Jumping on the 2016 trend…
2016 was a big year for me in a lot of ways but my camera roll is basically just full of photos of the kids. Funny thing is that now it’s all work photos and I forget to take photos of them.

Aesthetics moves fast and there are always new products becoming available. New doesn’t always mean better but having more options can mean that our patients can be given more individualised, specific treatments designed to meet their goals and needs.

There are too many products on the market for every practitioner to have every product available but what’s most important is that we have enough tools and enough expertise in each of them to meet the patient’s needs and achieve the results we want.

In general, the practitioner is more important than the product in achieving your goals.

I’ve been impressed with each of these products which will be available in Australia in early 2026. In my opinion, they each offer something different to the options we already have on the Australian market.

This information is not a recommendation. It is for educational purposes only and working out what the best treatment is for each person is determined by numerous factors. The best option is to see your practitioner for a thorough assessment and consultation rather than seek out specific treatments.

At this time of year, I just like to slow down a bit, spend time with my kids and try to renew my energy levels before I hit the ground running again.

But with it being 30 years since I left school, the beginning of a new year and hitting 20K followers (thank you), I wanted to share a few things about myself and how I got here.

Thanks for joining me on the ride. I can’t wait to share some exciting things I’ve been working on in 2026!

If you see this at the beach, it might be me. Or one of my kids 🤯

I don’t routinely use, or recommend eye creams. Skincare products for the face can safely be used (by most people) around the eyes, so in most cases there’s no real need for another product.

But the main reason I don’t recommend them is that people usually want an eye cream to solve issues that can’t be fixed with a cream… eye bags, dark circles, skin laxity and deep lines… sadly can’t be fixed with an cream 😢

Saggy earlobes?

Prevention is better than cure but if your earlobes are saggy, there might be a simple fix with some dermal filler. If not then a simple surgical procedure can rejuvenate your lobes!

Don’t forget your sunscreen.

And for those that will ask:
tinted sunscreen
ColourStay concealer
Ski High lashes (mini size)
lip liner and brow pencil
ColourStay Stain Ink lipstick

Protect yourself from premature ageing 365 days of the year!

High SPF, broad-spectrum sunscreen. Protective clothing like hats and gloves can also be used in the car. And don’t leave the sunroof open!
