When it comes to skincare, it seems like we just can’t stop talking about compromised skin barriers, sensitive skin and sensitised skin. But what does it all mean? Is there a difference between them? But most importantly, can sensitive skin be fixed? All very good questions, so in this week’s ep we have Dr. Ritu Gupta (MBBS (Hons), PhD, FACD), to helps us wade through what it means to have sensitive skin, red and green flags to watch out for and importantly, what we can do to fix it. Also in this ep: Empties, high maintenance appointments to be more low maintenance and, of course, our MVPs.

THANK YOU for joining us and supporting us on another season - we are forever grateful for all of it. We’ll be back in your eyes soon with season 13! In the meantime, please feel free to rate, review, subscribe and re-listen to some of our older eps.

It seems like every other week there’s a new beauty trend popping up promising to be the *thing* to help us achieve our beauty goals  - LED masks, LED scalp devices, wrinkle patches, mouth taping, preventive botox, and the tip stitch are just a few. Understandably, it’s become quite hard to tell what actually works and what’s just clever marketing. That’s why we’ve brought in Dr. Michael Bassiri to help share if any can make a real difference.

Also in this ep, the new (and new-to-us) beauty brands that have piqued our interest, Bettina’s very through body care routine and product recs, and of course our MVPs - a lightweight volumising product and a spa-like foot treatment for under $20!

Ageing skin comes with getting older, but did you know that 80% of  it is actually caused by sun damage and could be preventable? In today’s ep, we’re joined by Dr Eleni Yiasemides to take us through photoageing - what it is, how we can prevent it, and the very accessible ingredients that can help treat lines, wrinkles, dullness, textured skin and the other signs of ageing. We’re also covering the user-friendly scalp serums that are tried, tested and loved, the benefits of switching to a mineral sunscreen, and our MVPs - a hair product that’s as good as a fresh cut and the skincare serum that’ll give you the hydration, bounce and glow you’ve been missing.

Worried about what’s safe and not safe to use in your skincare routine? Have you found your normally-clear skin is suddenly breaking out every 3 seconds? Are you experiencing the joy of a ‘melasma moustache’? Trying to manage your skin and skincare routine when you’re pregnant can feel confusing and overwhelming, so we asked Dr Yalda Jamali to join us to help simplify the dos, don’ts and helpful tips of pregnancy skincare. Also in this ep - what to use now that Avene’s gentle A-Oxitive Serum has been (rudely) discontinued, there’s a new beauty store to look out for and our MVPs.
