Sol Studio

Ever wonder why your pigmentation comes back every summer? ☀️

Your skin remembers. Pigment cells don’t switch off for good, so one sunny week can wake up patches you spent all winter fading.

And it’s not just UV. Visible light and heat can darken melasma too, which is why a tinted mineral SPF and avoiding overheating matter as much as your serum.

TSW rarely moves in a straight line ~-~~-~~

If you’re in withdrawal, you’ll know the pattern. A few calmer weeks, then a flare that makes it feel like you’re right back at the start. That cycling is really common, and it doesn’t mean you’re going backwards.

These photos are from one of our clients during withdrawal. Swipe through and you’ll see the ups and downs, not just a before and after.

What helps is zooming out. Are the flares a little shorter? Is the skin settling faster afterwards? Is sleep coming back? Those small shifts are progress too.

Every skin is different and there’s no set timeline, but you don’t have to work it out on your own. Book a Skin Discovery Session via the link in bio, or send us a message if you’re not sure where to start.

From Wednesday 14 October, Constance is back in the studio and the diary is open.

Whether it’s been a while, your skin is having a moment, or you’ve been meaning to book for months, this is your sign. Spots for the first few weeks will go quickly.

The best skin results usually don’t come from one appointment.

They come from a plan you can actually stick to.

That’s why our memberships are designed around consistency ~ regular treatments, ongoing support and the right care for your skin as it changes.

Not pressure. Not a lock-in contract. Just a more sustainable way to keep investing in your skin.

A little something for our birthday month.

September is nearly over... and it was also Sol Studio’s first birthday, and to say thank you we’re tucking a mini ESSE PRO Sun D Serum in with any two ESSE skin care products, while stock lasts.

Not a big song and dance. Just a small thank you for a year of trusting us with your skin, x

Sometimes healing skin means accepting that more is not always better.

When your skin is already inflamed, itchy or struggling to repair, adding another product or treatment can feel like you’re doing something, but it may also be adding more for your skin to process.

That doesn’t mean ignoring your skin or avoiding medical care. It means your treatment, skin care and home support should work together rather than compete for attention.

Some medications sit perfectly well alongside treatment. Others are a contraindication and change what we can safely do, or when we can do it. That is not a reason to leave anything out when we ask… It is exactly why we ask.

Tell us what you’re taking and we’ll build the plan around it.

If you are living with eczema or steroid withdrawal, you have probably heard a lot of advice.

Use this cream. Stop using that product. Try this treatment. Avoid that ingredient.

But complex skin usually needs more than a list of rules. It needs someone to look at the full picture: your barrier, your inflammation, your itch, your history, what you have already tried and what your skin can realistically tolerate right now.

That is why we created the Eczema & TSW Guide. A practical place to start if you’re trying to understand your skin and figure out what support might be right for you.

And if you need more personalised support, a Skin Discovery Session gives us the space to look at your skin in more depth and work out what will support it rather than fight it.

The grass is seeding, the pollen count is high right now, and our allergy sufferers are feeling it.

As the weather shifts, eczema and steroid withdrawal skin can become more reactive. Heat, sweat, changes in humidity and more time outdoors all affect comfort and barrier function. Add airborne pollen and other seasonal allergens on top and flare ups can come on fast.

If itch, redness or inflammation is getting harder to manage, you do not have to wait until it becomes unbearable to ask for support.

A Skin Discovery Session is the place to start. We will look at what is driving the flare and build a plan around what your skin can actually handle right now.
