In this episode of Skin Deep, I sit down with Mr Paul Naude, Head of Regulatory Affairs and Quality Management at Advanced Nutrition Programme, to celebrate the launch of their newest innovation,  Skin Integrate 28. Seven years in the making and backed by 46 clinical studies, this is not just another gut health powder. Skin Integrate 28 is a prebiotic-rich, science-led formulation designed to nourish your gut microbiome — the invisible ecosystem that holds the key to so much of our health, including the skin. Formulated with 23 plant fibres and polyphenols, three amino acids, zinc, and vitamin C, it’s a powerhouse blend created to: ▪️ Encourage digestive regularity ▪️ Support skin clarity and reduce redness ▪️ Strengthen the gut-skin axis ▪️ Elevate energy, sleep, and overall resilience This episode explores the rising trend of nutrition powders, what sets Skin Integrate 28 apart, and why feeding the microbiome is the first and most vital step in supporting skin from within. If you’re curious about gut health, skin inflammation, or simply want to feel better from the inside out , this is the episode for you.

Today, I am joined by my sister-in-law and local Fine Gael candidate, Sharon Tolan, in the run-up to our local elections. Although I am not politically minded, every day, I am in awe of the passion and energy this lady has in pursuing the greater good of the local community. Only this morning, I enjoyed a 10km walk with her on a beautiful beach devoid of cars because she was brave enough to campaign for their removal from our beaches. We also chat about her and my brother's relationship, one of my favourite stories and one I often refer to in the treatment room, as well as Skin and skincare and life for a woman in politics.

Probably the most misunderstood molecule in skincare, Vitamin A is as vital for healthy skin as oxygen is for life. It is the chief instigator of all events within the skin's cellular matrix, including hyaluronic acid and collagen synthesis. And the greatest myth, in my opinion, is that the more irritating the form is, the better the results. The skin is an organ; just like any organ, if you continuously stress it by using harsh and irritating ingredients, it will become compromised, inflamed and uncomfortable. If you are passionate about skin and skin health, then today's episode of Skin Deep is essential listening.

I remember the day I looked in the mirror, and it dawned on me that I had been living a lie. I had lived all my life thinking I had my mum's eyes. An eye, I can assure you, that would never require a Blepharoplasty. That day, I realised I had inherited my dad's eyes. It's funny how I loved my mum's brown eyes because they reminded me of her; I never had the same warm feeling when it came to my dad's heavy eyelid. Lol. I decided at that moment that I would have a blepharoplasty at some stage in the future, only considering it again once I was invited to London to interview the recently appointed medical director of Environ Skincare, Dr Matthias Aust. After a few glasses of Rioja in Claridges, I felt ready to ask Dr Aust if he would be so kind as to perform the procedure. And here I am. 14 days post-surgery, ready to give you all the details. I want to thank the amazing Dr Matthias Aust for his professionalism and patience. He made the whole procedure a very positive experience and was constantly on hand to evaluate and reassure when required. You will find Dr Aust and his team here: https://www.instagram.com/aust_aesthetik/ Thank you to Lusso Tan for making this possible. Shop 20% off using my code SKINDEEP20 at LussoTan.com.

Our police force is in crisis, and our criminal justice system has effectively collapsed. The Garda Representative Association has started its protest against roster changes due to kick in next month. This action saw Garda refusing voluntary overtime. Our Garda are over stressed , over worked , overwhelmed and under resourced . Little wonder we are loosing them at a greater rate than recruiting them . I couldn't have timed my conversation with Laura Young any better. Laura was a member of An Garda Síochána for 14 years before the immense stress took over, forcing her to give up on a career she had put so much time into building. I wanted to put this episode out there to raise awareness of the struggles within the force. The tightening of purse strings has impacted those who dedicate their career to protecting us; they have never been under as much pressure or in as much danger.
