Microneedling – Taking your skin care to a whole new level.
Ever thought about walking on hot coals? Attending a Tony Robbins seminar can be, for some, life-changing. So much so that many in attendance attempt to walk on hot coals to affirm their renewed faith in their abilities and shatter self-limiting beliefs that have held them back. Set on fire with their epiphanies and […]
A Beauty Reboot : 20 Ways to slow down, reboot and push back on ageing.
Why the rush? I lived in Sydney for 18 years, and then I didn’t. I loved Sydney, but personal circumstances led me away from this city that I’d come to call home to a life in the country. I swapped stilettos for sneakers and if you knew me? Well, you’d know this was a significant change. […]
Banish 10 years from your face. Part 2
Five non-surgical facial treatments. You’d be forgiven for thinking banishing 5 – 10 years from your visible appearance isn’t possible, unless you opt for a full facelift. Or, you’re curious but the idea of looking less than your real self, leaves you feeling a bit cold. You can’t see yourself adding dermal fillers to your […]
The power of a good skin consultation. 6 things to look for.
Have you noticed a change in your skin? With time and other environmental factors, the skin can begin to change. And, often, the first place most of us go is to the internet. But with so much information, you may leave with more questions than answers. A barrage of lotions, potions, and clever anti-ageing marketing […]
Vitamin C: Is your collagen getting enough?

Found in your dermis (the living layer of your skin), Collagen (Type 1) is the fibre that gives your skin its strength, resilience and structure. It’s an essential aspect of healthy skin. Things go a little bit haywire. […]
Dermaplaning: Should you be shaving your face?
Should you be shaving your face for better skin? I’ve often thought guys who foamed up daily and shaved their faces with a blade had one up on the rest of us, as shaving in this way removes not only facial hair but also exfoliates the skin, removing dead skin cells and speeds up cell […]

Reborn: Non invasive fat reduction in a whole new light.
I hate my arms. There, I’ve said it, and the shame I feel is not new to me. In one way or another, I’ve been unhappy with my arms; whether I should or shouldn’t seems irrelevant to me. It is what it is. You’ll never see me in a sleeveless outfit; it will never happen. […]
Going beyond skincare with at home skin tech devices.
Home skin tech devices are becoming increasingly popular. Perhaps this trend peaked with the increase in online meetings and calls. Whatever the reason, more and more of us are turning towards home skin tech anti-ageing devices to prevent, restore and rejuvenate the skin. The type of skin tech devices I’m talking about harness technologies such […]
Rosacea: What’s causing it and what can you do?
The facial blushing of rosacea. Unlike the youthful blushing of our teenage years, the redness caused by rosacea is entirely different and as awkward as blushing can be, especially if you’re shy; a youthful blush is not an acquired skin condition. Just ironically embarrassing. And later in life, when the hot flushes of menopause have […]
Facial volume loss. Skin lost its bounce?
The first signs of ageing. Lines and wrinkles appear long before we notice any loss of facial volume. For me, it was 1985. What’s this? I pondered as I peered into my reflection. Out of the blue, a barely perceptible line appeared on the left side of my face, the line etching the exact location of […]
