🌿 Skin issues start deeper than the surface

If your skin is showing signs of redness, breakouts, or chronic inflammation — it might be your gut calling for attention. Low stomach acid, sluggish digestion, or even severe gut dysbiosis (an imbalance of good vs. bad bacteria) can all trigger skin chaos.

Your skin is often the last place internal inflammation shows up — so while topical skincare and professional treatments play a vital role, they’re only one piece of the wellness puzzle. Sometimes, it takes a team — your holistic skin expert, a nutritionist, or a naturopath — to truly restore balance from the inside out.

✨ Remember: it’s never just one thing… find your tribe, support your gut, and your glow will follow.

Friday Fun Facts 🌟

Just one microneedling session can stimulate more collagen than your skin loses in an entire year — yes, really.

And while I do team it up with powerful clinical ingredients for next-level results, the action alone does all the hard yakka. It’s your fibroblasts doing overtime

— no fluff, no filters, just science doing what marketing can’t.

You’ve heard of Vitamin D for bone health, but did you know your skin relies on it too? Yep ….

Vitamin D does more than just boost your mood on sunny days. It’s actually a key player in how your skin functions, heals, and protects itself. Whether it’s coming from your diet or created in your skin via sunlight (UVB exposure), your body uses it in some surprising and powerful ways.

Let’s break it down:
✅ Keeps cell growth in check – so your skin doesn’t go into overdrive.
✅ Guides cells to mature properly – essential for healthy skin turnover.
✅ Strengthens your skin’s natural defence system – think fewer breakouts, better recovery.
✅ Supports your hair cycle – because healthy skin = healthy follicles.
✅ Plays a role in tumour suppression – yep, it’s even been linked to reducing certain skin cancer risks.

But here’s where it gets really interesting… Vitamin D3 helps regulate sebocytes – the cells responsible for your skin’s oil production. If you’ve ever struggled with acne or oily skin, this matters. Vitamin D3 can actually help calm down excessive sebum and inflammation.

👉 So if you’re working with clients battling acne or compromised skin health, understanding Vitamin D isn’t just helpful – it’s essential. This kind of insight changes how we treat skin. It’s not just about products or peels – it’s about what’s happening within.

TIP : Vit D -is only in the B rays ( 10-2pm). Not on 7 am walks …

🚩 5 Red Flags That Highlight a Barrier in Crisis

A skin barrier in crisis often presents with;

⚠️ Persistent redness and reactivity
⚠️ Tightness, dryness, or flaking despite “hydrating” products
⚠️ Increased sensitivity to ingredients or touch
⚠️ Slow healing and impaired recovery
⚠️ Breakouts or inflammation after active treatments

In an era of over exfoliation and constant product layering, barrier dysfunction has become one of the most common presentations in professional skin therapy.

As a Corneotherapist , I know that barrier integrity is the foundation of skin health. Every long term result begins with restoring and protecting this essential defense system.

Celebrities may set the trends — from glass skin to glazed doughnuts — but Corneotherapy doesn’t chase them.

While the beauty world jumps from one viral hack to the next, Corneotherapy stays grounded in science: repair, restore, and rebalance. It’s not influenced by marketing hype or social media filters — it’s guided by skin physiology and long-term health.

Facts over fads, always.

Where science meets skin transformation — now supercharged with exosomes.
If you’re battling the usual suspects — lines, wrinkles, pigmentation, rosacea, acne — and you’re done with band-aid solutions, it’s time to meet the gold standard in skin regeneration.
Collagen Induction Therapy (aka skin needling) creates controlled micro-injuries that stimulate your skin’s natural healing response. The result? A dramatic boost in collagen and elastin, leading to firmer, brighter, smoother, more resilient skin.
And now, Catherine Hottes has taken it to the next level.
Enter: biomimetic exosomes — the game-changing regenerative molecules that enhance communication between cells, accelerate healing, and amplify collagen production. When paired with needling, they deliver a surge of bioactive ingredients deep into the dermis, helping:
Reduce inflammation and redness (yes, even for rosacea-prone skin)
Speed up post-treatment recovery
Boost hydration, brightness and overall skin vitality
Strengthen the barrier function for long-term resilience

Clear Skin Isn’t a Cleanser Away:

A No-Nonsense Acne Chat with Catherine Hottes

Let’s get one thing straight—acne isn’t caused by dirty skin. But if we had a dollar for every time someone over-scrubbed their face into a red, flaky mess, we’d all be on a yacht.

We sat down with Catherine Hottes, skin health expert, barrier whisperer, and facialist to the frazzled, to clear up the confusion (and the congestion)………

✨ Acne Q&A – Teen & Adult Skin

Here are the top 5 questions I get:
1️⃣ Why do I still have acne as an adult?
2️⃣ Is it just caused by oily skin?
3️⃣ Does chocolate or dairy make it worse?
4️⃣ Do I just need stronger products?
5️⃣ Can it ever be fully healed?

👉 Main triggers: hormones, stress, medications, poor barrier health, diet & gut imbalance.

🚫 Trends + Myths to stop believing:

* Acne = dirty skin (false)
* Sun clears acne (false)
* Only teens get acne (false)
* Stronger skincare = better results (false)
* Tretinoin Fixes it …( Nope)
* Exfoliate 3x weekly ( hell no)
* Hope in a Jar - sold by sales girls or TickTock Trend

💡 The truth? Healthy skin begins with a healthy barrier.�
🌿 Pair this with naturopathic support, functional blood work, and lifestyle guidance, and we can uncover the deeper causes (hormones, nutrient deficiencies, inflammation). That’s where true skin healing begins.

✨ Acne doesn’t define you—your skin and confidence can thrive with the right approach.
