International skin expert shares the anti-aging Treatments that actually work | Hollie Atkin

In this episode, Viky sits down with international skin therapist Hollie Atkin to uncover what truly creates healthy, glowing skin from the inside out.

From acne and eczema to dehydration, sensitivity and premature aging, Hollie explains why skin-barrier health should be the starting point of every skincare routine. She shares the difference between hydrators and moisturisers, the essential steps worth prioritising, and why a simpler, consistent approach often delivers better results than an overcrowded routine.

They also discuss the role of lifestyle in skin health: stress, sleep, gut health, high cortisol and intense training and how these internal factors can show up directly on the face.

Hollie breaks down her preferred approach to acne treatments, why she avoids overly aggressive peels, and why microneedling remains her gold-standard treatment for supporting collagen production and aging well.
