Ever dreamed of a full day spa experience without needing to take a single step outside the house? This week on The Formula, Kelly is joined by multi-award-winning skin expert Karla McDiarmid—the woman behind the globally recognised Macquarie Medispa in regional NSW. With over 26 years in the industry (and a trophy shelf to prove it), Karla shares exactly how to replicate medispa-style results at home using the right combination of skincare, tech, and technique. We chat about the rise of non-invasive treatments, how your gut health might be affecting your face, and why sometimes all your skin really needs… is hydration.Plus, Karla reveals her go-to products, the most overrated skincare trends, and her glow-inducing personal routine. Whether you're a skincare minimalist or a full-glam maximalist, this ep is your cheat sheet to getting that post-facial glow from your own bathroom.
