Show Notes
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.

Living with acne, rosacea, melasma, eczema, psoriasis or scarring is never just a skin issue. It’s a confidence issue, and often a mental health one too. In this solo episode of SkinTalks, Beate and Natascha get real about the emotional side of skin concerns: feeling insecure in photos, the pressure of social media filters and comparison culture, online negativity, and how to stop losing hope when nothing seems to work.
Flushing out of nowhere. Redness that never fully fades. A sting when a product goes on. Rosacea and reactive skin are common, frustrating, and often treated the wrong way, and fall is peak flare season.
Under-eye skin is the thinnest skin on your body, and it's usually the first place to show age, stress, lack of sleep, and genetics. In this episode of SkinTalks, Beate and Natascha from Boutique Skin Envie explain why dark circles, puffiness, and fine lines are three different problems that each need a different fix. They cover what causes each one, when to start using an eye cream (mid-20s to early 30s), and what an eye cream can and can't do for hollowing, fat pads, and genetics.
You did your time as a teenager. So why are you getting deep, tender breakouts along your jaw and chin every month, the week before your period? Adult acne is incredibly common, especially in women, and here's what nobody tells you: it is not the same as teen acne, and you cannot treat it the same way.
Exosomes might be the most hyped word in skincare and medical aesthetics right now. Clinics charge $300 to $500 extra to add them after microneedling or laser treatments, serums promise to regenerate your skin, yet almost nobody can explain what they actually are.
