1:31

we had this chat podcast to a venue

1:33

near you. Promising you an unforgettable

1:36

night of unbridled honesty, unfiltered

1:38

opinions, F bombs and fearlessness.

1:40

Come join me and a

1:42

stellar lineup of special guests

1:44

as we talk all things,

1:46

skincare and beauty, along with

1:48

frank discussions about life's adventures,

1:50

challenges, highlights, highlights and joys,

1:52

with exclusive on-stage skincare demos

1:54

entertaining Q&As and a healthy

1:56

dose of unscripted hilarity. This

1:58

2:00

on steroids. It's happening. Get

2:04

2:07

we are folks. The most insanely efficacious

2:09

and surreal luxurious cleansing bomb in the

2:11

world has landed. I don't need to

2:13

tell you what it takes to put

2:15

my name to a cleansing bomb and

2:17

this one had one mother of a brief.

2:19

The Skin Rocks cleansing bomb is the

2:21

best bomb ever created and one I

2:23

would choose every single time over anything

2:25

I've ever used. Five rollercoaster years

2:27

of fearless ambition, sky-high expectation, tears,

2:30

triumphs and F-boms. No pressure then.

2:32

but what a result. Undoubtedly my

2:35

most anticipated product, this was by

2:37

far the hardest to make. The

2:39

texture and crunch that took four

2:42

years to perfect, its ability to

2:44

decimate literally everything on your face,

2:46

the are in a jar sent,

2:49

the paperweight heavy hot pink glass,

2:51

I mean literally everything I adore

2:54

in a cleanser, has been distilled

2:56

into one glorious jar and it

2:58

is absolutely spectacular. Transforming from a

3:01

solid balm to a rich replenishing

3:03

oil, this barrier-nourishing balm is formulated

3:05

with the same innovative lipid advanced

3:08

complex as the support oil. To

3:10

deliver supreme skin barrier support and

3:12

help improve skin firmness, elasticity and

3:14

hydration, there is simply nothing like

3:17

it. It's 55 pounds, it's ready

3:19

and waiting, and there is no dupe.

3:21

Right, welcome back to glad we had this

3:23

chat everybody. Listeners questions of the pod

3:25

and I'm enjoying this week by Nicholas

3:27

Travis and obviously we're going to be

3:30

doing skin care specials. Are you ready? I'm

3:32

ready. Let it rip. Pretend we're at dinner. I

3:34

want that Nicholas to show up for this.

3:36

You ready? Do you think that cheaper branded

3:38

skin care that I can buy in boots

3:40

or super jug can really compete with high-end

3:42

brands or are we fooling ourselves with affordable

3:44

options? I think it depends on what you're

3:46

looking for. So if you're looking for straight

3:49

up hydration, go for the cheaper option. Yeah,

3:51

you're fine. If you're looking for an SPF,

3:53

it doesn't really matter. You just find one

3:55

that you love and you reapply. You're going

3:57

to use the texture. You're going to use

3:59

the texture. If you can get

4:01

prescription Tretanoid, amazing, please

4:03

go buy that. So I think it

4:06

really depends on what you're really looking

4:08

for and what product is. And

4:10

also your age, like I am,

4:12

because when you're postmenopausal, the skin

4:15

is so much, so more less forgiving.

4:17

And so I couldn't use a treat.

4:19

My face would fall off. It just

4:21

wouldn't happen. Yeah, absolutely. But you can

4:23

use your tread on your body. Oh

4:25

yeah, elbows, elbows, head, shoulders, knees

4:27

and toes. Yes. Okay. Do you

4:30

think skin type classifications like oily,

4:32

dry, combination are outdated, or can

4:34

I still use this as a guide

4:37

when buying product? Oh, I think it's

4:39

a little, honestly, I think it's a

4:41

little bit outdated. Simply because if let's

4:44

say you're oily, right, and I've had

4:46

customers who come in and they're like...

4:48

40s, late 40s, and they're 50s. And

4:50

they're like, oh my skin is really

4:52

oily, but I was like, babe, I think

4:55

it's just dehydration. Or your skin

4:57

was oily when you were 15

4:59

and you've never gotten over it.

5:01

Yeah, exactly. So I think it's

5:03

outdated. I think the best thing

5:05

to the way to shop is

5:08

essentially what your skincare goals are

5:10

and what actives. So go for

5:12

the what you're trying to treat

5:14

rather than how your skin feels

5:16

on the daily. Exactly. I think I've

5:18

completely ruined my skin barrier. I've

5:20

been using a new higher strength retinal

5:22

every evening and my skin has

5:24

become red, extremely irritated, and I'm starting

5:27

to break out. I have no idea

5:29

what to do to get my skin back to

5:31

normal, please help. Yeah. So if this

5:33

happened to an allies skin, or somebody

5:35

who wants to buy allies the skin, I

5:37

would say simple is really great. So a

5:40

simple cleanser, so a hydrating cleanser. I would

5:42

do the copper tri-peptite repair serum because

5:44

that repairs and rebuild the barrier and

5:46

reduces inflammation. Then I'll use a recovery

5:48

cream rub, a thick moisturizer. You don't

5:51

have to use all of them. You

5:53

can just use a thick moisturizer. Seal

5:55

it with an oil and oil is

5:58

really, really great. It's so underrated. I

6:00

feel people don't use oils enough but

6:02

use a great oil to just reduce

6:04

trans epidemic water loss and follow up

6:06

with this zygoxide cream. Not the ones

6:08

that you can put in your face.

6:11

So like triple paste. What he means

6:13

is don't use nappy cream. Don't use

6:15

napping cream. Yeah. And also don't use

6:17

too strong a vitamin A too often.

6:19

Yeah. And you know the thing with

6:21

vitamin A or retinoids, it's not the

6:24

concentration. It's really slow in stating it's

6:26

like a marathon, right? Like studies have

6:28

shown that you could use a low

6:30

strength one twice a week, three times

6:32

a week, over the over a period

6:35

of time. You get the same results

6:37

as using something really strong like every

6:39

day. Yeah, that's what I keep trying

6:41

to say with like with our retinoid

6:43

too, because it's a strong one. When

6:45

I keep saying to people, you don't

6:48

need to use it every day. Use

6:50

it. every other day and every second

6:52

day you'll show you that same results

6:54

and you'll save money because you're not

6:56

using as much product right okay you're

6:58

ready for tick-top trends yes okay natural

7:01

Botox I'm already laughing fill half a

7:03

bottle with castor oil and half with

7:05

her hober oil add 20 drops of

7:07

frank incense this can't be real I

7:09

can't shake the bottle and apply to

7:11

your skin twice daily in just two

7:14

weeks time your wrinkles will be less

7:16

visible and your skin will be tightened

7:18

No it won't. No it won't. Also,

7:20

also, also Botox means you freeze your

7:22

muscles. You stop moving, so how is

7:24

that? You're not gonna do, there is

7:27

no natural Botox. No, there's no, you

7:29

need a needle. Yeah. And something like

7:31

a Botox. Botulism. Yeah, literally. I mean,

7:33

that's why it's called Botox. Yeah. This

7:35

is why I can't do TikTok. On

7:37

the whole thing about natural Botox, though,

7:40

getting past the whole... I think it's

7:42

just a judgment thing. I don't think

7:44

it is a financial thing. I think

7:46

a lot of people, especially women, are

7:48

just like, oh no, I can't have

7:50

Botox because I only use skin care,

7:53

I don't have Botox, as if it's

7:55

like a hierarchical thing. The whole obsession

7:57

with castor oil. Where is it come

7:59

from? I think it comes... from hair

8:01

growth. So people apply on their lashes,

8:03

their brows, and I think their hairline,

8:06

because I'm sure you know that people

8:08

do like oil pulling on the hair.

8:10

Whether or not it's been shown to

8:12

work. I mean there is something that

8:14

says cast roller work if you can

8:16

use it and not have a reaction

8:19

to it. So I know some of the

8:21

people on the team, I think they try

8:23

to apply on their lashes and they see

8:26

growing. But it doesn't mean it's

8:28

a Botox. No, it's not a

8:30

Botox. So I don't. I don't know.

8:32

And then I don't know why Frank

8:34

consents. I mean, it's a... Save that

8:36

for your Christmas candle, babes. And

8:38

also, 20 drops of it is

8:41

a lot. Yeah. So half a bottle.

8:43

I mean, I hope it's a nice oil,

8:45

but it's not going to like change

8:47

the structure of your skin. Nothing

8:49

in there will freeze your

8:51

face except an injected... Botulism.

8:54

Yeah, exactly. The end.

8:56

Face taping won't do it.

8:58

Castor oil won't do it. And

9:01

I don't get it. Just get

9:03

bold talks with a big deal.

9:05

Just get bolders and I don't

9:07

tell anybody, right? Yeah, done. Don't

9:10

talk about it. No, done. You

9:12

don't have to go out. I've

9:14

got bird talks. Just do it.

9:17

Who cares? Who cares? No one's

9:19

judging. We don't really get

9:21

in the wrong thing. Yeah.

9:23

Yeah. Just do your

9:26

own thing. I

9:29

agree. It's

9:31

only like

9:34

you call

9:37

attention to

9:39

it. Stop

9:41

trying to follow

9:44

a trend. Yeah, I don't

9:46

get it. With indeed sponsored

facials. Putting menstrual

12:01

blood on your face is good for your

12:03

skin as the stem cells in the

12:05

blood can help to regenerate skin cells and

12:07

have a positive impact. Ew.

12:11

Okay, this is just up there

12:13

with me for sperm facials. Yeah,

12:16

but it's seven sperm. No, I'm talking about man

12:18

sperm. Who does that? Freaks, lunatics.

12:22

It is out there. I

12:24

highly suggest you don't Google it because

12:26

it's not something you wanna see. How do

12:28

they get it though? The sperm? I

12:30

mean, do you see what I mean? Like

12:32

forget it, but also period blood. Something

12:35

that your body is ejecting,

12:38

whether it's poo, wee, or blood,

12:40

or snot, or earwax. Doesn't

12:42

mean you put it back on

12:44

your face. I agree. And

12:46

also, the blood also

12:48

has the lining, so it's shedding

12:50

the lining. Yeah, you're putting the

12:53

lining on your face. how? hot,

12:55

uh, Yeah, yeah, I can't. No,

12:57

okay. This

12:59

one is, okay, anti -dandruff shampoo

13:01

for acne. Using anti

13:03

-dandruff shampoo, such as Head and Shoulders to

13:05

treat fungal acne. No, but not Head and

13:07

Shoulders. It needs to be like a Nizoral,

13:09

so it's anti -fungal. It's recommended to massage the

13:11

shampoo into your face to reduce the yeast buildup twice

13:13

a week. That actually works. I got Max

13:15

to do that. So there's a shampoo called

13:17

Nizoral in the UK. I think you can

13:19

get it everywhere else. But I mean, it

13:21

would be similar to Head and Shoulders, but

13:24

it's more of an anti -fungal. So there is

13:26

a new term, which isn't a medical classified

13:28

term called fungal acne, which basically is on

13:30

especially teenagers, a lot of teenage boys, when

13:32

they have their tiny, small red, sort

13:34

of red raised dots across their forehead. And

13:36

on their back and shoulders, you can

13:38

use Nizoral for that. That's the

13:40

pinkish, is it pinkish? Yeah, I

13:42

have that in a bathroom

13:44

just in case. Reddish, reddish pinkish.

13:46

For God's sake. Okay, rice

13:48

face masks. Cook basmati rice until soft

13:51

and then blend it to create

13:53

a liquid consistency. Apply this to your

13:55

face as a mask and leave

13:57

for 10 to 15 minutes to achieve.

14:00

glass skin. For those of you who can't

14:02

see, Nicholas is rolling in his eyes to

14:04

the back of his head like he's had

14:06

a stroke. Okay, I would say it's too

14:08

much effort because you have the boy buy

14:10

the rise and boil the rise and then

14:12

just Manuka honey out of a jar is

14:14

really so much better. That's what I would

14:17

do. To do what? To get glass skin?

14:19

Okay, what exactly is glass? Well, yeah, what

14:21

would Manuka honey do to your skin if

14:23

you use it? I use it all the

14:25

skin if you. If you're breaking out, if your

14:27

skin is a little bit in flame, it helps

14:29

with acne. A lot of great things, I do

14:31

it. Of course, you just have to get used

14:34

to the feeling of honey on your skin, but

14:36

it is so much easier getting Manuka honey out

14:38

of a jar and putting it on your face.

14:40

That's a face test. Then boiling rice. I mean,

14:42

I think it must come from rice water.

14:44

Because rice water is notoriously soft.

14:47

You know, rice water is soft on the skin.

14:49

It's a soft water. You can buy rice

14:51

water for like babies when you're bathing

14:53

babies and things like that. That must

14:55

be where it comes from. But I've

14:57

never heard blending the rice and putting

14:59

that on. Eat the rice. Facial flooding. Where's

15:02

that? Okay, I can't. Oh, it's like a lot

15:04

of products. Facial flooding is the process of

15:06

applying all skincare products to damp skin. Apply

15:08

a mist or essence in between each step

15:10

to keep the skin wet. Your skin is

15:13

a sponge. Oh, no, it's fucking not. Your

15:15

skin is a sponge and when it's wet,

15:17

it absorbs the products much better. This will

15:19

build collagen tighten, tighten your skin up and

15:22

help you achieve hydrated glass skin. What's the

15:24

obsession with glass skin? Okay. Firstly, it's

15:26

so much wrong in that, you go.

15:28

Firstly, it does not rebuild college, no.

15:30

Let's let's let's add that, but yes,

15:32

you should always apply skin cure or

15:35

damp skin. Yeah, it depends though, like,

15:37

but you don't have to do damp,

15:39

then missed, and then apply and then

15:41

missed, and then missed, and then you

15:43

don't have to miss between every single

15:45

step. Get out of the shower, then

15:47

miss once, and then apply your stuff,

15:50

but you have to be careful, because

15:52

it does. I mean, I do because it's fine for

15:54

me. How did I know you were going to say

15:56

that? I do it with all retinoids. I'll miss you

15:58

then use all retinoids, for sure. But I think

16:00

it really, like, maybe assets, HHS, if you're

16:03

using a really strong acidic serum, you may

16:05

want to use that on dry skin. Yeah.

16:07

But the, it's the, your skin is a

16:09

sponge. Where does this come from? Your skin

16:11

is not a sponge. Your skin is a

16:13

brilliant barrier. If it was a sponge, we'd

16:16

never be able to have a bath or

16:18

you would drown. I just can't. It's like

16:20

people just repeat things and they think that

16:22

just makes it a fact. Face taping. Apply

16:25

tape to areas with fine lines and

16:27

wrinkles overnight to prevent movement and reduce

16:29

the appearance of wrinkles. Okay, you can

16:31

reduce the appearance of wrinkles but it's

16:33

only for a short period of time.

16:36

And also I've seen people do like

16:38

silicone patches, right? They just put it,

16:40

it's just silicons. It just blurs the

16:42

thing. So, I've got my head in

16:44

my hands, it's just very, it's kind

16:46

of quite, yeah. I mean, why do

16:49

we just go get Botox? I love

16:51

of God, because then you know it's

16:53

going to know it's going to work.

16:55

No, I know. And it's not the

16:57

hassle. Who wants to tape the freaking

16:59

face every night? I know, but then

17:02

it... And your face is going to

17:04

move. What are you going to do?

17:06

Tape it during the day, because you

17:08

move your face all day long. Exactly.

17:10

And then if you take a photo,

17:12

and then you go on a date,

17:14

and then it's like, how are you

17:17

going to hide that, right? You do

17:19

look normal. Oh, I've got my head

17:21

is taped. Great. Okay, this or that

17:23

you're ready. Yes. God. It's traumatic. I'm

17:25

sorry. I've traumatized you. Dewey or Matt

17:27

skin? Dewey. Obviously. Thank you. You said

17:30

that with the level of disgust that

17:32

I repeat it. Dewey. Dit. No, it'll

17:34

do that. No. Brow gel or brow

17:36

pencil. But I feel like you, your

17:38

brows are like. I don't do anything.

17:40

Yeah, and it's offensive because they are

17:43

perfect. Oh, oh, thank you. I don't.

17:45

I don't. I don't. I haven't. That's

17:47

really offensive, I don't like it now.

17:49

AM routine or PM routine? Oh, PM.

17:51

Space in K or Sapporo? Depends on

17:53

which country? Nice answer. Yeah. Space in

17:55

the UK, in the UK, yeah. Sapporo

17:58

in the US. Cream Plenzer or Jelplen.

18:00

Cream in the morning, gel

18:02

at night. I love this. Eye

18:04

cream or face oil? I could,

18:07

that's just trauma. Okay,

18:09

um, face oil. I do eye

18:11

cream. Really? But I can use

18:13

the face oil on the eye

18:15

cream. Yeah, and I use eye

18:17

cream all over my face. True.

18:20

But I feel like if I

18:22

don't use the face oil, I

18:24

feel like my routine is incomplete.

18:27

Fair. Okay. Big question for

18:29

the end. Yes. What's your favorite

18:32

sandwich? Oh, that's a great question.

18:34

I like the intensity of

18:36

the, oh. Yeah, like a grilled cheese with

18:38

extra crispy bacon. Oh, in the

18:41

sandwich or on the side. It can

18:43

be either. You don't care, you'll just

18:45

take it. I'll just take it. It

18:48

has to be extra crispy though. So

18:50

maybe on the side, but like grilled

18:52

cheese. What bread, what cheese? A sour

18:54

dough? Like blue cheese. Blue cheese. No,

18:56

you ruined it. You're back in the

18:58

sea with the sharks again now. I

19:00

love blue cheese. Like stinky or the better?

19:02

No. No, it's a no for me. Really?

19:05

No. When people are like, oh my God,

19:07

my favorite dessert would be a cheese plate.

19:09

And I'm like, why? Why wouldn't you have

19:11

cake? We have a cheese plate. Yeah.

19:13

Oh, can I have an ice cream

19:15

sandwich? That's even better. Yes, you can

19:17

have an ice cream sandwich. Perfection, well

19:19

done, sir. Okay, I think that's even

19:22

better. That's a much better answer. Yeah,

19:24

thank you. Thank you for answering

19:26

all listeners questions and actually my

19:28

really important question about the sandwich.

19:30

I love that. And that's a wrap
