  • Mel C's Facialist Reveals Why Your Hormones Are Secretly Sabotaging Your Skin (And What Actually Works)
    Jul 7 2025

    Ready to crack the code on why your skin acts up at the worst possible times? It's all about your hormones! In this fascinating episode of The Formula, we're diving deep into the connection between your hormones and your skin with celebrity facialist Ingrid Seaburn. After 15 years transforming A-list faces in Hollywood (including Mel C, Jackie O, and Delta Goodrem), Ingrid is spilling the secrets about why your skin changes during different life stages – and what you can actually do about it.

    If you've ever wondered why you break out when stressed, why pregnancy gives you that glow but also stubborn pigmentation, or why your skin seems to have a mind of its own during perimenopause and postpartum, this conversation will be a game-changer. We're also diving into why some expensive treatments are basically fancy placebos and which ingredients actually deliver on their promises.

    Want more skin-changing revelations? Our episode with gut health guru Carla Oates from The Beauty Chef will completely transform how you think about skincare and gut health- watch the full episode on YouTube here.

Plus, Jane's turning 40 and wondering if she needs to completely overhaul her makeup routine. Don't miss Leigh's crazy find... stick-on toenails from Kmart and Kelly's hack for side sleepers who want heatless curls without the discomfort.
