Hello, I'm Gemma and welcome to another episode of Good Influence.

This is the podcast where each week you and I meet a guest will help us pay attention

to something we should know about as well as answer some of your questions.

This week we're talking about skincare.

Why recommendations are never one size fits all, who we should be getting our information

from, and some inside and knowledge that could help you navigate skincare marketing.

So joining me this week is Caroline Highrends.

Caroline is a legend in the beauty industry, a globally qualified advanced esthetician she's

trained in over a hundred different brands and has also written a book titled Skincare

the Ultimate No Nonsense Guide, giving clear science-backed information to help us all

understand our own varied needs.

With all this training and knowledge Caroline is not afraid to point out misleading or

fear-mongering news stories or marketing, letting us know what skin science and what skin

nonsense.

Don't believe the hype.

Listen to your skin.

If your skin is red raw, just because you're using a product that someone else said was brilliant,

then stop using it.

You know, you don't have to spend a fortune to have good skin and you don't have to use

a lot of product to have good skin.

So I mean, as we started off and we're kind of talking a little bit before we even started

recording about skincare is something that I get asked about a lot.
