Today, I am joined by my sister-in-law and local Fine Gael candidate, Sharon Tolan, in the run-up to our local elections. Although I am not politically minded, every day, I am in awe of the passion and energy this lady has in pursuing the greater good of the local community.

Probably the most misunderstood molecule in skincare, Vitamin A is as vital for healthy skin as oxygen is for life. It is the chief instigator of all events within the skin's cellular matrix, including hyaluronic acid and collagen synthesis. And the greatest myth, in my opinion, is that the more irritating the form is, the better the results. The skin is an organ; just like any organ, if you continuously stress it by using harsh and irritating ingredients, it will become compromised, inflamed and uncomfortable. If you are passionate about skin and skin health, then today's episode of Skin Deep is essential listening.

I remember the day I looked in the mirror, and it dawned on me that I had been living a lie. I had lived all my life thinking I had my mum's eyes. An eye, I can assure you, that would never require a Blepharoplasty. That day, I realised I had inherited my dad's eyes. It's funny how I loved my mum's brown eyes because they reminded me of her; I never had the same warm feeling when it came to my dad's heavy eyelid. Lol. I decided at that moment that I would have a blepharoplasty at some stage in the future, only considering it again once I was invited to London to interview the recently appointed medical director of Environ Skincare, Dr Matthias Aust. After a few glasses of Rioja in Claridges, I felt ready to ask Dr Aust if he would be so kind as to perform the procedure. And here I am. 14 days post-surgery, ready to give you all the details. I want to thank the amazing Dr Matthias Aust for his professionalism and patience. He made the whole procedure a very positive experience and was constantly on hand to evaluate and reassure when required. You will find Dr Aust and his team here: https://www.instagram.com/aust_aesthetik/ Thank you to Lusso Tan for making this possible. Shop 20% off using my code SKINDEEP20 at LussoTan.com.

Our police force is in crisis, and our criminal justice system has effectively collapsed. The Garda Representative Association has started its protest against roster changes due to kick in next month. This action saw Garda refusing voluntary overtime. Our Garda are over stressed , over worked , overwhelmed and under resourced . Little wonder we are loosing them at a greater rate than recruiting them . I couldn't have timed my conversation with Laura Young any better. Laura was a member of An Garda Síochána for 14 years before the immense stress took over, forcing her to give up on a career she had put so much time into building. I wanted to put this episode out there to raise awareness of the struggles within the force. The tightening of purse strings has impacted those who dedicate their career to protecting us; they have never been under as much pressure or in as much danger.

Almost two years ago I was invited to Lutronics head office in London for a LaseMD treatment. I had been looking into RF microneedling devices as there was a buzz on social media about them but also curious about the 1927 nm Thulium Laser. After three days, I was sold. The results I could see coming and how comfortable and safe the procedure had been were enough for me to want to be the first person in Ireland to bring a Lutronic device to the country. Today, I am joined by the genius behind the devices, CTO James Bartholomeusz. James is an expert in the science and development of lasers for aesthetic technologies. Also, after experiencing hair loss, he has formulated Kerafactor—a hair growth stimulant to be used with LaseMD. He has succeeded in getting clearance for the European market and was eager to share his insights with me regarding RF microneedling a]and how LaseMD is also his favourite of all Lutronic devices. As always, thank our sponsor Lusso Tan for bringing you this episode.

Just four weeks before her Just four weeks before her wedding, 2fm presenter and DWTS champ Lottie Ryan came into my clinic, desperate for me to help where many others had let her down. Her skin had been peeled to the point of collapse, and I promised to build it back up for her. What Lottie didn't know when she left was the little chat I had with her heavenly father, Gerry Ryan, whom I was a big fan of, thanking him for sending her to me and promising him I would fix her. That began a fast-track journey to beautiful, healthy skin for Lottie and a really special relationship for us. It has been a joy watching Lottie accomplish her dreams on the dance floor with Dancing with the Stars as well as Blossom on RTE 2fm and today, making the very courageous move of stepping away from her agent and starting her podcast Jen and Lottie do Parenting. You will find Lottie on her social channels @Lottieryan1, as well as her funny and charming podcast Jen & Lottie Do Parenting Thank you to our sponsor, Lusso Tan, for their continued support, and to you, the listener, thank you for all your fantastic feedback and for spreading the work skin deep xt

Jenny Claffey was one half of the mega successful podcast show It Galz. However when her friendship with co presenter and business partner fell apart, the show inevitably collapsed. I talk to Jenny today about overcoming a work wife divorce , having to pivot with her business and how she raised from the ashes and landed in the RED ROOM.

I am so excited to introduce the newly appointed medical advisor for Environ Skincare, Dr Matthias Aust. Dr Aust began his journey with Environ and Dr Des Fernandes over 20 years ago as a sceptical young surgeon who believed the only way to make enhancements to skin was with a knife. It took Dr Des's influence to demonstrate otherwise. Now many years later, Dr Aust uses a combination of Environ skincare and surgery to revise scarring for burn victims. He is one of the world's leading researchers of skin needling, a modality pioneered by his mentor, and in 2010 Dr Matthias Aust completed his professor thesis on the topic: "Percutaneous Collagen Induction. If you are fortunate enough to work with Environ , or reap the rewards of being a client, then sit back and enjoy this new energy that's sweeping through.

Today I am joined by Dr Jenny Linders from Skincheck Clinic in Bayside, Jenny, under the guidance of Dr Steve Karagiannis, a fellow of the skin cancer institute, who spends most of their time doing melanoma surveillance in their five clinics dotted around Dublin. I have spent a considerable amount of my time campaigning for more awareness in this arena, as it sometimes feels that despite applying copious amounts of SPF, skin cancer continues to be the fastest-growing cancer in the world. We, as an industry, need to do more. My team and I have gone into schools to educate the next generation of parents, and I have worked with VHI on a corporate level, raising awareness and educating people. This is the only way to soften the curve, in my opinion. A podcast episode dedicated to what more we can do is a natural next step.

I promised my younger self that I would never forget how it felt to be 15, and when the time came, if I were lucky enough to have children myself, I would make sure they felt seen, heard and important . With that in mind, I choose to sit with Grace, my firstborn daughter, three days before her first state exam. I wanted her to share her experience with problem skin and how she manages it, what songs soothe her and what makes her cry, as well as how she's feeling ahead of her Junior cert exam and how she's handled a transition to secondary school.

During this period, Sylvia started to notice a resting tremor in her left arm, trouble sleeping and other symptoms of Parkinson's' disease.

Every day we are bombarded with treatments and products looking to destroy , sand down and oblate the outer layer of skin called the Stratum Corneum. Some label it dead and useless, due to it being an annulated cell. However , I have always had a profound understanding and respect for this layer of skin in the context of overall skin health. Today I invited Tracy Tamaris, co-founder of IIAA and the lady responsible for bringing Environ skincare to the UK and Ireland, onto my podcast to discuss this. Tracy has long been a champion of the Stratum Corneum. She will share why it's so essential and clarify any misunderstanding on Vitamin A while also giving us insight into her favourite skincare products and supplements. Enjoy x

Electrolytes are not just for athletes, tummy bugs and hen weekends. Electrolytes are salts and minerals like sodium, potassium, chloride, and bicarbonate. They're found in our blood and help conduct electrical impulses in the body. They play an essential role in the nervous system, keeping you hydrated, contracting muscles, and regulating the pH system. When Clodagh O'Connor, creator and founder of G&G kombucha and Hydrate Electrolyte drink, sent me her product to try, I felt like I had been handed the missing piece in my performance puzzle. I found recovery was better. I was less fatigued, I slept better, and my digestion improved. I struggle to take in water during the day as I work with clients and can't run to the bathroom every few minutes, so this suits my lifestyle too. I drink less to stay more hydrated.

I have had many clients with "Only fan" accounts reach out to me for support with their skin. It always fascinated me how these girls have the potential to make so much money from this platform, and it must be empowering to know they are fully in control, as opposed to a man acting on their behalf and taking massive cuts on their earnings. Kat Hanudelova reached out to me from Mexico with very painful acne. Very soon, we cleared her acne and most of her scarring using all the fantastic modalities we work with in the clinic. I watched her grow and become so much more confident. When she decided to leap into entrepreneurship, I invited her onto my podcast to chat about her transition into the business world and what only Fans taught her. Find Kat @MothersMoss !

In March 1936, my grandparents gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. Ireland, at that time, was a very different place to the Ireland we know today, and despite being in love and wanting to marry, they weren't allowed to keep their baby girl. Giving her up for adoption, my grandparents had one request, that she be named Elizabeth after my Grandfather's adored sister, who had succumbed to TB.  In 1980, Betty (Elizabeth) made the brave decision to reach out to her birth mum, and so began a beautiful story of love, loss and many years of laughter.  One day, Betty asked me to document her story. Less than four weeks after we did, Betty went to her eternal place of rest. I honestly believe that on that day in the podcast studio, she knew she was simply leaving her affairs in order and preparing for her final journey. It was a privilege to have played a role in this. Rest in Peace, Dear Elizabeth. "There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you."  ~ Maya Angelou

Welcome to Skin Deep with Corinna Tolan.

On Today's episode of Skin Deep , I sit with Consultant Gastroenterologist Dr Ann-Marie Eustace Ryan . My aim was to raise awareness for Colorectal Cancer, given the massive spike in numbers in both men and women aged 25-50, but what I got was my mind blown. I always felt I had a deep understanding about the gut and microbiome but what I had not realized is that its so much simpler than that. It literally boils down to what food choices you make and what biome you choose to feed . Small disciplines repeated with consistency every day lead to great achievements gained slowly over time. This episode will change how you think, change how you speak with your children and most importantly, change how you speak to yourself. @drannmarieeustaceryan @corinna_monicatolanbeauty

When treating clients with inflammatory skin conditions, I often look for a psychological mind switch to augment results. Sometimes this switch in the client's psychology happens early in their journey, and sometimes it fails to occur. I invited Jessica Alstrom, a quantum alchemist who works with you, to realise and release your true potential to join me on today's episode. We discuss the effects of how harbouring emotional pain and grief can manifest on the skin and how we can heal ourselves by working on our mindset.
