289: Targeting Stubborn Hyperpigmentation
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

Happy Friday Beauty Byters!
In this week’s Five Minute Friday, I am talking about the amazing benefits of stem cell growth and the fascinating mechanism it creates in the foundation of your skin! Aging causes the growing mechanisms of the foundation and components of your beautiful skin starts to become less productive. Skin will start to break down from all the oxidated damage, sun pollution, chemicals, trauma of daily wear-and-tear, and aging. Fine lines and wrinkles will start to show more, collagen break-down, loss of elasticity, loss of tone and skin texture. Stem cell growth has been used for wound repair, and much of the research related to skin has been related to this regenerative ingredient.

283: Top Secret Anti-Aging Ingredient: Retinol
Happy Friday, Beauty Byters!
Winter is coming! It's time for your skin to start peeling for fresh, rejuvenated skin. In this week’s Five Minute Friday, I talk about the amazing benefits of Retinol! This is one of the best products out there for your skin and is one of my favorites hands down! Pure retinol itself is pretty potent; strongly consisting of vitamin A, and can cause skin peeling and redness. Your dermatologist may recommend you pure retinol if you have deep facial lines and wrinkles. Retinol derivative, however, is a lot more gentle and works just as well as pure retinol. It improves stimulation of collagen production, skin thickness, and skin surface to give you that youthful, rejuvenated glow! Tune in to hear how incorporating retinol can improve your overall health and beauty! This is truly the Fountain of Youth!

280: The Weightloss and Immunity Boosting Superfood: SPROUTS
Hi Beauties!
On this week’s episode of Beauty Bytes with Dr. Kay: Secrets of a Plastic Surgeon, I am excited to be joined with sprout expert Doug Evans, Co-founder of Organic Avenue, to discuss the tips and health benefits of sprouting. We’ve all heard of “going vegan”, but Doug chose to stick with sprouting specifically because of its convenience and low-cost, whilst getting a variety of vitamins and essential fatty acid nutrients to help protect the body from diseases including cancer. Yes, it's easy to stop by your local store to shop for greens, but vegetable produce is a long-distance, large-scale transportation that could consume large quantities of emitted fossil fuels. Doug encourages others to try the simple method of sprouting; to have fresh, highly nutritious, and affordable greens grown right in your own house!
