While many of us were stressing over sourdough starters, I spent my lockdown trying to perfect my pigment correction treatment - from first formulation thoughts to eventually launching my Yellow Peel mask (with many iterations along the way, I must add).
The road to launching your own skincare products is fairly uncharted and is normally a long one with many bumps along the way. This episode is a look down this road, with my thoughts, tips and learnings on the tricky but truly exhilarating process.

So today is filled with facts - filler facts.

When it comes to choosing your aesthetic treatment (surgical or non-surgical), it can feel a bit like Tinder; swiping left and right over highly edited images from a huge portfolio of 'expert' practitioners, to find your perfect match. But just as we know how disappointing your date so often is in real life, so too do you risk underwhelming and even downright-dangerous results by taking a non-expert approach to treatment choices.
Enter Olivia Falcon, former beauty editor at Tatler, architect of the Tatler Cosmetic Surgery Guide and now the founder of The Editor's List. Think of it as your expert aesthetic concierge service. It takes the guesswork out of finding the safest hands and most skilled practitioners in the business.
Today, Olivia is giving us her expert view on the changing face of the cosmetic industry, both in the UK and across the pond in the States. She'll discuss everything from trending treatments to risk factors, and why you should never treat cosmetic habits like your handbag habits - instead, think "less, but better". This episode is all about arming you with the knowledge to make savvy, sensible, and safe decisions for natural and effective results.

You know what you're going to get at McDonald's - some immediate satisfaction perhaps, but long-term you'll probably be left feeling a bit grim. Well, in the world of anti-wrinkle injections, it's very much the same (meal) deal.
Arguably the most popular aesthetic treatment, this procedure is widely available - from the back of your nail salon to your hairdresser's waiting area. But here's the catch: if you want to avoid looking perma-surprised, frozen or just plain weird, it's essential to understand how this treatment works, and more importantly, that the practitioner treating you does.
So today, we're talking toxin truths - how to ensure natural results, the risks of overdoing it and why a Michelin-starred approach to muscle relaxing is really the best way to go.

There's no denying the transformative effects of a professional brow treatment; shaped just right, they'll frame your features while adding structure and definition to your face. But you only have to step onto the tube to see the victims of 'over-doing it' (think two fat sausages sitting atop your eyes) or having 'under-done it' (the 90s plucking era, we'll never forgive you).
Luckily, we have The Queen of Brows, Suzanne Martin, creator of the Couture Brow ™️ and the artist behind most of the A-listers' arches, with us today, to talk us through what it really takes to enhance your individual beauty by creating the perfect, eye-opening and symmetry-centric eyebrow.
Tweezers and brow pencils down - this is the real 'Brows 101'.

It's more common to have an uneven skin tone than not. Regardless of your skin colour, dark spots and patches can appear on any part of the face and body. This is referred to as hyperpigmentation - think of it as your skin's way of keeping a diary of your adventures (such as sun-soaked holidays, scarring moments and pregnancy journeys). While it's common, many people find it problematic.
So, as summer gives its last hurrah, I'm sharing my Pigmentation Playbook. It's designed to get you clear on the types of hyperpigmentation you may (or may not) have, outline the approach to treating this tricky skin concern, and explain why taking a 'stepladder' approach might be your best bet in the quest for a bright and even complexion.

We're flashing our hazard lights today as we face an unsightly side of aesthetics - the risks of certain procedures, the red flags you need to watch out for, and Salima's and my own experiences with treatments gone wrong (think scars, swelling, and IV antibiotics - it ain't a pretty picture).
While many aesthetic treatments are highly effective when performed by experienced and highly qualified practitioners, there are some I personally would avoid at all costs, and in this episode, you'll discover why three particular procedures have made it onto my hit list.

Injectable moisturisers? It’s a thing (that’s right Salima, another thing to get under your skin) and in the world of Aesthetics, one of the most exciting new frontiers in age-optimising treatments.

Got a gut feeling? Well, today it's all about why you actually 'do' need to listen to it, because as Nutritional Therapist Andy Daly explains, it's the organ that most determines your overall health, skin included.
The Sugar DoctorTM shares some unsavoury truths about sugar and its inflammatory impact on the body, sets us straight on pre-, pro-, and postbiotics, skin supplements, and why our stools may well hold the answers to our health concerns.
We're also tackling the rise of histamine issues, from the strangest and most severe symptoms to the foods to avoid if you're struggling with intolerance, as well as the youth-preserving power of boiling and steaming our food and why we should all be thinking a little more Japanese.
About our guest:
Andy Daly calls herself the “Sugar Doctor” ®️ because she believes most health issues arise in the gut, where refined sugars cause havoc.
She initially qualified and practised as a lawyer for many years, but later decided to change her career path to focus on her passions of diet, health and wellbeing.

When it comes to our faces, the nose takes center stage. So, it's little wonder that so many of us (me included) may feel more than a bit nosey about the options available to improve our hang-ups over nose bumps (technically known as dorsal humps), wide and flaring nostrils, or downward-pointing tips.
In this episode, you'll get the skinny on the rise of non-surgical rhinoplasty treatments – an aesthetic tweakment that could correct your nose woes in as little as 5 minutes, without the downtime, risk, and expense that surgery holds. I'm taking Salima through the nitty-gritty details of what a non-surgical nose job entails, along with who it's suitable for, its limitations, and why rhinoplasty is probably the surgery with the highest level of dissatisfaction.

Biostimulators, boosters, skincare, toxins, fillers, lasers... there's a myriad of ways we can support, strengthen, and rejuvenate our skin as we age. But where on earth do we start, and when should we begin thinking about doing what?
Salima and I are racing through the decades today - from troublesome teens to swinging sixties and beyond - to guide you through the changes that happen deep within the skin. We'll explore timely tweakments and savvy skincare best considered at each milestone.
Melasma moustaches, SPANX for the skin and the importance of a good mental attitude, we’re covering it all. So, whatever your age, it’s worth tuning in today (note - even if you're a teenager, slap on that SPF!).

Has facial fat become the latest victim of our culture’s toxic obsession with downsizing? Today we’re tackling a somewhat unappetising new phenomenon – the rise of weight loss ‘miracle’ drug Ozempic, and the subsequent fall of our youth-preserving facial fat.
With hollowed-out temples and gaunt, sunken structures, it seems the recreational use of diet drugs may, in fact, be creating BOBFOCs (Bodies Off Baywatch, Faces Off Crime Watch). Fillers can only go so far, so if you are thinking of going down the Ozempic route, we have some advice you need to hear – even if it’s hard to swallow.
