Whether you’re recovering from the flu, shingles or another viral infections, your skin can feel unsettled for a while.

I’ve had quite a few studio guests recently dealing with shingles, flu and other viral illnesses, so I thought sharing this information might be helpful to some of you.😘

If you’ve recently been unwell, you might notice your facial skin feels red, blotchy, or sensitive, especially if you had shingles and had not had the rash on your face.

Here’s what’s happening.
Viral infections affect more than just the area where symptoms appear; they impact your nervous system and immune response.

When your body is under this stress with inflammation, nerve pain, and your immune system working overtime, it can also affect other areas, including your skin.

Here’s why your skin might be reacting.

1: The nerves and skin are closely connected. So, when a viral infection impacts the nervous system, your skin can become reactive and flushed, even without a visible rash.

2: Your immune system goes into overdrive to fight the virus, causing inflammation that can leave your skin red, blotchy, or hot.

3: Even if your face didn’t have any direct symptoms, your skin may feel more sensitive and dry after a viral illness. If you have rosacea, this inflammation and stress can trigger flare-ups, worsening redness and sensitivity.

4: Viral infections can also disrupt your skin barrier, leaving it dry, irritated, and slower to heal.

5: Emotional and physical stress add to this, so recovery often takes time and patience.

Right now, your skin needs calm, gentle care and key ingredients(as not all products are formulated the same) to rebuild its barrier.

If your skin has been feeling unsettled lately, be kind to it. And if you’d like personalised skincare advice or support during this time, I’m here to help. Lindy💚X

I rarely share skin progression photos on posts, mainly because I usually forget to take them. 🤦🏼‍♀️

 But this one felt worth sharing. Skin changes are never a linear process, and it takes time.

As I often say in the studio, if you’ve been dealing with something for a long time, it’s not going to be fixed in a month.
⠀
This is my beautiful studio guest from April to June this year. Her skin is still a work in progress, but we’re seeing steady, meaningful improvements.
⠀
Through a holistic and integrative approach, we’ve focused on consistent steps, starting with three Bio-Microneedling treatments alongside a simple and affordable skincare routine curated specifically for her skin.

Using acne-safe, barrier-supportive products that focus on calming inflammation, rebuilding the skin barrier, and creating a healthy foundation for long-term results is key. We also worked on supportive nutritional changes.
⠀
You have to be ready and open-minded to make changes, listen to advice, and truly implement them because that’s how real progress happens with skin.

If you’re feeling like The Peaceful Skin Co. might be the right fit for your skin journey, I’d truly love to hear from you. Let’s see if I can help guide you in the right direction. Lindy 💚X

Ever wondered why two skincare products with similar ingredients can feel totally different on your skin?

Skincare formulation matters more than you think.

Think of skincare formulas like recipes. Every ingredient matters, but so do the exact amounts and the sequence in which they’re added. Even a small change can shift the whole product or affect its stability and the outcome on the skin.

I never judge people's choices.
If a product works for you, that’s what’s important. But when I’m asked why I steer clear of many pharmacy or store brands, it comes down to how those products are formulated.

It’s more than just the ingredients on the label. The quality of those ingredients, how they’re sourced and extracted, the product’s pH, clinical testing, and how the product is produced all play a massive role in how effective and skin-friendly a product is, especially if your skin is sensitive, reactive, dry, or prone to breakouts.

While I certainly don’t know formulation, as I am no scientist. I do have insight into what truly benefits the skin. That’s why I choose to work with Synergie Skin and Roccoco Botanicals.

Brands were founded and formulated by trusted industry leaders, scientists, and cosmetic chemists, such as Terri from Synergie Skin and Jacine from Roccoco Botanicals.

Science, ethics, and intention back their products. Every ingredient is there for a reason, and no fillers or unnecessary additives exist.

Please know it’s never about pushing products or selling more than you need (which many of you seem to expect when you first visit the studio). Every product I choose is there to genuinely support your skin with care, effectiveness, and the right formulation.

If you would love a little help finding the right products or treatment options for your skin, please get in touch. Lindy 💚X

Rosacea + Sleep: the hidden link.

If your rosacea flares after a bad night’s sleep, you’re not imagining it. There’s a strong link between rest, hormones, and skin health.

Here’s what’s happening.

1: More cortisol = more inflammation.
Poor sleep raises cortisol (your stress hormone), which increases inflammation and dilates blood vessels, making skin feel hotter, redder, and more reactive.

2: Histamine can rise, too.
Lack of quality sleep may disrupt how your body clears histamine, which triggers flushing, itching, and sensitivity in many people with rosacea.

3: Overheating at night.
Sleep loss affects your ability to regulate temperature. If you wake up flushed or sweaty, that internal heat can contribute to flare-ups.

4: Skin repair slows down.
Your skin does most of its healing while you sleep. Without that deep rest, the barrier stays compromised — which can lead to more irritation.

5: women in peri or menopause.
Many women first develop rosacea around this time. Hormonal shifts can mess with sleep, increase hot flushes, and even heighten histamine sensitivity. All of this can aggravate the skin.

If there is any way I can assist in supporting your rosacea and sensitive prone skin, please reach out, I’d love to help. Lindy 💚X

As the seasons shift, so too can the skin’s threshold for tolerance, particularly in conditions like eczema and rosacea, as well as in experiencing skin dehydration and sensitivity.

If you’re noticing increased redness, sensitivity, inflammation, or any other skin changes, these are three easy suggestions I recommend.

1. Pull back on active ingredients.

In the presence of inflammation, actives such as AHAS, BHAS, and retinoids act as accelerants. The skin requires restoration, not stimulation. Opt for formulations rich in ceramides, cholesterol, and fatty acids to help re-establish barrier function.

2. Support the microbiome with a prebiotic serum.

Synergie Skin Dermiotic (available from the studio) is your friend here. It helps to regulate inflammation and rebalance a disrupted skin microbiome. This is especially beneficial in rosacea, where the microbiome often plays a role in flare-ups.

3. Make minor adjustments.

Cooler weather, wind, and heating all impact the skin. A few things that help.

: Swap foaming or gel cleansers for a gentle oil-based cleanser.

: Layer a hydrating mist under your moisturiser.

: Turn the heat of your shower down and keep it short. Hot water dilates capillaries and disrupts your skin’s lipid barrier, worsening flushing, sensitivity and dehydration in the skin.

If you come out of the shower and your skin is red and feels tight, before any product application, that's a skin cue to turn your shower down!

Seasonal skin flare-ups are your skin’s SOS. The goal is to calm, not need to correct, your skin. Lindy 💚X

I haven’t posted one of these little reflections in a while... 🥰

Just a bit of food for thought for us all.
In a world so busy and so often shaped by how we’re perceived and what we have, generosity can quietly get lost.

But real generosity isn’t loud.
It’s often in the things not spoken about.
How we show up.
How we treat people.
How willing we are to listen and let others be who they are.

Sometimes we all need a little nudge.
Love, Lindy 💚X

Stinging isn’t just “sensitive skin”. 🌟

If you have rosacea and often feel a sting, burn, or tingle, you’re not imagining it, and it’s not “just sensitive skin.”

That sensation is a type of neurovascular inflammation.

The nerves in your skin become reactive, especially when your skin barrier is compromised.

Think of your skin like a little alarm system. The “wires” (nerves) underneath can get slightly jumpy when the barrier is weakened.

This leads to that burning, stinging feeling, sometimes even with products meant to soothe.

Protecting and repairing the skin barrier is essential in managing rosacea.

It’s not about using “gentle” products. It’s about using the right ones to calm that nerve response and rebuild the barrier.

Are you struggling with stinging or burning from rosacea? You’re not alone. I can help calm and soothe your skin with effective targeted treatments.

Let me help you feel comfortable and confident again with your skin. To Book your appointment, reach out in a direct message. Love Lindy xx
