  The 3 Rules Every Skincare Product Should Pass

  Aug 12, 202659 minS3

  She left Vietnam on a fishing boat with nothing. Twelve years later, she was drowning in shame over skin she couldn't fix. Today, Michelle Doan runs Emani, a clean beauty brand used in Hollywood and loved by women worldwide. In this episode of Skin Talks, Michelle sits down with Beate and Natascha to share the raw story behind the products: severe cystic acne, painful facials, a single mom starting a company mid-divorce, and the mindset shift that changed everything. This is a conversation about skin, but really it's about confidence, resilience, and starting over. We get into clean beauty (and what "clean" actually means), the science of non-comedogenic makeup, the skin microbiome, menopause and aging skin, and why self-acceptance is the one thing that doesn't come in a bottle. ️ Guests: Michelle Doan: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michelle-doan-emani/ Book a virtual consultation with Boutique Skin Envie: https://bskinenvie.ca/ ️ Use code SKINTALKS15 for 15% off your first order Connect With Us: Hosts: Beate Instagram → @beatevonhuene Natascha Instagram → @nataschaschillinger Our Website: https://bskinenvie.ca/ Stay Connected: New episodes every Wednesday Instagram → @skintalkspod 00:00 Intro 01:55 Escaping Vietnam 04:09 Canadian roots & learning resilience 06:30 15 to 27: living in shame 09:27 The aesthetician who changed everything 13:02 Shopping with a comedone list 17:27 What Emani actually stands for 19:29 What "clean beauty" really means 25:11 Building the foundation line 33:00 The 3 P's of skincare 42:40 Menopause & aging skin 47:38 Sleep, microbiome & the collagen serum 55:09 Rapid-fire questions

  New Mom Vs. The Internet

  Aug 5, 202646 minS3

  The second you have a baby, the whole world has an opinion. Your feed fills up with people telling you what your baby should be doing every week; how to feed, sleep, soothe, and train. Natascha threw the whole playbook out. She calls it "raw dogging motherhood": no schedules, no sleep consultants, no experts in her ear. Just instinct. In this episode of Skin Talks, Beate and Natascha do a six-month check-in on baby Maximilian and get into the controversial stuff: co-sleeping, why she deleted her parenting apps, the industry quietly selling moms guilt, and the bigger truth that our culture doesn't actually support families. This isn't a rule book. It's one mom's honest take on tuning out the noise and trusting herself. Take what helps, leave the rest.

  What Your Skin Actually Needs

  Jul 29, 202658 minS3

  We sat down with Dr. Mireille Vega, PhD biochemist, former biotech executive, founder of VGAM and creator of Skin Science 3.0, and she said something that stopped us cold: your skin would probably say "stop. Leave me alone." In this episode, Dr. Mimi V breaks down why everything you've been told about cleansing, exfoliating, and treating your skin is working against you. She explains the skin microbiome in plain language, why washing more actually makes acne worse, what stress does to your hormones (and then to your skin), and why vitamin C and collagen supplements are mostly a waste of money. This is one of the most science-backed and genuinely surprising episodes we've done. ️ Guests: Mireille Vega: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mireillevega/ Book a virtual consultation with Boutique Skin Envie: https://bskinenvie.ca/ ️ Use code SKINTALKS15 for 15% off your first order Connect With Us: Hosts: Beate Instagram → @beatevonhuene Natascha Instagram → @nataschaschillinger Our Website: https://bskinenvie.ca/ Stay Connected: New episodes every Wednesday Instagram → @skintalkspod 00:00 Intro 01:11 Who is Dr. Mireille Vega? 06:45 What is Skin Science 3.0? 12:35 Why the skin microbiome is only now being talked about 13:42 More bacteria = less acne 17:21 What is the microbiome, really? 24:46 How stress rewires your skin 27:33 What healthy aging actually looks like 37:07 The good, the bad, and the wasteful ingredients 43:26 Why vitamin C and collagen disappoint 51:50 The 35-food rule for skin health 55:17 Rapid fire

  You're Destroying Your Nails And Don't Even Know It

  Jul 22, 202649 minS3

  Most people obsess over their faces and completely forget about their hands, nails, and feet, until summer hits. In this solo episode, Beate shares the origin story most people don't know: before the clinic, before Boutique Skin Envie, her career started in Germany training nail and foot technicians across North America with the iconic brand Alessandro. From there, we get into the real stuff: what your nails actually say about your health, why "letting your nails breathe" is a myth, how to properly cut and file without damaging your nail, and the honest truth about gel polish, acrylics, and nail damage. We also break down foot care for summer: cracked heels, calluses, nail fungus, sweaty feet, and walk you through the exact products we carry on Boutique Skin Envie from Foot Logics, Gel Care, and Manicurist Paris. This episode is equal parts origin story and practical summer guide.

  What Rich Women Secretly Buy

  Jul 15, 202651 minS3

  After 15 years and 900+ studies with over 30,000 affluent women, Malinda Sanna knows what luxury beauty buyers actually buy, not what brands think they buy. In this episode of Skin Talks, hosts Beate and Natascha sit down with the founder of Look Look, the market research firm behind private communities like the Beautyverse and Luxuryverse, with clients including Shiseido, Estée Lauder, LVMH, and Tiffany. Malinda pulls back the curtain on the psychology of luxury spending: why ingredients now beat logos and packaging, how word-of-mouth quietly overtook social media influencers, why legacy luxury houses are struggling against nimble K-beauty and clinical brands, and where luxury is heading next. She shares the one thing 30,000 women secretly want that no brand is selling, the affordable product she's obsessed with, and the beauty trend she predicts will look absurd within a decade. If you care about skincare ingredients, beauty trends, luxury spending, and the future of health and wellness, this conversation goes far deeper than skin. 🎙️ Guests: Malinda Sanna: https://www.instagram.com/malindasanna/ 💻 Book a virtual consultation with Boutique Skin Envie: https://bskinenvie.ca/ 🛍️ Use code SKINTALKS15 for 15% off your first order Connect With Us: Hosts: Beate Instagram → @beatevonhuene Natascha Instagram → @nataschaschillinger Our Website: 🌐 https://bskinenvie.ca/ Stay Connected: New episodes every Wednesday 📱 Instagram → @skintalkspod 00:00 – Intro 01:07 – Meet Malinda Sanna 02:03 – The Barney's strategy 05:39 – Why she banned the word "consumer" and calls women "jewels" 09:41 – What luxury brands still get wrong about their buyers 11:50 – Why ingredients now beat logos and packaging 14:02 – Word-of-mouth is beating the influencers 17:58 – What niche & K-beauty brands offer that legacy houses don't 25:01 – Gen Z vs. Boomers: how each generation buys luxury 27:15 – Quiet luxury, overconsumption & the second-hand boom 31:42 – How AI is changing beauty research 46:52 – Rapid fire: the Kardashian prediction
