Derm Approved

Susan Yara joins me to talk about peptides, plastic surgery, and when she knew she was hitting her peak as an influencer. You may know her from her YouTube channel, Mixed Makeup, or from Naturium, the brand she built and sold to e.l.f. Cosmetics for $355 million in 2023. She gets real about what it took to sell the brand and what happened after the acquisition. We also dive into what she's had done–a nose job, fat transfer, and a tummy tuck–and what she wishes she knew before the surgeries.

Listen to my conversation with Susan on her podcast, Glowlab, here or wherever you podcast. You can follow Susan on Instagram @susanyara and @mixedmakeup.

If you've ever felt like your makeup "just isn't working like it used to," this one's for you. Makeup artist Erica Taylor–the internet's go-to for makeup on mature and aging skin–joins me to break down what actually changes on your face over time and how to adjust your makeup routine accordingly. We cover why fine lines and undereye bags aren't just an "over 40" issue, the right way to cleanse and remove makeup, and color correcting and concealer techniques that don't crease.

Peptides, NAD injections, GLP-1s—everyone's talking about them, but what actually works? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Taz Bhatia—a triple board-certified physician, integrative medicine expert, and one of the leading voices in longevity—to break down the real connection between gut health, hormones, and skin.

Dr. Taz shares her own health journey, from being dismissed by specialists for over a year to discovering integrative medicine. She then walks through the four root causes she sees behind most skin issues: gut health, inflammation, hormones, and cortisol. After that, she reveals what's actually worth trying in the world of peptides, and I break down what "Ozempic face" is. We wrap up by discussing the supplements she thinks are overrated vs. underrated.

For the first episode of Season Two of Derm Approved, Holly Madison sits down with Dr. Shelia Farhang to talk about beauty and what aging looks like after a lifetime in the public eye. From experimenting with alt looks in high school to navigating the very specific beauty standards inside the Playboy Mansion, Holly gets candid about the procedures she's had and how her relationship with her appearance has changed since her 20s. They also dig into the evolution of nonsurgical treatments, why Holly finally got a facelift in her mid-40s, and what she'd tell her younger self about beauty and confidence.

Follow Holly Madison on Instagram @hollymadison and listen to her new podcast, You Wish.
