Twelve years after opening my facial business in Collingwood, I'm sharing the full story: from a co-op at a spa in grade 11, through dermatology, lasers, and travel, to growing my business from a tiny room in a hair salon into a downtown heritage building. I'm also sharing what's changing now. I'm getting back into the treatment room and bringing everything together under Skin Frequency, with a more personal, consultation-based way of caring for skin.

There's a lot that skincare packaging and marketing can't tell you.

A product can be beautifully branded, use all the right language, and promise clean, natural, effective skincare but it may still be hard to know who created it, what informed the formula, or how connected the founder is to what is inside the bottle.

In this episode, Summer shares what she has learned from working with skin for over 20 years and then stepping into the formulation side of the industry. It is a conversation about the difference between a brand built around an opportunity and one that grows out of real experience, care, and a deeper relationship with the work.

This episode is for anyone who wants to look beyond the surface of skincare and make more informed, choices about the products they use every day.

Our skin evolved alongside sunlight, and that relationship is layered and worth exploring. This episode offers a grounded, holistic look at the sun and the skin.

We talk about what different types of light are doing when they meet the skin UVA, UVB, and red and near-infrared. How morning light shapes your circadian rhythm, your sleep, your mood. How to ease your skin into the season after the winter. How the skin barrier affects how your skin handles the sun. The difference between chemical and mineral sunscreens, and what to look for when choosing a formula.

This short episode is packed with practical takeaways for building a relationship with sunlight as we move into the warmer months.
