Trend Check: Beef Tallow ⭐

Beef tallow has been popping up all over our feeds as a “natural” fix for dry or sensitive skin. So, what’s the deal?

Personally, it's a no from me. I'm struggling to understand why we're putting cow fat on our faces.

Tallow is rendered animal fat. It’s occlusive, which means it sits on top of the skin and forms a barrier that can help reduce moisture loss. That part is real. But just because it reduces moisture loss, doesn't make it good skincare.

Let's stop assuming that 'natural' means better, safer or more effective. Right now there’s limited scientific evidence to support the bigger claims you might see online. Like any rich, heavy ingredient, it may not suit everyone’s skin, particularly if you’re prone to congestion or breakouts.

We have access to well-researched, purpose-formulated skincare products. Why are we reinventing the wheel with beef fat?

Long story short: just because something is trending, doesn't mean it belongs on your face. Your skincare should be targeted, clinical and science-backed. Not Sunday roast leftovers.

If you’re unsure what your skin actually needs, chat with a qualified practitioner who can assess your skin and talk you through your options.

At BX, my consultations go beyond aesthetics.

TMJ disorders are more common than most people realise, and the symptoms aren't always obvious.

Jaw tension, clicking, headaches, teeth grinding; many people just put up with it, not knowing that support is available.

If spring in Bathurst means sneezing, itchy eyes, a runny nose, or congestion, you're not alone. With everything in bloom right now, it's one of the most common things I hear about this time of year.

If your usual hayfever management isn't giving you the relief you need, it's worth having a proper conversation about it. In a consultation, I'll explore your symptoms, what you've already tried, and whether there are other options that may be appropriate for you.

A little personal update ❤️

Some of you may know that I recently took some time away from the clinic for an elective surgery I'd wanted for a long time.

In a spectacular display of timing, I now need to have another, completely unrelated and much less elective surgery this week.

Unfortunately, that's meant rescheduling a fully booked clinic day at short notice. A huge thank you to everyone who has been so flexible and understanding, I really do appreciate it.

I'll make sure nobody misses out while I recover, even if it takes a little juggling.

I'm okay and being well looked after. I'm also not being secretive, but I probably don't need my entire medical history on the internet 🤣

If you want the specific tea, you'll have to book an appointment ☕️

Skin quality and skin laxity are often talked about as though they’re the same thing.

They’re not.

You could have concerns with one or the other, or you can have a combination of both.They overlap, but they’re not the same problem.

Good treatment planning starts with working out what you're actually seeing. Let have a consultation to see what's going on and understand the best course of action.

SILVER SPONSOR | BX AESTHETICS

A big thank you to Bx Aesthetics for supporting the Holy Family School, Kelso Parents & Friends Rainbow Run as a Silver Sponsor!

We are so grateful to have the support of local businesses helping us bring this year’s Rainbow Run to life and raise funds for our students.

Thank you BX Aesthetics for getting behind our school community! 🌈

The internet might be telling you to sleep in a chin strap, mouth tape, wrinkle patches and a silk bonnet... but I'm with the dermatologists on this one. 😅

I barely have time to get myself dressed and the kids to school on time. I do not have the bandwidth to wake up and peel 16 different things off my face before school drop-off.

In reality, good skin rarely comes from doing more. It usually comes from doing the right things, consistently.

For some people, layering on endless products and trends can actually irritate and compromise the skin barrier.

A simple, evidence-based routine beats skincare theatre every time.

Fine lines, thinning skin, dark circles. I get asked about under-eye changes more than almost anything else in consultations, and they're one of the first things people notice in themselves.

Here's what I want you to know: these changes don't all come from the same cause, which means they don't all need the same approach. Swipe through as I walk you through what might be contributing to what you're seeing.

When you come in for a consultation with me, I'll listen first and explain your options second, so you can make an informed decision about what's right for you.

Have questions about your own under-eye concerns? Book a consultation with me via the link in bio.

If you’ve heard about microneedling and wondered whether it’s right for you, we should talk about it.

Microneedling is a well-established treatment that uses controlled micro-injury to stimulate your skin’s natural repair process; inflammation, proliferation and remodelling. It can be a great option for improving skin texture, tone and overall skin quality when it’s used appropriately.

The important part is making sure the treatment is right for your skin. Skin type, medical history, current skincare routine, any individual concerns and factors all need to be considered before anyone picks up a device near your face.

If you've been curious about microneedling, skip the guessing, come in and have the conversation.
