Face Facts

Gemma Cooper + Faye Hayes

Welcome to Face Facts. A podcast where aesthetics meets real life. Hosted by two friends, mums and aesthetics practitioners, Face Facts is a refreshingly honest conversation about faces, ageing, confidence, relationships, work, motherhood, wellness and everything else life throws our way. Some weeks we’ll be talking filler, Botox, industry myths and the latest trends. Other weeks we’ll be talking about friendships, hormones, business, parenting, products we’re loving, things we’re questioning and the realities of trying to juggle it all. We’ll be separating the facts from the b******t, sharing stories from clinic and beyond, debating hot takes and saying the things most people only admit behind closed doors. No scripts. No lectures. No pretending we’ve got it all figured out. Just honest conversations, strong opinions, plenty of laughs and the occasional uncomfortable truth. Because life isn’t just about how you look. But let’s be honest… sometimes it helps. Produced by Holly Rushton.

    Female Rage, Hormones & The Things Women Don’t Talk About

    This week on Face Facts, we’re going down a very honest (and slightly chaotic) rabbit hole. From hormones and ovulation to female rage, perimenopause and the moments where you genuinely question whether you’re in control of your own emotions… We’re talking about the things women experience but don’t always feel comfortable admitting. We dive into body dysmorphia, mental health, disordered eating, the pressure to look a certain way and the unrealistic standards women are constantly expected to meet. We also discuss celebrity culture, Katie Price, the public judgement women face, and why everyone suddenly becomes an expert when a woman changes her appearance. But it’s not all serious… We’re getting into everything from Soho Farmhouse, quitting alcohol, our biggest icks, biohacking, calories on menus, hair loss, our current favourite makeup products and the everyday things that make us feel like ourselves again. And of course… Gem proves once again why she has earned the title of queen of swearing. Because Face Facts isn’t just about aesthetics. It’s about the conversations happening in real life, the ones we have with our friends, the ones we think about at 2am and the ones people are sometimes too scared to say out loud. No filters. No pretending. Just honest conversations about life, women, ageing and everything in between.

    Complications, Controversy & Cosmetic Tourism - What’s Really Going Wrong?

    BBLs. Botox. Bad injectors. And the conversations the aesthetics industry keeps trying to avoid. This week on Face Facts, we’re talking BBLs with dermal filler, the rise of “celebrity injectors”, surgery abroad, regulations, unrealistic expectations and the uncomfortable truths about the aesthetics industry. From the Lip King to the growing trend of liquid BBLs, we’re asking where the line is between innovation and irresponsibility. We get into why regulation can’t come soon enough, what happens when practitioners inject beyond their level of competence, and why so many complications could be prevented with better education, ethics and accountability. We’re also talking cosmetic surgery abroad, whether the horror stories tell the full picture, the reality of managing patient expectations, blacklisting patients, and why sometimes saying “no” is the best thing a practitioner can do. Oh… and yes, we’re talking about Kris Jenner too. This isn’t about scaremongering or shaming people for the choices they make. It’s about having the conversations the industry often whispers about instead of saying out loud. Because aesthetics shouldn’t be about chasing trends. It should be about putting patients first. If you’ve ever wondered what’s really going on behind the perfectly curated before-and-afters, this episode is for you.
