Skin Talks

Summer is fun for you and brutal for your skin. Sun, salt, chlorine, sweat, air conditioning, by September your skin feels tight, dull, flaky in some spots, breaking out in others, and the products that worked all summer suddenly sting. In this solo episode, Beate and Natascha break down what actually happened to your skin barrier over the summer and give you the exact plan to rebuild it. Natascha shares what six weeks in Europe, chlorine, salt water, and 42°C in Rome, did to her skin and what she's doing to repair it. Beate explains the barrier as a brick-and-mortar wall, why transepidermal water loss is the reason your products sting, and which evidence-backed repair ingredients actually work. You'll also get the golden rule that saves most people time and money: pick one brand and stick with it. Plus the brands they trust for a compromised barrier, the do's and don'ts that make things worse, and a full two-week repair protocol you can start tonight. Two new brands just landed at Boutique Skin Envie: Phytomer, the house that invented marine skincare, born in Saint-Malo, France, and Trunk from New Zealand, body care as good as your face care and completely free of endocrine disruptors. 💻 Book a virtual consultation with Boutique Skin Envie: https://bskinenvie.ca/ 🛍️ Use code SKINTALKS15 for 15% off your first order Connect With Us: Hosts: Beate Instagram → @beatevonhuene Natascha Instagram → @nataschaschillinger Our Website: 🌐 https://bskinenvie.ca/ Stay Connected: New episodes every Wednesday 📱 Instagram → @skintalkspod 00:00 — Intro 01:15 — Why your skin is waving a white flag by September 01:52 — Two new brands: Phytomer and Trunk 03:06 — Six weeks in Europe: chlorine, salt and 42°C 05:30 — The barrier explained: bricks, mortar and water loss 08:25 — The signs your barrier is in trouble 09:19 — The plan and the repair ingredients that work 16:08 — The golden rule: pick one brand and stick with it 17:48 — The brands we trust for a wrecked barrier 25:51 — Do's, don'ts and the 2-week repair plan

Your face gets the full routine: serums, SPF, the works. Your body? Random drugstore lotion, if that. In this solo episode, Beatea and Natascha (the mother-daughter duo behind Boutique Skin Envie) break down the full summer body survival guide: bumpy arms, cellulite, stretch marks, sweat and self-tanning, no shame, no miracle claims, just what actually works. They cover why body skin ages faster than you think, the real difference between deodorant and antiperspirant, why "no cream erases cellulite" is the truth nobody wants to hear, and how to get a natural-looking tan without ever going in the sun. 💻 Book a virtual consultation with Boutique Skin Envie: https://bskinenvie.ca/ 🛍️ Use code SKINTALKS15 for 15% off your first order Connect With Us: Hosts: Beate Instagram → @beatevonhuene Natascha Instagram → @nataschaschillinger Our Website: 🌐 https://bskinenvie.ca/ Stay Connected: New episodes every Wednesday 📱 Instagram → @skintalkspod 00:00 Intro 03:28 Body SPF: The Most Skipped Product 09:47 Bumpy Arms & Keratosis Pilaris (KP) 14:41 The Truth About Cellulite 22:15 Stretch Marks: Causes & Fixes 30:49 Deodorant, Sweat & the Aluminum Debate 38:55 Self-Tanning Secrets & Product Picks 48:45 Take It or Leave It: Rapid Fire 53:02 Final Tips & Closing Thoughts

The second you have a baby, the whole world has an opinion. Your feed fills up with people telling you what your baby should be doing every week; how to feed, sleep, soothe, and train. Natascha threw the whole playbook out. She calls it "raw dogging motherhood": no schedules, no sleep consultants, no experts in her ear. Just instinct. In this episode of Skin Talks, Beate and Natascha do a six-month check-in on baby Maximilian and get into the controversial stuff: co-sleeping, why she deleted her parenting apps, the industry quietly selling moms guilt, and the bigger truth that our culture doesn't actually support families. This isn't a rule book. It's one mom's honest take on tuning out the noise and trusting herself. Take what helps, leave the rest. 💻 Book a virtual consultation with Boutique Skin Envie: https://bskinenvie.ca/ 🛍️ Use code SKINTALKS15 for 15% off your first order Connect With Us: Hosts: Beate Instagram → @beatevonhuene Natascha Instagram → @nataschaschillinger Our Website: 🌐 https://bskinenvie.ca/ Stay Connected: New episodes every Wednesday 📱 Instagram → @skintalkspod 00:00 Intro 01:24 Six-month check-in on Maximilian 06:43 Balancing a career and a newborn 08:16 What "raw dogging motherhood" means 09:51 Why she started co-sleeping 16:53 The co-sleeping double standard 17:46 Instagram, TikTok & the comparison trap 22:38 The app that made her furious 27:56 Our culture doesn't support moms 33:20 Sleep pressure & feeding on demand 40:51 Screens, nutrition & how she'll parent 44:23 Rapid-fire: advice for new moms

Most people obsess over their faces and completely forget about their hands, nails, and feet, until summer hits. In this solo episode, Beate shares the origin story most people don't know: before the clinic, before Boutique Skin Envie, her career started in Germany training nail and foot technicians across North America with the iconic brand Alessandro. From there, we get into the real stuff: what your nails actually say about your health, why "letting your nails breathe" is a myth, how to properly cut and file without damaging your nail, and the honest truth about gel polish, acrylics, and nail damage. We also break down foot care for summer: cracked heels, calluses, nail fungus, sweaty feet, and walk you through the exact products we carry on Boutique Skin Envie from Foot Logics, Gel Care, and Manicurist Paris. This episode is equal parts origin story and practical summer guide. 💻 Book a virtual consultation with Boutique Skin Envie: https://bskinenvie.ca/ 🛍️ Use code SKINTALKS15 for 15% off your first order Connect With Us: Hosts: Beate Instagram → @beatevonhuene Natascha Instagram → @nataschaschillinger Our Website: 🌐 https://bskinenvie.ca/ Stay Connected: New episodes every Wednesday 📱 Instagram → @skintalkspod 00:00 Intro 01:09 How Beate's career really started 04:47 Training nail techs across North America 10:40 The hand & nail basics everyone gets wrong 19:03 Brands we love 26:17 Do nails really need to breathe? 30:05 Foot care for summer 36:56 Nail fungus: how to spot it, treat it, prevent it 41:47 Take it or leave it 45:09 Simple at-home starter kit
