Can you really drink your way to better skin?

Collagen supplements have become a huge part of the beauty and wellness market, but with so many drinks, powders, tablets and capsules available, it can be difficult to know what actually works and what’s simply clever marketing.

In this episode of Skincare & Beyond, we’re getting beyond the hype with Alison Leeming, Skinade Partnership Manager, to explore what really happens to collagen once we consume it and what to look for when choosing a collagen supplement.

We talk about digestion and absorption, liquid collagen versus powders and capsules, how long you might realistically need to take collagen before seeing results, safety, and some of the claims consumers should question before buying.

Alison also shares more about her 26 years of experience working in the beauty and aesthetics industry and her 12 years with Skinade.

Tune in as we unpack the science, the marketing and what you really need to know about collagen from within.

From retinol and peptides to collagen supplements, anti-ageing advice has never been more overwhelming, so which ingredients actually work?

In this episode of Skincare & Beyond, host Jess Oram is joined by Seth Catalano, Head of Education at Caudalie, to explore one of skincare's most celebrated natural ingredients: resveratrol. Seth explains what resveratrol actually is, why it's found in grapevines, and how it compares to other well-known actives like vitamin C, niacinamide, retinol and peptides.

We dig into what's really happening inside our skin as we age, the external factors that accelerate the process, and how Caudalie's Resveratrol-Lift collection combines resveratrol with vegan collagen and hyaluronic acid to support firmer, healthier-looking skin. Seth also busts some common anti-ageing myths — including whether natural skincare is less effective than synthetic, whether expensive products always perform better, and whether there's a "right age" to start an anti-ageing routine.

Whether you're just beginning to explore healthy ageing or want to separate the science from the skincare hype, this episode breaks down what's worth paying attention to and what isn't.

Hair loss is often talked about as one single issue, but the causes, emotions, and solutions look completely different depending on your age and life stage.

In this episode of Skincare & Beyond, host Jess Oram is joined by Sofia Baig, Trichologist, Hair Health Expert and Monpure ambassador, to unpack why hair changes happen at every stage of life. From shedding in your teens and the impact of heat styling and scalp trends, to postpartum hair loss, chronic stress and burnout in your 20s and 30s, through to the hormonal shifts of perimenopause and menopause in your 40s and 50s - Sofia breaks down what's considered normal, when it's worth seeking professional advice, and what realistic support actually looks like.

We also dig into the emotional side of hair loss, the role of nutrition and deficiencies, and Sofia's top Monpure picks for supporting scalp health at every age.

Whether your hair has changed recently or you're just curious about what's coming next, this episode will help you understand the connection between your hair, your hormones, and your overall wellbeing.
