The Myths of the Skin with Emma Sgourakis

Skincare has to be one of the biggest industries, turning over multi millions, billions, trillions of dollars per year.  I would also say that it is one of the industries that is full of the most BS and preys on the vulnerabilities of both women and men and often I find clients are doing more harm than good with their skincare regimen.  Be it an aging issue, or a condition like eczema, rosacea, melasma, pigmentation and the like.  To me the skin is one of the biggest messengers in our body.  And remember, The Body Never Lies



Today, my guest is nutritionist and business woman, Emma Sgourakis (mailto:[email protected]) who owns Saturee with Kitty Blomfield.  In the wake of Saturee launching their new skincare line I really wanted to put her in the hot seat and ask her all about the skin from a nutritionist’s perspective, but also from someone who has spent the last three years researching and developing a product in the midst of an industry praying on our vulnerability of what’s happening to our face.  Today, we’re going to talk today about how the Body Never Lies about what’s going on with our skin.



In this episode we talk about:




• Acne


• Eczema
