With Danielle Collins

Show Notes

This week on The Face Yoga Expert Podcast, I am joined by Farah Bashir, founder of Sachi Skin, to talk about a completely different way to understand your skin.

Instead of focusing on traditional “skin types”, Farah explains why we should think about our skin in terms of “skin states” and how this can completely change the way we care for our skin, health and wellbeing.

In this fascinating and insightful conversation, Farah shares her personal skin journey, the inspiration behind creating Sachi Skin, and how she blends ancient wisdom and Ayurvedic-inspired rituals with modern dermal science.

We also explore the importance of lifestyle, stress management, wellness rituals and inner peace when it comes to healthy, glowing skin.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Why the idea of “skin states” is more helpful than “skin types” • The four skin states and how to identify yours • How lifestyle and stress affect your skin • Farah’s personal skin challenges and healing journey • The inspiration behind building Sachi Skin • The importance of good skincare and barrier support • Wellness rituals and habits for healthy skin • Tips for inner peace, calm and nervous system support • Blending traditional wisdom with modern skin science
