeeding, the tired skin of new parenthood and a lack of time to spend on themselves, there’s an immense pressure new mothers often face to be a “supermum.” Is there a secret minimal make-up routine for new parents? Should they ditch the make-up altogether? Can any product out there hide the fact that new parents face approximately 6 years worth of sleep deprivation?
Sali is joined by midwife, mother of four and parenting blogger Clemmie Hooper (aka @motherofdaughters) to talk about their experiences of new motherhood and they both take your questions in the surgery.
