How To Protect Your Skin Barrier & Microbiome | Dermatologist’s Golden Rules
Is your skincare routine helping your skin... or actually damaging it? Welcome to the After Hours Skin Clinic, the place where the skincare conversation never stops. In this episode Consultant Dermatologists Dr Emma Craythorne and Dr Ellie Rashid return with Dermatology's Golden Rule #2: Understand your skin barrier and microbiome and protect them! Your skin barrier is thinner than cling film, yet it’s your body’s first line of defense, keeping moisture in and irritants out. When it’s damaged, you’ll see it in dryness, redness, breakouts, and sensitivity. In this episode, Emma and Ellie break down what your skin barrier actually does, how your microbiome helps to keep it balanced, and what happens when things go wrong. They explore the ingredients that strengthen or sabotage your barrier, the skincare habits that cause more harm than good, and what to do if you’ve over-exfoliated or over-treated your skin. You’ll also hear why “less is more” is often the secret to healthy, resilient skin, and why cleansing, moisturising, and daily SPF remain the real golden trio. Finally, Emma and Ellie take a closer look at viral trends like the caveman routine, exploring why skipping skincare altogether can be just as damaging. This is your weekly dermatologist-led masterclass in skin science. Listen and learn how to protect the delicate ecosystem that keeps your skin glowing, balanced, and strong.

After Hours Skin Clinic
Korean Skincare Deep Dive: From Snail Mucin to Glass Skin with Dr Christine Hall
In this episode of After Hours Skin Clinic, Dr Ellie Rashid is joined by Korean skincare expert Dr Christine Hall to unpack the most talked-about trends and ingredients in K-beauty—beyond the marketing. They cover it all: Korean face masks, snail mucin, bee venom, Korean sunscreens (why they’re so good), placenta extract, mealworms, and the science behind PDRN (yes, derived from salmon sperm). Plus, what exactly are spicules—and how are sea sponges involved? They also get into the truth behind “glass skin”, how to actually achieve long-term glow, as well as Christine’s personal holy grail Korean skincare products you don’t want to miss. _____ Have any questions?
