    A Derm Explains: The Science-Backed Ingredients That Will Help You Achieve Healthy-Looking Skin For Life, What’s Overhyped and Do Those Tiktok Skincare Hacks Actually Do Anything?

    Brought to you in partnership with Aveeno, this week's bonus episode is all about the scientifically proven ingredients that will help you achieve peak, healthy-looking skin. Joining us in the hot seat is board-certified dermatologist Dr. Geeta Yadav, founder of FACET Dermatology in Toronto, who has been quoted in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Allure, Vanity Fair and Cosmopolitan


    You’ll find out:


    • How healthy skin functions, and the key factors to protect at all costs, like your skin’s acid mantle, microbiome and skin barrier.  
    • The telltale signs that your skin barrier is seriously compromised, for every tone in the Fitzpatrick scale.
    • From ceramides to oatmeal to vitamin C and more – the fundamentals of building the perfect, healthy skin ingredient wardrobe.
    • How to treat signs of aging, acne and pigmentation while keeping your skin barrier intact. Like, is retinol a total no-go? How about exfoliation?
    • Does the TikTok-viral beef tallow trend have any merit? Plus, deciphering which other pantry-adjacent ingredients are and aren’t worth your time.

    Are You Ready for Your First "Aging Spike”? Plus! “Secret Menus” at Derm Offices and The Skincare Ingredients That Will be Everywhere in 2025 with Derm Approved Podcast Host Dr. Sheila Farhang

    What if we don’t age in a linear pattern, and instead, experience pronounced “bursts” at ages 44 and 60? The latest study out Stanford Medicine published in the scientific journal, Nature, has given the skincare community a lot to mull over. Today, we’re welcoming double-board certified dermatologist, cosmetic surgeon and host of the Derm Approved podcast, Dr. Sheila Farhang, to help us break it all down.

    • Where to click to find your best dermatologist provider, for cosmetic or medical purposes, without any spon-con
    • Is there a “secret” menu at your dermatologist’s office that we should know about?? The cocktailing injection fads that are and aren’t worth trying, according to the derm
    • Dr. Sheila’s response to filler fatigue, “perception drift” and where some injectors have gone way overboard
    • Getting filler dissolved? Listen to what Dr. Sheila has to say first 
    • The surprising ingredient that she predicts will be big in 2025, beyond its gimmicky reputation
    • The peer-reviewed injectors seal of approval list we mention is Castle Connolly and esthetic concierge services like Persana

    “Perfume Princess” Mona Kattan On Kayali’s Meteoric Rise at Sephora, The Secrets to Fragrance Layering and Is Your Signature Scent Overrated?

    Today we’re welcoming the “Perfume Princess,” Mona Kattan! Mona is a serial entrepreneur, co-founder of Huda Beauty (alongside her sisters Huda and Alya Kattan) and founder of the smash hit fragrance brand, Kayali. Since its 2018 debut, fans like Cardi B flock to Kayali’s mouth-watering, gourmand scents, like Yum Pistachio and their best-selling, Vanilla 28 Eau de Parfum. We find out what’s behind the perfume hype, and why the Dubai Bling cast member is so much more than her lavish image.


    Tune in to hear about


    • How Mona tapped into her Middle Eastern roots, and its rich tradition of fragrance wearing, to share the power of perfume with the world
    • Why the Kayali owner likens “oud” in perfumery to truffle oil in cuisine – and how to make the luxuriously rich fragrance note work for real life
    • How layering unexpected perfume pairings can yield the best results (sparkling lychee and patchouli, anyone?)
    • The avid scent collector’s 5,000 fragrance piece perfume library in Dubai – and the *one* that remains her favourite to this day.
    • Why Mona proudly considers herself an empath, and how her most vulnerable trait became the rocketfuel to building a global fragrance empire

    Today we’re welcoming Maria Cristina Bruno, founder of The Fix Method, a facial massage technique that lifts, depuffs and sculpts while relieving signs of “cortisol face” and premature aging. Maria’s method is low-key famous for producing immediate facial and skin transformations that are so dramatic, she’s often called upon to train fellow top estheticians like LA Facialist Candace Marino and Joanna Czech’s team – along with 10,000+ therapists worldwide.

    • Do you have “cortisol face”? The telltale signs, and the fix
    • Glass skin is back, and this esthetician says there’s only one sure-fire ingredient to get it.
    • What is fascia? And why are skin therapists all talking about it right now
    • Do you need buccal massage? What to know if you’ve ever considered an intra-oral massage.
    • The one exercise we can all do to achieve an eye-opening “Fix Method” effect ourselves. (See the demo on our Reels or YouTube Shorts.)
    • Scoop alert! Details on the skincare range that Maria Cristina currently has in development to target hyperpigmentation and achieve glowing skin
