In this episode of the Radical Health Rebel Podcast, I’m joined by scientist and skincare formulator Fernanda Da Silva Tatley to dive deep into the world of skincare—particularly when it comes to acne and eczema.

Fernanda shares how her background in medical microbiology, her passion for skin health, and her commitment to clean, ethical ingredients have shaped her unique approach. We discuss the misconceptions around skin types, the dangers of toxic skincare products, and why true skin health goes far beyond what you put on the surface.

If you're struggling with acne or eczema—or simply want healthier skin—this episode is for you.
