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.

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.
