Today, I am joined by Lynsey Bennet, who, with her sisters, Leah and Sarah Bennet, created the Lusso skincare and tanning brand. Lynsey fondly recalls her Mum advising her sisters that once they were armed with red lipstick, they could take on the world, and it was on that basis she created Lusso Tan to empower women of all shapes and sizes to feel more beautiful and confident. Like her tanning product, Lynsey stands out from the crowd with her eagerness to encourage and support women in the beauty and skincare business, as well as being an incredible role model to her twin daughters and extended family. I am so proud to work with Lusso Tan and have them on board as Skin Deep By Corinna Tolan sponsor for another season. Please make Lynsey feel welcome.

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. Thank you so much to the Queens of healthy self-tan, Lusso Tan for bringing you today's episode of Skin Deep and their continuous support. Shop 20% off by using code SKINDEEP20 at Lussotan.com

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. Thank you to our sponsor Lusso tan for brining is todays episode . They also gifted us 30% off their website using code SKINDEEP20.. until 15th October .. so run don’t walk

Almost two years ago I was invited to Lutronics head office in London for a LaseMD treatment. I had been looking into RF microneedling devices as there was a buzz on social media about them but also curious about the 1927 nm Thulium Laser. After three days, I was sold. The results I could see coming and how comfortable and safe the procedure had been were enough for me to want to be the first person in Ireland to bring a Lutronic device to the country. Today, I am joined by the genius behind the devices, CTO James Bartholomeusz. James is an expert in the science and development of lasers for aesthetic technologies. Also, after experiencing hair loss, he has formulated Kerafactor—a hair growth stimulant to be used with LaseMD. He has succeeded in getting clearance for the European market and was eager to share his insights with me regarding RF microneedling a]and how LaseMD is also his favourite of all Lutronic devices. As always, thank our sponsor Lusso Tan for bringing you this episode.

Just four weeks before her Just four weeks before her wedding, 2fm presenter and DWTS champ Lottie Ryan came into my clinic, desperate for me to help where many others had let her down. Her skin had been peeled to the point of collapse, and I promised to build it back up for her. What Lottie didn't know when she left was the little chat I had with her heavenly father, Gerry Ryan, whom I was a big fan of, thanking him for sending her to me and promising him I would fix her. That began a fast-track journey to beautiful, healthy skin for Lottie and a really special relationship for us. It has been a joy watching Lottie accomplish her dreams on the dance floor with Dancing with the Stars as well as Blossom on RTE 2fm and today, making the very courageous move of stepping away from her agent and starting her podcast Jen and Lottie do Parenting. You will find Lottie on her social channels @Lottieryan1, as well as her funny and charming podcast Jen & Lottie Do Parenting Thank you to our sponsor, Lusso Tan, for their continued support, and to you, the listener, thank you for all your fantastic feedback and for spreading the work skin deep xt

My mission has been to educate and empower those who wish to listen to have beautiful, healthy skin for a lifetime.
