Beautiful Therapies

I have copied this post from a .uk post as I totally agree. So often within the beauty industry we are looking for a quick fix, a bandage over an issue or not really understanding underlying causes or issues, going into hard and too early with products and modalities.
It’s like the tweens in certain shops already purchasing actives or retinols.
And the under 35’s destroying their skin barrier with treatments and products that are not suitable for their skin and getting heavily into filler and Botox - ultimately long term, this can be aging rather than skin longevity or prejuvenation.
Concentrating on the protection of the skin’s barrier, helping to keep muscle tone, fascia hydration, supporting collagen production and keeping the lymph system flowing, aids in skin’s longevity and prejuvenation.
Often the reason for seeking treatment is dull skin tone, breakouts, dry or dehydrated skin, premature fine lines and age spots. Often this is not actually the signs of aging but rather are linked to lifestyle: uv damage, stress, poor diet and skin barrier damage.
It is about taking a measured approach: using products that help protect the skin’s barrier, LED phototherapy, microneedling, facial massage (including neck, shoulders and back) and non abrasive lasers.
As Amy Peterson puts it, it’s less about chasing results and more about keeping skins function at its best.

Welcoming Dermaviduals to my Therapies.
Dermaviduals is based on Corneotherapy. The idea that your skin is the protective layer of your body and similar to the roof of a house, a damaged roof can cause a lot of internal damage.

Dermaviduals technology provides a platform for a skin-mimicking that is customisable using a derma membrane structure and active concentrates, meaning the ingredients are able to reach where they are needed without aggravating the skin.
products contain only the purest of ingredients from around the world and are free from fragrances, conventional emulsifiers, preservatives, parabens, silicones, amines, mineral oils and colours.

Once the actives are released into the skin, the encapsulated liposomes or nanoparticles permeate the skin’s barrier in a pure and safe manner, ensuring optimal delivery and enabling effective pe*******on of the active ingredients.
Please do get in contact with me if you would like to book a facial or find out more about starting your skin journey with Dermaviduals. 07966410537 [email protected]

Exciting to start studying again - this time Level 4 & 5 in Nutrition - it’s gonna take a while as I need to squeeze it into an already quite busy schedule. But I am loving it, enjoying sneaking away to study… if only this thirst for knowledge had begun at school 😆
My passion for nutrition has always been with me, I can’t believe it has taken me this long to delve deeper into it.
I do wholeheartedly believe that food is our medicine or our poison.
Listening to the signs within our body or our skin, can tells us a lot about what is going on internally - treating individually and holistically as we all respond differently.
Longevity begins with what we eat / ate.

This is great news… we need to step aside from stripping away at the planet and ourselves. A more holistically combined approach to beauty… I love that science is discovering molecularly identical placental proteins - it just feels all, so wrong to be using actual placental proteins and salmon s***m in a beauty treatment.
Having never paid much attention in Science at school - I now love it and want to apologise to my old teacher, Mr Bentley for not ‘trying harder’ in his lessons.
Our Planet, our bodies and our skin are all intrinsically entwined…

It sometimes catches me out - I wake up and my skin feels like sandpaper and my whole body from head to toe feels dry…
Whenever I tell clients that their skin has signs of being dehydrated or dryness - people will always think I am referring to water 💦 Water is always important as is the quality of the water - at the least, filtered but preferably fully structured water.
But it is also about how you are nourishing and hydrating your skin; we need to up this through the winter months.
Although exfoliation is great to sloth off dead skin cells, be careful not to over exfoliate, this can lead to an impaired skin barrier. After exfoliation, choose a good follow on serum and cream.
If your skin is getting super dry, look at reducing your actives in your skincare routine.
Choose a calmer, oil or cream based cleanser.
Diet - look at your diet and maybe up your good fats.
Always keep your gut microbiom healthy with foods rich in prebiotics.
If you need the radiator on in your bedroom, maybe invest in a humidifier or simply put a bowel of water on the window sill above the radiator.
Reduce the heat on your shower.
Please no blasting heat in your car and turn the airflow away from your face.
Book in for a hydrating facial and or LED phototherapy.

At (where I am based every Wednesday and every other Saturday) I helped this young bride to be, achieve clear skin for her Big Day
We all know the feeling of not feeling comfortable within our own skin - watching her happiness, gratitude, confidence and relaxed attitude to towards her wedding day, grow, was so heart warming.
Skin is our surface and how we meet the world, it can be a catalyst to a good or bad day. To our confidence and to our moods…
It was great to work with this young lady as she was committed and acted on my suggestions - hence the results were / are great.
I recommended her a simply home care plan and she came to me for 8 facials every week and 3 bacials - a mix of Medik8 Expert facials, and phototherapy.
Now her skin is under control we will continue with maintenance and possibly some microneedling to aid in the reduction of scarring.
