Welcome to 2026. I am so happy to start the year with my dear colleague Claudia Barthelemy and a conversation that reflects everything I believe about healthy skin.

In this episode, we talk about what healthy skin truly means beyond trends, quick fixes, and surface-level beauty. Claudia is the founder of The Healthy Skin Room in Belgravia, London, and a facial therapist who works with the skin from the inside out, combining facial massage, science-based skincare, nutrition, and lifestyle support. Claudia shares her personal journey with stress, inflammation, rosacea, and dietary intolerance, and how these experiences shaped her holistic approach to skin health. Together, we explore why facial massage is a powerful tool for circulation, lymphatic flow, and nervous system regulation, why barrier health must always come first, and how modern life, stress, and food choices show up on the skin.

This episode is a gentle and thoughtful way to begin the year. It is about aging well, listening to your skin, and choosing approaches that support long-term skin health rather than fighting biology.
