Welcome to the first official episode of Your Glow Code and the kickoff of Season 2! Today in this episode of Your Glow Code, we dive deep into the world of corneotherapy with leading skin expert Robyn McAlpine. Robyn breaks down why protecting your skin barrier is the key to long-term skin health and how many popular skincare trends might be doing more harm than good. She shares the science behind corneotherapy—an approach that prioritizes skin barrier preservation over aggressive treatments. From personalized skincare to the impact of stress on skin health, Robyn emphasizes the importance of a holistic, inside-out approach. She also debunks common skincare myths, explaining why treatments like dermaplaning and micellar water might not be the miracle solutions they seem. We also explore corneotherapeutic treatments, including Chi Beauty and skin needling, designed to work with the skin’s natural processes rather than against them. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by skincare advice, this episode is a must-listen! Key Takeaways: ✨ Corneotherapy focuses on preserving and strengthening the skin’s natural barrier. ✨ A healthy skin barrier prevents irritation, inflammation, and premature aging. ✨ Personalized skincare and thorough consultations are essential for real skin transformation. ✨ Stress significantly impacts skin health—mind, body, and skin are deeply connected. ✨ Many mainstream skincare trends, like dermaplaning and micellar water, may be harming your skin. ✨ Holistic skincare considers internal and external factors, not just topical treatments. ✨ Corneotherapeutic treatments, like Qi Beauty and skin needling, work with the skin to support long-term health. If you're ready to rethink your skincare routine and embrace a healthier, barrier-first approach, this episode is for you! 🔗 Connect with Robyn McAlpine: https://www.robynmcalpine.com/ https://www.instagram.com/expert_skin_therapist/reels/ 🎧 Thanks so much for listening, please subscribe and follow Your Glow Code for more health, skin, and wellness insights https://www.instagram.com/yourglowcode_/ Its Your Glow, Your Way x…

At the heart of having good skin, is having a sense of self. The true person underneath the skin. This is the confidence, the air of being at peace, that sense of wholeness and sureness that surrounds a person that no matter what their actual skin looked like, you can't take your eyes off of them. Knowing yourself can often be hard in society. And we often turn to astrology and readings to "understand" ourselves and our behaviours more, and why we dont always "fit." Incoming, the latest discovery to me, but not this world, Human Design. And when I had my own personal reading, I finally felt understood - both in where I fit, but also how I was and why I am , the way I am! My reading was with Billie, and I am delighted to have her on the podcast this week to share all of her insights and knowledge and the basic types, but also her own journey of fitting in to her own skin. Billie Routledge is a Human Design expert and intuitive guide passionate about helping women unlock their full potential. After an illustrious career in the visual arts and media, Billie found herself at a crossroads. "Juggling two young kids and my own design business, I lost my way. I lost who I was, what I was passionate about and what excited me. All that was left was confusion and frustration. I needed guidance," Billie recalls. After having her own Human Design reading, something awakened within her. "Human Design allowed me to slowly piece together my unique puzzle to discover my true nature," Billie says. "It showed me who I was born to be before I became a daughter, a sister, a friend, a colleague, a wife and now a mum." Inspired by the changes she saw in her life, Billie began studying to become a Human Design guide. "Living your unique design helps you be in the world without resistance, to feel safe to say 'yes' or 'no' and to live a life that's true to you without hesitation," she says. Now, Billie helps clients all over the world get "unstuck." Her passion is to serve others, especially women at their crossroads, and help them connect with their soul purpose. With years of study and practice, Billie offers personalised readings that provide guidance, support, and insights based on your unique energetic blueprint. By helping you discover your energy type and strategy, Billie empowers you to make better decisions, find your true calling, and improve your relationships. Whether you're a Manifestor, Generator, Projector, Reflector, or Manifesting Generator, Billie is committed to creating a safe and supportive space where everyone can explore and embrace their true selves.

Today we talk with a beautiful, strong and amazing young woman who is completely redefining our beauty standards. You’ve likely seen her on instagram @briannacreenaune as successful model she is covered in burn scars, and she owns it! Her self acceptance and confidence glows through and you can’t not be inspired by her. It is no secret that Skinfully You’s philosophy is about more than just the basics of skin. Your skin is what we present to the world and it is who we are. We decorate it, shine through it, express through it and individualise it in our own unique way. Bri is our first guest to help show us this. It was a long road to a place of self acceptance though, and a terrifying experience that would scar most in more way than just the physical. But Brianna has battled through and found herself and self expression through her scars. While most teenagers are worrying about social groups, parties and perhaps school, Bri had to re-learn the most basics of living, basic tasks, and coming to terms with her new physical image. Bri takes us through her journey, how therapy and photographing herself helped so much, and how at such a young age she understood that if she didn’t release the emotional pain inside, it would manifest into something much darker. Bri teaches us that anything is possible! And that who we are inside and owning who we are is the most beautiful thing we can do. Our skin can be anything, but you can make it glow and beautiful by embracing who you really are. She openly admits it is not an easy thing and as we all know, it is a continuous journey and everyday we must choose ourselves. Follow her journey and watch her own mini series on instagram @briannacreenaune And you can find more episodes here by giving us a follow on your favourite podcast platform, leave us a review and you can get more insights and skin fun with us at @skinfully_you on instagram and TikTok!
