Caggie Dunlop: Big Life Changes, Skincare and Spirituality
In this episode of Outspoken Beauty I'm joined by Caggie Dunlop who you may remember from her Made In Chelsea days.When I met Caggie we hit it off instantly and the resulting conversation is very open, quite raw in places and snort enducingly funny (well I think so anyway).Join me and Caggie as we talk major life changes, sage burning, skincare, how people perceive you and much more. I tell a story involving my Mum and a maid's outfit (yes it is as bad as it sounds but not quite as dodgy) and Caggie chats about her new relationship. I have a feeling you're going to really enjoy this one.Later on in the episode I share the results of my natural deoderant challenge. (I spent a hot, busy day wearing one natural deoderant under one arm and another under the other...all will be revealed! I also share my new skincare routine now that my skin is feeling less sensitive.If you like what you hear then as ever it would be amazing if you can rate the pod in iTunes. Cher will be back for our mid-week episode xx

Jodie Comer's Facialist Jasmina Vico and Camille Knowles the Eczema Warrior
In this episode I meet two incredibly strong women with very different stories to tell.Jasmina Vico is the super talented facialist who helps Killing Eve's Jodie Comer get her incredible glow. What I love about Jasmina is that she doesn't suffer fools gladly and does skin very much HER way. Her knowledge is deep and her commitment to educating herself about the skin and health in general is like nothing I've ever come across. I like to think of Jasmina as a much needed rebel in a world where many skin experts follow a similar set of rules.Check out Jasmina's website jasminavico.com for more. (She'll give you the best and most fascinating facial of you life...I've experienced it and it was like the very best sort of witchcraft).Later in the episode I meet the totally inspiring Camille Knowles whose eczema journey took her from rock bottom to becoming an "eczema warrior" where she empowers other people to take control and get better both physically and emotionally. You can join her incredibly inspiring Instagram group @camilleknowles and make sure you check out her book The Beauty of Eczema if you or someone else suffers from a skin condition and needs empowering.Towards the end of the episode I review some great products for sensitive skin and a truly incredible lipstick you can grab for a tenner in Boots.

Toff on Skin Confidence and Being a Skindividual - Dermalogica X Outspoken Beauty Special
In this special bonus episode with Dermalogica, the lovely Georgia Toffolo joins me almost a year after our first episode to talk about how her journey to skin confidence is going.If you heard our first episode together, Toff talked openly about how her acne has not only been physically painful but has also had an effect on her mental health. Slowly though she has come to terms with it and when we last spoke, she had gone makeup free on national TV which was a huge challenge for her at the time.She's in an amazing place now and her confidence levels have gone through the roof. She is one of the faces of a groundbreaking new Dermalogica campaign where she goes totally makeup free once again and talks openly and honestly about her journey to feeling happy in her skin.In this episode we talk about why the Dermalogica Campaign is so special and groundbreaking, how Toff now feels happy to show people her acne scars and why healthy, glowy skin with texture is something we should all embrace. Forget flawless and so called perfect skin....now it's all about loving the skin you're in and being a true Skindividual!
