Mama Mia acknowledges the traditional owners of land and waters

Speaker 3 (00:19):
On Makeup is My Therapy.
Speaker 4 (00:23):
I'm obsessed and I don't even feel guilty about it.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Hello, and welcome to you Beauty, the daily podcast for
your Faith. I am Sarah Marie Fat.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
And I'm Kelly McCarron. And this is In Her Bag,
the podcast where we discuss what's in your bag and
our bag and why. Although today we're talking about nothing
that you can fit in.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
A bag, that's a big ass bag.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
That's a big ass, very expensive bag, because the machinery
involved is exponsive exactly, because we're talking about treatments.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Exactly, treatments and not ones that you do on yourself.
We're talking actually going in to a salon, who a
salon with a professional to do your treatments.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
But there are many on the market, some weird, some wacky,
and some that claim to promise them it can't possibly
be true. There are also some pretty incredible ones that
are life changing. So let's get into it. I had
to find the laner in my back.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
So we're going to be going around and asking some
uber is what treatments they've had.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
And did they love it or was it an absolute flop.
Speaker 5 (01:31):
The weirdest treatment I ever had was like torture because
it was electrolysis and they attach electrical nodes into each
individual hair, but they have about six of them going
at once, and they literally electrocute the hair follicle to
the bowl of the root to kill the hair follicle,
and it is so painful.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
For what I feel like, we need to get that
person in the studio and find out why on earth
they did that? What was the purpose of that? Did
someone pay you to let them torture you?
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Basically the video of this is up on the black market.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
You could spind Yeah, what on I'm just googling because
I'm like.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
I can't even think of what that was for, like
why to remove the hair?
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Okay that well, okay, it's not even coming up in Google.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
So I never really get any type of beauty treatment.
Speaker 5 (02:23):
I am pretty basic, but.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
I cannot go past the massage that is my ride
or die makes me feel good, makes a difference in
the crappy day or a good day.
Speaker 5 (02:31):
Massage all the way.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
I could not agree more. There is actually no such thing,
even as a bad message like there obviously is. But
even if it's just someone moisturizing you, better than nothing, right,
I can't.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
I can't. I love it.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
I think it's really soothing and relaxing. But for me
at where I am right now, if I'm going to
take the time out, I want them doing something that.
When I had a horrible massage once though, I was
in Bali and me and my friends decide to go
for like a late night group massage, and this person
they had like this air conon.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
They were all talking.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
I focused actually to stop them the way but like
just I'm sorry, you need to stop.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
I need to go. I'm like, guys, we've got to
get out of me.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
That's fair enough. Like, yeah, listen, I've definitely had dud massages,
but I just love them.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
They are nice. I know the foot one's a foot massage.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
I had microderm abrasion done on my face because I
just booked it in a friend had done it. I
didn't know what it was. It was not for my
skin type whatsoever. I left the facial place with a
red face and it was itchy and I had to
go back like the next day and they had to
fix my skin because my skin was too sensitive for
(03:47):
the treatment, and I had no idea.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
I'm unsure why no one like picked that up to
begin with. But I have a similar story after the break.
So it's safe to say we're both in beauty. We're
big fans of treatments to get the most out of
our skin and our skin care. So we are going
to share one treatment that we love and one that
(04:10):
we absolutely loathe. Sarah Marie, you can go first, okay.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
So I love a face pill. I love a face pill.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
I've had a little bit of a hiatus in regards
to treatments because I've had two little ones and forgotten
about myself.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
And I have just started.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Back yay, yeah, myself making the time for myself. And
can I just say I'm so happy I am because
in my mind I was making excuses not to go
and now I'm making excuses to go and I just
oh because my skins congested and all that.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Love a face pill. Love it.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
And there are different degrees. We'll talk about it later.
There are different degrees appeals, guys. But I love a
face pill. I don't like superficial facials that are like
too gentle, Like, I don't want to go in just
for them to do like.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
What I could do it? Yeah, what I can do
at home. Like I don't love that.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
I agree because I had one recently and I was
lying there and I was enjoying it still, but I
was a bit irritated that I was wasting my time
on something that I could have done at home when
I had so many other things to do.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Yeah, like I would do that for a body massage,
but like to do that for my face, Yeah, I
don't love that.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
And the thing that people need to remember about a
facial is that if you only have three hundred dollars
to spend on your skin, I would absolutely buy a
couple of really good serums because one facial as well
isn't going to do it. You generally need to buy
things in a package and commit to regularly getting them or.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
But sometimes you can't.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Yeah, you go in, get the facial done, and they
can also recommend you some really good products. If you're
like wanting to invest exactly about in your skin, they
can also recommend you some good products.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
While you're not one of those places that just tries
to sell you over here.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
Yes, you need a really good person to do all.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
The treatment that I love, because I was like, Okay, Kelly,
you cannot talk about skin needling again because at this
point it's turning into my entire personality. So I want
to talk about LED because I actually feel like I
don't talk about it enough given how much I love it.
I have it at the end of every single treatment
I ever get, whether that is needling, whether it is
a peel or whatever, I always have. So it's kind
(06:18):
of like my less sung about. Hero Light therapy offers
a range of benefits for your skin. So it's good
for skin texture, like improving it the tone, reducing fine lines,
and really good for acne inflammation that's when I first
discovered it. It also promotes collagen production and speeds up
wound healing and can help with pain management, which is
(06:39):
actually why they put it on you after you've had
more hectic treatment.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Sometimes you recently did some micro needling and.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Then they put yes, she did. A good therapist will
absolutely always Sometimes people try to rush you up, but
they definitely should because it's really good at reducing overall
downtime and then things like bruising and scarring. So the
key difference. People then go, what about that at home
LED mask. The key difference between an at home LED
mask and insalon machine lies in the actual light intensity,
(07:07):
the treatment depth, and then the customization of the wavelength.
So the Insalon machines they're just better because they're using
medical grade LED panels with that higher intensity, so it
allows for deeper skin penetration and then a lot more
faster noticeable results. You can still get results from using
a good at home device, but you need to use
it consistently over a prolonged Yeah, like that's.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Part of your routine, like part of like when you
go into a salon and you get treatments done.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
It doesn't mean you go home and not your skin
care exactly. Like that's part of like your daily thing.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
And then like you go into the salon and get
your treatment and it's like that reboost and you're kind
of like tailoring what you need for your skin.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
The treatment that I loathe, I am similar to the
ub with the microdermobration. This one goes to show that
if you have one bad experience with something, if it's
bad enough, it's pretty impossible to come back from. Back
in the day, I bought a bunch of vouchers for
some sessions of the microdermobration, which is a pen machine thingy,
and it expolates the top layer of your skin using
(08:05):
either fine crystals or like a diamond D tip. What
the practice failed to realize or pass on to me
the client was that you should never have a treatment
like microdermabrasion, which involves a physical exfoliant when you've got
an active acne breakout, because the abrasive nature of that
exfoliation process can exacerbate the acne worse than the breakouts
(08:28):
and really really increase the risk of infection because it
can spread the bacteria beneath the skin's surface. So when
I tell you that my skin was the worst it
has ever been, to the point where my dad asked
me what on earth I'd done to my face, I'm
not exaggerating. And this was when I was like in
my early twenties. I did not have spare cash. They're expense,
(08:49):
they're expensive. I never went back for the other time.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
I have to say, I've done microdermibration without an acne breakout,
and I was doing it regularly and like getting extractions
and everything done, trying to do the right thing for
my phase. Doing that, like compared to going in and
then finally doing a.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Mild treatment like a mild peel with a.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Pill without the microderm sort of thing, it was instantly
so much better. So I personally would recommend any over
a microderma like unless they're doing it as part of
a thing, or like I'm sure they're doing it, but
like to just go in from a microdemobration.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
I'm sure that people like there are some people out
there that would swear by that treatment, but I personally
don't know. All right, So after the break, what treatments
are we keen to try? It's really hard. We get
offered a lot of different treatments to trial, but obviously
(09:42):
we've got to be quite keen on it to give
up the time, potentially the downtime. There are so many
different factors involved. It's not like, oh my god, you
can just go get a facial for free every single week. No no, no,
no no, you could potentially have like another week of downtime.
You can't use and trial different products when you are recovering.
So what is something though that you actually are super
keen on giving a go?
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Okay, so I am keen on trying face fools that
are more intensive, you know, and so like I've got
to build up because I'm just new, right, but there
are different levels of it something it's a bit more intensive.
I also really want to try that PRP for underneath
the eyes.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Is that painful? Now, it's not painful, just as gross.
Oh it's yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
I know people on the pod once and she loved it.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
I've seen great results from that, and I think if
you wrap your head around the fact it's not botox, I.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Feel like it's the plasma from your yeah, I don't
want to.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Colored tiletts or something like that, and they put it
under your eyes and it really does help to refresh
on your eyes. So I'm really wanting to try that,
but I'm just focusing first on rejuvenating my skin, decongesting
all that kind of stuff and refreshing it, and then
I'm going to give that a try.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Because very pot back.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
I will not be listening while you do, but I'm
sure other people listening at home will heads off. While
I was in jewing someone about this once because I
was like, I simply cannot listen to them talk about
certain aspects in detail.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
I'm going to film it. I'm going to film it.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
When I do do it, I'm going to film it,
and I'm going to send it to you zoomed in.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Well, I really want to try a treatment called Profillo STRUCTURER.
So I've lost a lot of collagen in my face, like,
which is just normal age weight fluctuations.
Speaker 5 (11:28):
You know.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
It's very starting to see all that.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Yeah, but sometimes I look at photos of myself and
I'm like, dear lord, aging is obviously amazing, but I
sometimes look a little bit gaunt and a little bit haggard,
and I'm like, oh, yikes. So i just want to
look rested. That's why I'm really quite keen to try this.
I think I will soon. It's a hyaluronic acid injectable
designed to regenerate the fat and address like volume loss
(11:52):
in the face, so particularly in areas like the midface
and jawline. It is different from traditional fillers, which focuses
on adding volume by targeting the fat tissue itself to
provide more natural looking lift and contour. I don't know
if it's painful. I don't know how many sessions I
would need, so I'm interested in it, but I need
to report back.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
Yeah, I want more influan these.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
You don't need any You have got the most beautiful
plump later on for later on.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Yeah, my thing at the moment, nothing about you, sis.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
I've still got the plumpness, but it's the skin texture
that I'm worried about.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Okay, well this wouldn't be.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
So we've got different We've got different concerns, you and I.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
So I we're not You know how people want to
change gracefully.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
No I don't.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
I'm down without a fight.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
Yeah I do, but like I will be plumping myself
up as much as possible the.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
Way, as gracefully as we can with a fight.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
On that note, we'll be back in your ears next week,
but for now, it's time to skid out all.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
Skirt at all.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Kel will be back tomorrow for Spendy sav with Lee Campbell,
but we'll both be back next week to share our
beauty muscles and wish lists.
