Cosmechix

2020 was a big year for us. Although we started the year as complete dummies, we worked to navigate our way through the beauty ,and in particular, cosmetic industry (despite spending half the year in lock down).

During this time we trialed, and learned about a number of procedures! So in this episode we discuss our favourite, and least favourite treatments whilst summarising some of the key takeaways we learned when interviewing the experts.

Thank you to everyone for your support! We love that you guys are so eager to learn with us and always ask such interesting questions - so keep it up! We can't wait to see what 2021 has in store.

Love Cosmechix xxxx

This week we talk with experienced dermal therapist Karen Sher about the ultimate facial to get you through the festive season - sugar, zits and all - the DermaClear.

This facial exfoliates, cleanses and hydrates using patented vortex technology to extract the impurities from your skin whilst simultaneously infusing the skin with active ingredients..... sounds good right!?!?

Well we loved it so much we had to dedicate an episode to it..

And for your Sydney Siders - if you book in with Karen Sher at Beauty & Laser by Karen and mention Cosmechix when you book.. you'll get $50 off your first DermClear treatment.

This week's episode we delve into the patient perspective whilst interviewing Sophie Mclelland.

Sophie was called monkey ears once in primary school and ever since has felt self conscious about her ears until this last month... when she underwent a non-surgical otoplasty or more commonly known as having your ears 'pinned back'.

This episode talks through why Sophie wanted this procedure, what the procedure entails and also what recovery is like.

We've heard it all before... you are what you eat!

But this has never been more true.

Your skin is often considered a mirror of what is going on in your gut internally and can be a huge contributor to acne or the texture/tone of your skin.

Today we talk all things GUT with co-founders Cate Lilja and Karissa Mather about their Complete Skin Food Elixir- Optima nutricosmetics.

Cate and Karissa used their industry knowledge in developing nutraceutical products, in conjunction with extensive customer research to produce the ultimate gut elixr which leaves you glowing from the inside out.

Optima has also been clinically trialed, and is proven to enhance your gut health, microbiome, skin's collagen production, and overall nutrition and wellness. It also helps to protect against free radical damage which we are increasingly subjected to, in our overpopulated cities.

Oh, and did we mention their sustainability practices?! - From being a signatory to the Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation (APCO) to their ethically sourced ingredients, every aspect of their business ensures the highest standards of sustainability.

In this week's episode we talk with longtime friend and yogi bear Rachael Roberts. Rach is a 23 year old social worker who recently completed over 500 hours of yoga teaching in the Himilayan Foothills!

This episode is different to our normal episodes... Rach shares her journey of self discovery through yoga and other practices. Where usually we focus on cosmetic enhancements which alter your exterior, this week we take a different angle. We discuss the importance of practicing self love, and hear about some practical ways to stay grounded and find happiness and confidence from within.

In a world where we are constantly scrolling social media and comparing ourselves to others, Rach talks about the importance of disconnecting from technology and improving body image from within. We think this is a very important aspect of a woman/man feeling their best, and i'm sure is an episode which will resonate with everyone!
