Holistic Skin Care

Summary:

In this episode, we welcome the remarkable Dr Fernanda da Silva Tatley—a woman who truly embodies the integration of science, soul, and sustainability. With a PhD in Medical Molecular Microbiology, a Master of Entrepreneurship, and a deep spiritual practice as a Reiki Master and energy healer, Fernanda brings an inspiring perspective to skincare and wellness.

Originally from Lisbon, Portugal, her journey has taken her across the globe, from Cape Town to Dunedin, New Zealand, and into the world of natural skincare through the creation of Azurlis™, a botanical skincare brand rooted in simplicity, ethics, and care.

In our conversation, Fernanda takes us far beyond the typical beauty conversation. We explore:

• The true science of skincare—what your skin actually needs, and how to separate fact from hype.
• The difference between natural and mainstream skincare, and why botanical ingredients can be powerful allies.
• Her holistic approach that connects skin health with lifestyle, nutrition, gut balance, stress, and emotional wellbeing.
• Ingredient transparency – Learn how to read labels and understand which ingredients support your skin, and which ones to avoid.
• Practical, everyday habits that make a visible difference in how your skin looks and feels.
• A brilliant explanation of retinol vs. bakuchiol—what works, for whom, and why.
• The truth about sun protection, ageing, and more…

Fernanda’s passion is infectious, her knowledge is rooted in years of research and practice, and her message is one of empowerment through simplicity. This episode will leave you inspired to rethink your skincare routine—and perhaps your entire selfcare approach.

Tune in, take notes, and let’s redefine beauty—from the inside out.
