What does your skin actually need — and what’s just hype?

In this episode, Claire Sanderson sits down with Dr Sophie Shotter, award-winning aesthetic doctor and President of the British College of Aesthetic Medicine, to break down what really works when it comes to skin health.

From your 20s through to your 50s and beyond, Sophie explains how your skin changes, why your 40s can feel like a “cliff edge,” and what you can do to protect it.

They cover:

  • The 4 essential skincare steps everyone needs
  • The ingredients to avoid (even in expensive products)
  • Why your skin barrier might be damaged
  • The truth about Botox, fillers & skin boosters
  • What to ask before choosing a clinic
  • Budget-friendly skincare that actually works

They also discuss the impact of lifestyle factors such as stress, sleep, alcohol and diet, and how these influence not just how your skin looks, but how it functions.

A practical, honest and expert-led conversation about aging well — and looking like the best version of yourself.
