In this third episode recorded at the Integrative and Personalised Medical Congress 2025, I spoke with Holistic Facialist, Elizabeth King.

Elizabeth ran a private skincare practice in London and was featured in Vogue as one of the top five facialists. She has looked after many high-profile clients and celebrities over the years and has a particular interest in rosacea, teenage acne, and irritated, hypersensitive skin conditions.

In today’s episode, Elizabeth explores:

- what are the rhythms in nature that affect our skin and beauty?

- How can you work with them to optimise your skincare and self care?

- What are the three body types that Elizabeth works with?

- Which body type are you?

- How will that inform what you put on your skin and how to apply it?

- How can your skincare help you find out more about your whole self?

- What is a skin barrier?

- What is a lymphatic pathway?

- What are the surprising effects of the value of touch?

- Why nature’s ingredients holds the wisdom our skin is asking for.

Elizabeth reminds us to listen to our bodies and planet in a world that makes it easy not to, by honouring nature and individuality in our skincare and self care.
