Dad’s getting tips on sexy hands and working for Mary Kay

In this episode I'm joined again by the brilliant beauty editor/journalist Lucia Ferrari who talks us through her top edit of radiance boosting beauty products including skincare and makeup.
Later on we talk through some of the beauty treatments that Lucia has mastered in lockdown and that she will continue to do by herself from now on. (I particularly love the hair removal cream that smells of roses!)
Lucia is so knowledgable and doesn't take her recommendations lightly (I know she thoroughly tests and researches everything). I love catching up with her and hearing about the products that genuinely excite her!

In this episode of My Beauty Habits I'm joined by the utterly lovely Kirsty Gallacher.
Kirsty has been through a lot over the past few years but is in a much better and stronger place now. She chats honestly about how her life has moved on, what it's been like in lockdown with her two boys and how they've been keeping busy.
Kirsty also shares the beauty products and treatments that she loves and the reasons why exercise plays such an important role in her life.
I loved Kirsty's authenticity and honesty and know you'll love getting to know the real her.

My fabulous guest in this episode is beauty journalist and editor Rosie Green. Rosie thought that she was happily married and life was good when out of the blue her husband left her, leaving her reeling and in shock. She has since gone on a journey which has of course been full of downs and some ups along the way. Rosie made the decision to share what had happened in the column she writes for Red Magazine and has helped guide countless women who are going through the same as she is.
In this episode we hear Rosie's story, always punctuated with her wicked sense of humour and Rosie shares how at her lowest moments, beauty helped her through and gave her a feeling of empowerment.

In this episode of My Beauty Habits, I'm joined by Skin Positivity Campaigner Lex Gillies. After uploading a photo of her rosacea to Instagram, Lex was shocked to be informed that it had been taken down because it was "undesirable". She shared her story with her followers, it went viral and to cut a long story short, she managed to get Instagram to change its policies on skin conditions.
During the episode we hear Lex's story, she gives advice for anyone suffering with sensitive skin or a lack of confidence and shares her beauty and wellbeing routines and the products that she adores.
This is a lovely, honest chat with a brilliant and brave woman who is changing the conversation about what defines beauty.

In this episode the brilliant Esther Coren returns for a lockdown special. We chat about how we're surviving, what the kids are up to, what we do when we get a second alone, handling our worries, beauty and wellbeing and Esther gives some very handy advice.
As ever it's a total joy to chat to Esther and catch up on all the gossip xx

In this special extra episode, Alex Steinherr returns to the podcast to chat about her experience of lockdown and how she's getting through it.
She talks through the challenges and how she's overcoming them and as ever is brilliantly candid. I think you'll find this episode really relatable and Alex has some great advice too!

I thought we could all do with a bit of a lift and there was only one person to call...the ray of sunshine that is Jules Von Hep.
In this episode Jules talks through the little things that he does to keep happy and smiling during lockdown. He has some lovely tips and I left the recording with a big smile on my face and hope that he does the same for you.
I also read out some of the wonderful shoutouts you've been doing for NHS workers and mention some of the beauty brands that are doing amazing things at the moment.
If you fancy lots more Jules in your life make sure you follow him on Insta...@Julesvonhep.

In episode three of My Beauty Habits I welcome back one of the podcast's best friends, Dr Sam Bunting.
Sam and I usually chat about skincare trends and hints and tips, but this time we get to know Sam herself a bit more intimately. She chats through how she looks after her mental health, her daily routine and the make-up products that she is utterly loyal to.

It was love at first sight when I met Philip B. The man is practically royalty in Hollywood and if you can think of a megastar he has probably run his fingers through their hair.
Philip knows (and loves) hair at a deeper and more profound level than anyone I've ever met. His knowledge of hair and the scalp is unsurpassed as you'll find out during this episode.
Get ready to find out about the importance of PH, all about sebum and the hair-raising world of follicle erections.
Later on I chat a bit about my experience of Exuviance Skincare (as recommended by Pamela Marshall in last week's episode) and my new trick for glowing, illuminous looking skin.

This incredibly informative episode sees Victoria Health's brilliant pharmacist Shabir Daya return to Outspoken Beauty to talk through which supplements we should be taking during each decade of our lives.
From the supplements that we should all take whatever our age to those that help with acne, mood, PMS, pregnancy, menopause, bone health and everything in between, Shabir has it covered.
What I love about Shabir is that he is well informed, balanced and always looks at the whole picture. He is a man that I trust and have sought advice from a number of times in the past.
I have written a list of every supplement mentioned according to decade in the show notes on outspokenbeauty.co.uk.
Enjoy xx
