Welcome to an episode featuring two women who are practically royalty in the beauty world, the wonderful Noella Gabriel and Oriele Frank who are two of the three founders of Elemis.

I also loved chatting to these two women together...women who have been business pa...

In this third special wellbeing episode for January I'm talking to Natalie Lee aka Style Me Sunday about one of the biggest trends for 2020 : Sexual Wellbeing.

Natalie and I talk candidly about everything from orgasms to self pleasure to how to talk about our desires in the bedroom and expl...

If there's one thing I've learnt about skincare, it's that it is a topic that is brimming with debate and difference of opinion. One expert's minimal approach is another's love for acid peels and retinol. Of all my guests, Marie Reynold's approach to skin (and health) is one of the most alternative and fascinating. Over the year's she has applied her learning and experience to formulate her own very individual and holistic skincare methodology. Get ready to hear about what our feet can tell us a...

The first thing that Pamela said to me when I met her before recording this podcast was that she is VERY opinionated when it comes to skincare and products and boy was she right. Pamela doesn't hold back and her sometimes extreme views all root from a deep passion and lifelong study of skin and what makes it behave in certain ways. Get ready to hear Pamela talk about her views on high street skincare, the simple things that we can all do to achieve better skin and an affordable product that she ...

In this New Year's Day special I chat through my ideas for making sure that January 2020 is a positive and exciting month rather than the gloomy one that it can often feel like.

I also celebrate my favourite beauty brands and products of 2019. If I had an Outspoken Beauty Awards Ceremony, these guys would be the winners! For a full list of produc...

Prepare to meet a woman who saw a big problem in the beauty industry and set about making things right. Florence Adepoju was tired of trying to find a foundation shade that matched her skin only to be told that the right one "wasn't on stock" or didn't exist or a lipstick that suited her that wasn't just limited edition so she set about forming her own brand MDM Flow (in her early 20's). Flo worked from her shed making products to suit all women of all colours and soon enough word had got out an...

I met Daniel Sandler at a party a couple of months ago and thought he was the most brilliant man. Within moments I was asking him round to come on the podcast and luckily he agreed. Yay!

He found his passion and made it into a career and his story is just fascinating and really captures what it felt like to work at a time where people were even more daring with their self expression than they are today. ...

Joining me in today's episode is a man who has been a true pioneer of skincare since he started out as a dermatologist in 1972. He soon realised that it wasn't enough to just treat skin.

Cher is back and we're chatting about all sorts this week. I talk through my breast biopsy results and the actual experience of the biopsy (which was actually strangely funny thanks to a professor who did everything in his power to take my mind off it).
