451: Treating Hyperpigmentation: The do's and don'ts
As a natural part of the aging process, our skin starts to darken, become irregular, and leathery. Hyperpigmentation, a stubborn skin condition that creates dark patches or spots on the skin, leads to uneven skin tone. In this podcast, I talk about the causes and effects of hyperpigmentation, and the amazing benefits of my Botanical Brightener that targets stubborn dark spots. It contains:
Hydroquinone
Glycolic Acid
Kojic Acid
Licorice Extract
Hyaluronic Acid
These ingredients are also paired with my Night Quench Cream for Intensive Recovery. Got a question or something you’d like covered on the podcast? Send me a DM or email info@beautybydrkay.com and I’d be happy to respond!

446: The Life Changing Path of Intermittent Fasting
Hi Beauties!
Remember when breakfast was the most important meal of the day? Or so we thought. In fact, new research shows there may be benefits from skipping your avocado toast in the morning. In this week's Five Minute Friday, I will be discussing the increasingly popular Intermittent Fasting diet; its benefits, and my personal experience. Intermittent fasting has shown effective results for weight loss, benefits include improving insulin resistance, lowering cholesterol, and reducing inflammation. In my experience, I like to have a late dinner around 8 pm and have a low-calorie to a zero-calorie meal in the morning like green juice or black coffee. I 100% stand by adding my popular Simply Inulin powder and Internal Radiance Beauty Collagen to my juices because they keep me satiated until lunch. Over the course of the pandemic, I have lost 15 pounds while intermittent fasting! Can you believe it? Comment down below if you are currently on or want to try Intermittent Fasting. Just remember: There's no one-size-fits-all plan when it comes to diet and lifestyle. Obviously, consult your physician if you're thinking of beginning this diet. If you have a question about something you’d like covered on the podcast, feel free to send me a DM or email info@beautybydrkay.com and I’d be happy to respond!
