Let’s talk about the skincare graveyard — that drawer full of half-used products, panic buys, and moisturisers that cost more than your weekly shop… but didn’t actually help your skin.
In this episode, I’m breaking down how to prioritise your skincare spending so you can stop wasting money and start seeing results. From my sandwich analogy (yes, really) to the common myth about luxury moisturisers, this is your no-nonsense guide to what’s worth the investment — and what you can happily skip.
No shame, no fluff, just real advice for real skin.

“Medical grade.” “Clean.” “Non-toxic.” “Natural.”They sound reassuring – but do they actually mean anything?
In this episode, I’m breaking down the skincare buzzwords I hear clients repeat all the time — and explaining why they’re often just clever marketing. If you’ve ever felt confused about what to buy, guilty for not choosing the “right” product, or pressured to overhaul your routine after seeing an influencer’s 12-step glow-up… this one’s for you.
Let’s ditch the fluff, unpack the hype, and talk about what really matters for your skin.

If your skin feels inflamed, unpredictable, or flaring up at the same time each day — your blood sugar might be riding the rollercoaster.
In this episode, we’re talking about how your daily eating rhythms affect more than just energy or mood — they directly impact your skin. I’ll explain what a blood sugar crash actually does to your body (and your face), how to spot the subtle signs, and what to do if you’re stuck in the caffeine-snack-crash-repeat cycle.No food fear, no calorie counting — just real, practical support to help your skin calm down from the inside out.

If your skin feels tight, stingy, red, or suddenly reactive to everything — this episode is for you.
Today we’re talking all things skin barrier: what it is, why it matters, and what it looks like when it’s not quite doing its job. I’ll walk you through how the barrier becomes compromised (often without you realising), why more products aren’t always the answer, and the simple shifts that can help your skin feel calm, protected, and like yours again.
This one’s full of client-style explanations, a waterproof jacket analogy I swear by, and zero fluff.

If your skin’s flaring and your mood’s all over the place, the two might be more connected than you think.
In this episode, we’re talking about how what you eat affects more than just your body — it impacts your energy, your emotions, and your skin. From blood sugar crashes to gut health and the stress your nervous system carries silently, I’ll walk you through how these systems influence each other (and what to do about it).
No guilt, no food fear — just clear, supportive advice to help you feel better and glow from the inside out.

Inflammation is one of the most common – and least understood – drivers behind stubborn skin issues.
In this episode, I’m breaking down what inflammation actually is, how it affects your skin from the inside out, and what to look for if you think it might be part of your skin story.
We’ll talk about the root causes I see most often in clinic (like gut health, blood sugar, and stress), the subtle signs your skin gives you when it’s inflamed, and most importantly — what you can start doing to calm things down.
If your skin feels reactive, red, dull, or just not quite right, this one’s for you.

No guilt. No overwhelm. Just real talk about what’s worth paying attention to — and how to start supporting your skin in small, simple ways that actually make a difference.
