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!

Episode 13 of The SkinCrush Podcast is all about dermal fillers because FILLERS. ARE. LIFE.  We'll #SkinCrushDiscuss some of the most common types of fillers, break down the differences between each, and identify the most well-known filler products.  Other questions we'll address are how long can you can expect each product to last, the average cost of a filler treatment, and what you need to know when selecting an injector.  By the end of this podcast you'll have the info you need to decide if you're ready to try some filler!

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

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.
