Skincare for Sensitive Skin: Putting together a gentle daily routine.
Sensitive Skin. If you’ve got it, then you know it can be complicated and confusing to find a daily routine to suit your skin. So much trial and error and far too much time on Google looking for solutions. Some will tell you natural and organic is best for your sensitive skin. While others may […]
Ageless Skin Starts Here: Unlocking your skin’s potential.
Let me start by saying your skin is an amazing organ. Your skin provides a protective barrier between you and your world; it regulates variations in your body temperature; it’s a sensory organ that detects heat, cold, touch and pain: your amazing skin, the one organ of the body other than your eyes that is […]
Epidermis exfoliation. Are you doing it right?
Have you ever wondered about your epidermis? Of course, you have. Okay, maybe not. Even so, it’s there, working tirelessly for you every day and constantly renewing YOU into a better version of yourself. Well, a better version of your skin. Your epidermis is the outermost layer of you. Consisting of 6 wafer-thin layers, you […]
What’s the difference between Ultherapy and Ultraformer III?
High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a way to combat the visible signs of ageing, and two of the most popular devices are Ultherapy and Ultraformer III. They’re not the only HIFU devices, but they are probably the best-known. So I thought it would be helpful to look at the differences. But before I do, let […]
What is HIFU skin tightening?
It’s a hard pill to swallow, but skincare will not stop your skin from sagging. It will slow the ageing process, and you will have an infinitely better skin texture and tone with fewer lines and wrinkles. Still, the skin will eventually sag as the underlying structures of the face and neck begin to alter, […]

Free Radicals: The Artful Dodgers.
How you age is your choice. Okay, sure, genetics play a part, but even if you’ve been dealt an unlucky hand in the genetics lottery, in some cases, like how your skin is going to age, you do get to choose and knowing the effect of free radicals on accelerated ageing and how to minimise […]
The Diet Starts Tomorrow!
Here we go again. Promises, promises. Alright, you’ve told yourself this before, and now here you go again. The diet starts tomorrow, just after this last piece of cake, or you’re just going to finish off all the treats left from Christmas… then you’ll start? Truly, you tell yourself, the diet really does START TOMORROW! […]
Nurturing Skin Health with Skincare
In my career as a skin therapist, the emphasis on combating ageing has been constant. However, with time, I’ve found a shift in my perspective; I want to highlight the true nature of our skin—resilient, protective, and vital for overall health and how nurturing skin health with skincare is the solution to better skin, with […]
Solo Travelling through Europe
While solo travelling through Europe, I met a woman named Joan. Initially, a brief exchange at Turin Porta Susa Stazione, Italy, while boarding a fast train destined for Paris. Orderly chaos on the way to London. Catching a fast train in Europe is both orderly and chaotic. With your carriage number illuminated on the screens […]
