Who is Dr. Vicki Rapaport, and why does her work in dermatology matter?

In this special episode of the Facially Conscious Podcast, we step out from behind the microphones to share the story behind the show—and the journey that led Dr. Vicki Rapaport into dermatology, skin health, and thoughtful aesthetic care. From her medical training to her philosophy around beauty, wellness, and patient education, this episode offers context for the voice guiding many of our conversations.

We also address a common and important question in aesthetic skincare:
Is it better to get procedures and lasers at a dermatologist’s office or a medical spa—and does it really matter?

You’ll learn the key differences between dermatology practices and med spas, how training and oversight impact treatments, and what to consider when choosing where to go for cosmetic procedures, lasers, and advanced skincare services.

This episode is designed for listeners who want clarity—not hype—around aesthetic treatments, credentials, and skin health decisions, and for anyone who wants to better understand the expertise behind the Facially Conscious approach.

Meet Julie Falls, the Educated Consumer and co-host of the Facially Conscious Podcast—a voice for anyone who wants to understand skincare without hype, fear, or confusion.

In this episode, Julie shares her personal journey from growing up in sun-soaked Miami in the 1960s and 70s—long before daily sunscreen was common—to facing sun damage and pre-cancerous skin changes in adulthood. When she learned that some sun damage could be improved with the right care, Julie began a decades-long deep dive into the science of skincare, skin health, and informed decision-making.

We explore how to become a more educated skincare consumer: how to research products, evaluate treatments, work with trusted estheticians and dermatologists, and recognize skincare scams and misleading claims. Julie explains her thoughtful, methodical approach to building a routine that’s effective, realistic, and grounded in evidence—not trends.

This episode is for anyone overwhelmed by skincare advice who wants clarity, context, and a smarter way to care for their skin over time.

What does it really take to build strong, lasting client relationships in esthetics?

In this episode of the Facially Conscious Podcast, Rebecca and Trina are joined by renowned esthetics educator Douglas Preston for part one of a two-part conversation on the psychology behind successful esthetic practice.

Douglas shares decades of experience teaching estheticians how to evaluate skin thoughtfully, listen more effectively, ask better questions, and build trust with clients over time. This episode focuses on the often-overlooked skills that matter just as much as technique—client communication, observation, and professional presence.

Rather than chasing trends or quick fixes, this conversation centers on foundational esthetics principles, ethical client care, and how to create meaningful, long-term relationships that support both skin health and career longevity.

Whether you’re a practicing esthetician, a skincare professional in training, or someone curious about how great practitioners think, this episode offers clear guidance rooted in experience—not hype.

Douglas Preston returns to the Facially Conscious Podcast for an honest, practical conversation about one of the most overlooked parts of skincare and spa work: client comfort and emotional trust.

In this episode, Douglas shares how estheticians and spa professionals can recognize and ease client anxiety in the treatment room, create a sense of safety, and build lasting client relationships. He explains why the true success of a treatment often isn’t just physical results—but the emotional experience a client has while in your care.

We also explore spa and resort management, team leadership, and how to recommend skincare products ethically—without pressure, scripts, or sales tactics that damage trust. Douglas offers thoughtful insight into how education, confidence, and listening can naturally lead to better client outcomes and stronger retail performance.

To close, Douglas reflects on his plans for retirement and what’s next in his professional journey, offering perspective on longevity, purpose, and evolving careers in the skincare industry.

This episode is especially valuable for estheticians, spa owners, and skincare professionals who want to improve client relationships, refine their treatment room presence, and lead with integrity.

This week on the Facially Conscious Podcast, we’re honored to welcome Dr. Suzanne Gilberg-Lenz, MD, FACOG, a board-certified OB-GYN, author, and nationally recognized voice in women’s health and education.

In this episode, we explore menopause and skin health—what actually happens to the skin during perimenopause and menopause, and why so many women feel caught off guard by these changes. Dr. Gilberg-Lenz explains how shifting hormones affect collagen, elasticity, hydration, inflammation, and overall skin resilience, and what that means for both skincare routines and long-term health.

We also discuss lifestyle changes and hormone therapy options that may support skin health during menopause, including sleep, stress, nutrition, movement, and individualized medical care. This is a grounded, science-informed conversation designed to reduce confusion and replace fear with clarity.

If you’ve noticed changes in your skin during midlife—or you’re simply looking to understand menopause beyond headlines and myths—this episode offers thoughtful guidance from a physician who believes deeply in education, empowerment, and whole-person care.
