The SkinCrush Podcast

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. Dr. Indeyeva’s analogy can help us all better understand what to expect when we invest in any kind of professional skincare.

In Episode 11 of The SkinCrush Podcast we talk with Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeon, Dr. Yula Indeyeva, from the McCollough Institute for Appearance and Health in Gulf Shores, Alabama. In this episode Dr. Indeyeva describes the unique analogy she uses to discuss surgical expectations, educates us on soft tissue fillers, shares her own experience with platelet-rich plasma therapy, and much more.  It’s one of our best episodes yet!

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.

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.

In Episode 8 of The SkinCrush Podcast we continue our #SkinCrushDiscuss series and explore two of the most commonly asked questions about aestheticians, What is an aesthetician? and What should I expect to experience when seeing an aesthetician?  In this episode we dive deep into how an aesthetician can be your greatest guide on your skincare journey.
