Are the products you use at home helping your skin treatments or working against them?

Skin needling might sound a little scary, but it’s actually one of Michal’s favourite treatments.In this episode, Michal explains why she loves skin needling and what makes it different from treatments that rely mainly on products. Skin needling works by creating tiny micro injuries in the skin, which triggers the skin’s natural healing process.Michal also talks about why she is careful about what is used during skin needling, what happens to the skin after treatment, and why it’s important to let your skin do its job rather than trying to stop the healing process.If you’ve ever wondered what skin needling actually does and why it can be such a powerful treatment, have a listen.🎙️ Beauty Bites Unfiltered📍 Beauty & Brow, Penrith NSW

Why does the beauty industry always seem to find something new that we need to change?

In this episode of Beauty Bites Unfiltered, Michal Gabriel talks about beauty trends, perfection and the constant pressure to change the way we look.

From thin brows to big lips, cat eyes, contouring and the latest beauty trends, Michal asks a simple question: Who decided what is beautiful?

She also talks about how trends can create new insecurities and why it is worth questioning whether we actually want to change something or whether we have simply been told that we should.

After more than 25 years in the beauty industry, Michal shares her thoughts on why different features are not flaws and why you do not need to be fixed.

You get to decide what beauty means to you.
