'Skinfluencer' Hannah talks about science, skin and neurodivergence

Kate and Mandy talk to Hannah English - pharmaceutical scientist, science communicator and skinfluencer! Along with all of these credentials, Hannah also has ADHD and autism, which she was diagnosed with only recently as a young adult. Hannah’s journey included studying pharmaceutical science and working in drug development before deciding to work in science communication in order to make a better impact, and pursue her interests in beauty and skincare. Prior to her successful experiences of tertiary study and career progression, Hannah had a challenging time while on a scholarship at an elite private school as a teenager, where she had to navigate class and wealth differences while also experiencing bullying and social challenges. She also had a tough time with a bad boyfriend and invested in regular weekly therapy to heal and find her way forward. Fast forward to now and Hannah has nearly 60,000 followers on Instagram after going viral on a post about sunscreen! She’s also released her own sold-out make-up and skincare products and has a booking coming out in June 2022 - Your Best Skin: The Science Of Skincare. Hannah talks about the practical ways she’s been able to achieve these goals while also managing her neurodivergence through medication and other supports, and how she’s also working her way through how to best integrate her lived experience with her social media presence. Find out more about Hannah via her website, including all of her recommendations for great products that will help you take good care of your skin.
