Skincare trends I actually use & why they work

Not every skincare trend is worth your time - but some are.
In this episode, Amelia shares the practices I actually use in my own routine and within my skin clinic, and why they support real, long-term skin function. From lymphatic flow, tension release and circulation to gut health and nervous system support, this is about working with your skin, not against it.

The Power of Buccal Face Massage – with Isabella Loneragan

In this episode of the Fresh Face Skin podcast, Amelia sits down with renowned facialist Isabella Loneragan to explore the powerful role of touch in skin health.
As the Fresh Face Skin therapist team prepares to train with Isabella in this precise, results-driven holistic technique, this conversation dives deep into why buccal massage is far more than a facial treatment.
You’ll hear why “excellent touch is intentional touch” - and how understanding anatomy, tension patterns, fascia and lymph movement allows therapists to work with the face in a way that releases both physical and emotional tension.
Isabella shares insights from decades of experience in dermatology and skin therapy, explaining why hands-on treatments can often deliver powerful results by supporting circulation, fascia release, nervous system regulation and skin vitality.
We also explore the deeper philosophy behind holistic skin work - the idea that our tissues carry our issues, and that the right touch can help release the stress and tension we unknowingly hold in the face.
For the Fresh Face Skin community, this episode is also a reminder that skin is a complex organ that reflects internal and external influences. True, lasting results come from consistency, patience and working with the skin over time.
Inside this episode we discuss:
• Why intentional touch matters in facial therapy• The role of fascia, circulation and lymph in healthy skin• How massage may support the ageing process• The connection between nervous system regulation and skin results• Why experience, environment and therapist connection matter just as much as treatment technique
This conversation offers a deeper look into the philosophy that guides the Fresh Face Skin approach - skin care that supports the whole person, not just the surface.
Our therapist team at Fresh Face Skin salon - based in Melbourne, will be training with Isabella this week, and we cannot wait to introduce this beautiful treatment to the Fresh Face Skin community very soon.

Truth behind the label

In this episode of the Fresh Face Skin Podcast, Amelia unpacks a topic that explains so much about why skincare products feel the same across brands and why some genuinely change the skin long-term while others don’t.
White label vs Custom formulated products.
This episode was inspired by the development of Fresh Face Skin’s new night cream, NightShield, and the care, time and intention that went into creating it from the ground up.Amelia breaks down what white labelling really means, why it’s so common in the industry, and how it differs from true custom formulation - where every ingredient, percentage, delivery system and preservative choice is made with intention.
You’ll hear why Fresh Face Skin has chosen the slower, more complex path of formulating every product from scratch, how ingredient quality and concentration impact real skin outcomes, and why barrier-first formulation is non-negotiable for long-term skin health.
This episode is for anyone who:
Wants to understand what’s actually behind their skincare labels
Has sensitive, reactive or compromised skin
Is curious why some products deliver lasting results - and others don’t
Values education, transparency and intention over marketing claims
If you’ve ever wondered what truly sets skincare brands apart, this conversation will give you clarity and a deeper appreciation for intentional formulation.

Menopause Uncovered - with special guest Elle Wilson

Description: Menopause is often spoken about in whispers - but it deserves a voice. In this episode, Amelia sits down with her mentor, Elle Wilson, for an honest, empowering conversation about what it really means to move through menopause.
Elle shares her personal journey, the physical and emotional shifts, and how she reframed menopause from something to fear into a powerful life transition. Together, they explore the realities of symptoms, the impact on identity and relationships, and the often-controversial topic of Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) versus holistic supports.
Listeners will walk away with practical tips to thrive - from lifestyle habits and mindset shifts to skin health essentials - plus the reassurance that menopause is not the end of vitality, but the beginning of a new way of living.
