For Episode 14 of The SkinCrush Podcast you’ll need an open mind (and an open vein!) because we’re going to #SkinCrushDiscuss platelet-rich plasma and its use in skincare treatments.  It might seem weird to use your own blood as a skincare treatment, but if you’re skincare-obsessed (and I assume you are if you’re listening to this podcast!) you are likely intrigued by anything that promises rejuvenated and glowing skin.  In this episode we’ll dig into what PRP is and how it is being used in skincare treatments to stimulate collagen and restore a youthful appearance!

In Episode 12 of The SkinCrush Podcast we #SkinCrushDiscuss the analogy of seeing aging as a conveyer belt.  This simple and effective story was shared with us by Facial & Reconstructive Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Yula Indeyeva on a previous episode.  When consulting with a plastic surgery patient, Dr. Indeyeva uses this analogy to help set realistic expectations for surgical outcomes.  While not all of us will opt for surgery as part of our skincare journey, it’s still very important that we know how to set realistic expectations for any skincare treatment.  From chemical pe ..read more

Episode 10 of The SkinCrush podcast continues our #SkinCrushDiscuss series where we dig into one of my all-time favorite skincare topics, building a skincare routine!!  The skincare landscape is full of so many fantastic products that it can be difficult to know what products you need, when to use them, in what order to use them, how often to use them… and the list of questions goes on and on.  In this episode I’ll break it all down.  We’ll talk about the very basics of a skincare routine, then expand our discussion all the way to my own 10 steps morning and night.  By the ..read more

In episode 9 of The SkinCrush podcast we continue our #SkinCrushDiscuss series and talk about THE most important skincare product, sunscreen, and a product that most of us wear on a daily basis, foundation.  We know that 80% of women wear foundation everyday so it makes sense that we might want to combine these two products.  But not so fast… it might be better to keep our sunscreen and our makeup in the friend zone rather than trying to couple them up.
