Dr Amy Chahal: “Trends Are for Fashion, Not Your Face—Why Skin Health Is the Real Flex”
In this empowering episode of In Your Skin, we sit down with Dr Amy Chahal, cosmetic doctor and founder of The Centre for Medical Aesthetics in Sydney, for a candid chat on skin health, ageing well, and why beauty should never be driven by unrealistic trends. From her surgical roots to running her own holistic cosmetic clinic, Dr Chahal shares why she’s passionate about doing things differently in an industry that often prioritises profit over patient care.
Dr Chahal explains the shift away from the overfilled look, the real science behind skincare ingredients like retinol and vitamin C, and why less is often more when it comes to looking after your skin. We talk ageing, collagen loss, preventative skincare in your 20s, the rising rates of cosmetic procedures among millennials, and how stress and lifestyle directly show up on your face.
She also unpacks the dangers of overdoing your routine (yes, teenagers, we’re looking at you), how AI is transforming the way we analyse skin, and why SPF might just be your best anti-ageing tool.
If you’ve ever been confused by beauty marketing, overwhelmed by skincare aisles, or unsure who to trust when it comes to your face, this conversation will ground you in science, balance, and self-confidence.
