Mind Your Skin with Poppy Jamie

In today's show, we are talking about how dancing can lift our mood, reduce our stress levels and improve our skin. So whether you are a dancing queen at weddings or if you daily dance around your kitchen, I wanted to explore the benefits of dancing, and I was so excited to speak with Kristin Sudeikis, who is an artistic director, choreographer, master teacher, dancer, producer and the founder of the epic Forward Space Dance Studio in New York City. Kristin's work has reached thousands around the globe, and she has proved how powerful dance can be, both for the mind, body and skin. The physical movements of dance have been shown to reduce levels of stress, anxiety and depression. Much like aerobic exercise, dance provides relief from stress and tension. So today I am speaking to Kristen about this amazing physical exercise which elevates our dopamine and endorphins to neurotransmitters responsible for feelings of pleasure and happiness, and why we should all be incorporating dance into our schedules every day. Links: Website: http://www.kristinsudeikis.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kristinsudeikisdance/ Discover your own skin wellness ritual at ernolaszlo.com.

I am thrilled to be joined today by Professor Selena Bartlett. Professor Bartlett is a world renowned neuroscientist at the Queensland University of Technology. She is a widely published author and a commentator on addiction, obesity and changing mindset. She is also the host of the brilliant Thriving Minds podcast where she looks at neuroplasticity and how we can take advantage of our brilliant biology to thrive in life when we are faced with adversity. As we all know, stress can affect us both mentally and physically but can especially affect our skin. I was researching the impact of cold water therapy when I stumbled across Professor Bartlett’s article on cold showers and became so inspired to try it. While at first it’s a shock to the system, I felt so empowered once I did it. I wanted to speak to Professor Bartlett today to discuss the benefits cold water exposure can have on both our mind and skin. Find Professor Selena Bartlett:Website: https://www.profselenabartlett.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/prof_selena_bartlett/ Discover your own skin wellness ritual at ernolaszlo.com.

Many of us will be feeling challenged and stressed right now, but one of the easiest ways to reduce stress is by getting out into nature. In today’s episode, I am delighted to be talking to Florence Williams, who is a journalist, bestselling author, podcaster and a contributing editor for Outside magazine. Her book, The Nature Fix, was an Audible bestseller and was named a top summer read by JP Morgan. I’m excited to speak to Florence today about why nature is so important for managing our stress better, what actually happens to our brain when we are outdoors and if there is a connection between spending time in nature and the quality of our skin. Find Florence Williams: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/florence999/?hl=enWebsite: http://www.florencewilliams.com/Discover your own skin wellness ritual at ernolaszlo.com.

In this episode, we are diving into Dr Gail Saltz's thoughts on how seasonal change affects our stress levels and therefore our skin. Seasonal stress is a topic which is very under-discussed and sometimes we don’t quite understand why it’s happening to us or how it indirectly impacts our skin.  Today, we will be discussing how the change in seasons affects how we feel. I ask Dr Gail whether SAD lights really work, whether underexposure to sunlight makes us less resilient to stress and why spending time outside is good for both our mental health and skin health.Find Dr Gail Saltz: Website: https://drgailsaltz.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drgailsaltz/?hl=enDiscover your own skin wellness ritual at ernolaszlo.com.

Dr Ellen is a board certified psychiatrist, acupuncturist, yoga teacher and author of the book, The Anatomy of Anxiety. She takes a functional medicine approach to mental health and works to uncover the root of the problem.

Today I am very excited to be talking to Chris Luckham, the education specialist at FOREO, the Swedish brand known for producing powerhouse skincare gadgets, to talk about all things skin and tech. The road towards embracing skin tech has been a rocky one and a lot of us have questioned whether at home devices can really match up to an in real life experience. But steady efforts in the tech arena have now provided tools that are intuitive and weave seamlessly into our lifestyles - all without having to leave our homes. In this episode, Chris explains what skin care devices will enhance your skincare routine, why the results are much more effective and why it's equally as important for both the mind and skin to slow down and make more time for self-care.Find more information on FOREO: Instagram: @foreo_officialWebsite: https://www.foreo.com/technologyDiscover your own skin wellness ritual at ernolaszlo.com.

I am thrilled to be joined today by a fabulous new voice in skincare, Alicia Lartey, who is on a mission to bring impartial skin care advice, knowledge and understanding to a new generation. The scientist and aesthetician has carved a niche for herself on Instagram as one of beauty's most personable, straightforward and knowledgeable skincare experts.  Today I am speaking to Alicia about the relationship between skin and shame. Shame is a negative emotion that has been shown to cause psychosocial distress in patients with various skin disorders. Alicia explains that society should be blamed for creating this idea of ‘normal skin’ and encourages us to take steps to feel empowered even when we have skin imperfections. Alicia’s outlook on skin is refreshing to say the least and I can’t wait for you all to hear this episode!Find more information on Alicia Lartey: Instagram: @alicia.larteyTikTok: @alicia.larteySchedule an appointment: https://saintofcells.as.me/schedule.php Discover your own skin wellness ritual at ernolaszlo.com.

On today’s episode we are diving into the science and truth behind topical skin disorder. In this episode I'm speaking to Gina Marí who is a skincare expert with a unique approach to skin renewal and preservation. At the forefront of the ever-growing and evolving world of skincare, science and technology, she was named “Top Celebrity Facialist in Los Angeles” by Allure Magazine and specializes in leaving her clients with radiant, flawless and healthy skin.  Topical skin disorders have a huge psychological effect on the person experiencing them and psychological factors can often influence the severity of the disorder. This delicate connection affects many people and studies have shown that rosacea affects 16 million Americans and 85 percent of people between the ages of 12 and 24 experience at least minor acne. Given the growing problem and arguably significant lack of awareness and conversation about this, I am honoured to be speaking to Gina Mari to find out how we should be approaching our topical skin disorders in a more mindful way.Find more information on Gina Mari: Website: https://www.ginamari.com/ Instagram: @ginamariskincareDiscover your own skin wellness ritual at ernolaszlo.com.

It’s estimated that over 90% of people who have a period experience both physical and mental symptoms throughout their cycle such as anxiety, stress, fatigue as well as changes to the skin. Today I am speaking to the very knowledgeable Dr Hadley King, a highly sought after dermatologist in New York City who has won numerous awards. She specialises in medical and cosmetic dermatology and is also a clinical instructor of dermatology at the Weill Medical College of Cornell University. Even though we may vaguely understand that hormones can affect our skin and mind, I was excited to really get into the details with this world leading expert. In this episode, Dr King answers all my burning questions such as what affects hormones? How do we balance our hormones the best we can and fundamentally how do the mind, skin and hormones interact?Find more information on Dr Hadley King: Website: https://www.drhadleyking.com/Instagram: @drhadleykingYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjdZk-nFMrLg07c_TRcXc6A?view_as=subscriber Discover your own skin wellness ritual at ernolaszlo.com.

For many of us, puberty was probably the first time you noticed how fluctuating hormones affect your skin. Your body is constantly working with the hormones to keep a balance, but if even one hormone is off, you can start experiencing skin issues such as dryness, acne, wrinkles and rosacea. Today, I am speaking to Dr Terry Loong about how we can respect and balance our hormones so that we can develop healthier and happier skin. We discuss how happy hormones can improve our skin, why hormones affect men and women differently and why our skin changes during pregnancy. Dr Terry’s inside-out approach to balancing our hormones is fascinating and teaches us the importance of being in tune with our mind and bodies. Find more information on Dr Terry Loong: Website: https://drterryloong.com/Instagram: @dr_terry_Discover your own skin wellness ritual at ernolaszlo.com.

It’s no secret that as we age, our bodies change and everything starts to look and feel a little different than it used to. As we age our skin begins to lose its elasticity, due to a breakdown in the connective tissue and while aging is inevitable, it’s true that none of us want to look or feel old. Fortunately, we can put measures in place from an early age to keep our brains active and slow down the visible signs of aging.Today I am speaking to the wonderful Dr Camille Howard-Verovic, a physician, New York based dermatologist and the founder of multicultural hair care brand, Girl+Hair. I ask her all about the impact on our skin and mind as we age and whether there are any lifestyle changes we can make to set us up for a healthier, happier and more youthful life. Find more information on Dr Camille Howard-Verovic:Schedule an appointment: https://spruce.care/activedermatologyInstagram: @dermbeautydocDiscover your own skin wellness ritual at ernolaszlo.com.

Today's episode is fascinating because we are exploring the connection between our skin and self-esteem and what factors are influencing this delicate relationship in the modern era. Digitalization is fast, and we're constantly being bombarded with so many interpretations of beauty and a post pandemic world has left self esteem at record lows. I was interested to speak to the incredible New York City board certified dermatologist, Dr. Shari Marchbein, who is also an assistant professor at NYU School of Medicine, to discuss this relationship in greater depth. I quiz her about how technology is affecting our skin and consequently our self-esteem. Dr. Marchbein is a global leader in our field for the treatment of acne and rosacea who has won awards and published multiple articles, I thought she'd be the perfect person to share her perspective of the trends happening and how she looks after the mind and skin of her clientele.Find more information on Dr Shari Marchbein:Website: https://drsharimarchbein.com/Instagram: @drsharimarchbeinDiscover your own skin wellness ritual at ernolaszlo.com.

If you’re one of those people who can’t imagine a day without makeup? I can definitely relate. For many people wearing make up calms them down and the simple act of putting on a bold lipstick may be the first step in doing something that relieves their anxiety. However, make up can sometimes be harmful to your skin’s health and can lead to acne, ageing, oiliness and dryness. Today, I am talking to Dr Heather Woolery-Lloyd, an internationally recognised expert in skin care and the creator of the Specific Beauty skincare line, about the confidence conflict surrounding makeup, some of the unfriendly components in everyday makeup and how this can ultimately lead to skin problems.So whilst make up might be able to soothe an anxious mind, it’s important to love and take care of your skin. And as the world of make up is ever expanding it’s now more important than ever to consider the emotional and psychological impacts of what we are putting on our faces each day.Find more information on Dr Woolery-Lloyd:Website: https://www.drwoolerylloyd.com/Instagram: @drheathermdDiscover your own skin wellness ritual at ernolaszlo.com.

We're back with Season 2! Have you ever wondered how exercise affects your skin? In today’s episode, I will be speaking to Dr Marisa Garshick, a leading dermatologist in New York City, about why breaking a sweat can positively impact your overall health and well-being in many ways. Your skin is affected by so many of your lifestyle habits and choices, including your workouts. And while we know exercising on a regular basis helps your body remain fit and healthy, an added bonus is that it can leave you with that post-workout glow and keep ageing at bay. Trust me, this conversation will have you grabbing your trainers and running out the door before you know it.For more information on Dr Marisa Garshick:Make an appointment: https://www.mdcsnyc.com/provider/marisa-k-garshick-mdInstagram: @drmarisagarshickDiscover your own skin wellness ritual at ernolaszlo.com.

On today’s special bonus episode, I am thrilled to be speaking to Nadine Artemis, creator of Living Libations Skincare and the author of Renegade Beauty: Reveal and Revive Your Natural Radiance, which was named one of “The Top 10 Books on Skin Care” by The Strategist of New York Magazine. In this episode, Nadine advocates for a healthy and happy relationship with the sun and teaches people to be more aware of what chemicals are in their sunscreen, rather than the sun itself. As she explains in this episode, it really is all about finding the perfect balance. For decades we have been shying away from the sun, given its ties to skin cancer and premature aging. But a growing body of scientific research suggests that completely shunning sunlight isn’t such a good idea. Not only does sun elevate mood, improve sleep and promote bone growth, it can also help strengthen the immune system. But before you toss away your sunscreen and hit the rays, it’s important we learn to find the right balance between the healing and beneficial components of the sun and shielding ourselves from too much exposure. Find more information on Nadine:Website: https://livinglibations.com/pages/nadineInstagram: @nadineartemisofficialBook: https://int.livinglibations.com/products/renegade-beautyDiscover your own skin wellness ritual at ernolaszlo.com.

On today’s episode of the Mind Your Skin podcast, I am joined by Dr Sam Bunting who will share the facts behind the sun’s impact on the skin. The skin and sun debate is a big one and while we all know the sun’s rays can be harmful to our skin, many studies have shown that not having enough sun exposure can cause the levels of our happiness hormone to dip and can even result in a bad night’s sleep. Dr Sam Bunting is one of London’s leading skin specialists who has over 20 years in clinical dermatology experience. Following her role as the Global Brand Ambassador for Dolce & Gabbana Skincare in 2015, she launched a YouTube channel which has over 15 million views. She is now the founder of her own skincare line, Dr Sam’s Skincare. Today Dr Sam is going to teach us all about why suncream is a crucial part of your skincare routine and how to strike the balance when it comes to the sun and taking advantage of it’s mood lifting benefits.For more information on Dr Sam Bunting:Website: https://drsambunting.com/Instagram: @drsambuntingYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfGWsprhe5sZSay7LT2RxWw Discover your own skin wellness ritual at ernolaszlo.com.

On today’s episode of the Mind Your Skin podcast, I am joined by Dr Alia Ahmed. Dr Alia is a Consultant Dermatologist who sees and treats adults and children for all skin conditions. Dr Ahmed specialises in the psychological effects of skin disease and the link between skin and stress. She now works in the NHS in Windsor at King Edward VIII Hospital and in London at the Royal London Hospital in Whitechapel. We dedicate this episode to discussing the link between mental health and acne. Anyone who’s ever had a skin issue knows that it’s more than skin deep - serious skin conditions and acne alike can have both mental and emotional effects. Acne can trigger symptoms of depression and anxiety and lead to poor emotional health. Dr Alia is working hard to try and destigmatize a condition that a vast majority of us suffer from at some stage in our life by improving our understanding of acne and the ways in which we can manage it.Find more information on Dr Alia Ahmed: Website: https://thepsychodermatologist.com/Instagram: @the_psychodermatologistDiscover your own skin wellness ritual at ernolaszlo.com.

Dr. Greenberg holds degrees from Northwestern University, Stanford University, and is the Program Chair for the Naturopathic & Integrative Dermatology Series on LearnSkin.com, a program for doctors that discusses evidence-based alternative approaches to treating dermatological conditions. In today’s episode, Dr. Julie Greenberg explains why healing acne starts within. We will discuss how gut health and internal imbalance drive acne and why repairing the gut and developing a healthier diet and lifestyle are key to clearing the skin, for good. So if you’ve suffered with skin problems for months, years or even decades, it might just be your body’s way of telling you there’s a problem inside. This episode is seriously fascinating and just proves why treating the whole person rather than the condition is so much more effective.Find more information on Dr Julie Greenberg:Website: https://rootcausedermatology.com/Instagram: @julieg200Discover your own skin wellness ritual at ernolaszlo.com.
