So how do you get that “glass skin” look? You know that skin that looks poreless, perfectly smooth, and almost reflective like a sheet of glass, no spots or imperfections?

Here’s the thing… real skin isn’t glass 🧐
It has pores, texture, little fine hairs, freckles, lines, and sometimes the occasional breakout. And that’s completely NORMAL.

What we see online is often filtered, edited, or taken under perfect lighting. And when we try to chase that flawless look, we can end up over-exfoliating, stripping our barrier, and doing more harm than good; sometimes even leading to inflammation and subsequently increased stress. And that’s the real enemy when it comes to skin health and premature aging.

📣 STRESS!! [saying it louder for the people at the back]

Healthy skin doesn’t mean zero pores or a flawless glow 24/7.

Healthy skin is calm, resilient, balanced, hydrated, and supported from the inside out.

So instead of aiming for “glass,” let’s aim for skin that feels comfortable, strong, and radiant in its own unique way.

Skin goals shouldn’t be about perfection but more about healthy, happy skin that’s uniquely you 🫶🏻

Happy first day of Spring!! 🤗 🌼 I think us Melburnians are especially excited as finally it’s time for our bones to defrost! 🥶

So let’s talk a bit about spring and specifically … 🤧 ALLERGIES and HAYFEVER 🫩 and while allergies can pop up any time of year, this season is their peak. Basically, histamine gets overexcited, think itchy throat, itchy eyes, runny nose, watery eyes, sneezing and can even make your skin red, itchy, and reactive too.

The good news? With the right foods, simple lifestyle tweaks, and a bit of natural support, you can calm your immune system, reduce histamine, and actually enjoy the outdoors and sunnier months ahead ☀️🪴🌳 🌼💛 🤧

In the treatment room my approach is always about curiosity and a more gentle approach to skin health.

Sometimes I begin with intensive repair and nourishment. Other times, when your skin’s barrier feels strong and healthy, I may introduce gentle refinement or more advanced treatments to support and encourage healthy skin renewal.

For me the key is always individualization not following the latest trend, but choosing what feels right for you and your skin in this moment.

Suffering from breakouts that just won’t budge? 😫

You’ve tried the skincare, the supplements, the treatments... but what if the issue isn’t on your skin? it’s in your blood! 🩸

Low iron levels can contribute to acne in ways you might not expect:

🦠 Weakening your immune system (hello, bacteria!)
⛔ Slowing wound healing and increasing scarring
😮‍💨 Exacerbating stress + cortisol spikes
🔥 Driving up inflammation

Iron deficiency is more common in women than you think and it doesn’t always show up with classic signs like fatigue.

Sometimes your skin tells the story first.

If you feel like your skin isn’t healing, your breakouts are getting worse, or you’re constantly run down, it might be time to explore what’s going on internally🕵️

True lasting change doesn’t happen from just one facial, herb or supplement.

It’s a cumulative shift built from consistency, whether it be daily nutrition, consistent sleep, movement, time in nature, moments of stillness, and choosing practices that regulate the nervous system.

Each small step may feel subtle, but together they create the foundation for better skin and better health.

So proud of this client and so grateful to be supporting her on her skin + wellness journey.

Thank you always for trusting me with your skin 🫶🏻

This might look like just a facial… but it’s so much more.

What you don’t see is the shift happening beneath the surface — her body has softened into deep parasympathetic rest, tension melting away as her nervous system exhales. Her mind is quiet, her breath steady.

This is skin therapy with intention 🫶🏻

There’s something really special about supporting someone through a skin journey in the lead-up to a meaningful life event.

When this client came to see me 5 months before her wedding, we took a considered, gradual approach — focusing on strengthening her skin barrier, reducing inflammation, and bringing balance back through consistent in-clinic treatments and supportive home care.

One thing I often see is the power of consistency.

Skin doesn’t change overnight, but when we give it the right environment to heal, both topically and internally, we begin to see real, lasting change.

And just as important as the physical improvements is the emotional shift — taking time to slow down, be cared for, and feel a sense of calm in the process.
