Summer is here 🔥
Time for some daily Mineral spf and hats when exposed to both UVA and+ UVB rays

28/11/2025

Did you know you have your very own personal “burn time”?

Yep. Your skin runs on its own timer — and when it’s up… it’s UP.

So let’s say you burn in 5 minutes with no protection.
Pop on an SPF 30 and boom — you’ve extended that to 150 minutes (2.5 hours).

But here’s the part no one tells you:
Once your burn time is DONE for the day, it’s DONE.
You can't “reapply your way out of it.”

It’s like cooking a chicken — once it’s cooked, it’s cooked.
Take it out… put it back in… guess what?
🔥 It still burns.
Same deal with your skin.
That’s why daily SPF is non-negotiable — especially a good mineral one.

Enter: Mineral Pro

Your skin’s ride-or-die.
A physical blocker with 21.5% Zinc Oxide, Kakadu Plum, and all the barrier-loving goodness your face deserves.

✔ Safe for ALL skins, ALL ages, ALL Fitzpatrick types
✔ Doubles as the perfect primer under foundation
✔ Comes in tinted + untinted
✔ Fan favourite for a reason
✔ Feels and smells deliciously divine

If sunscreen had a gold standard, this would be it. My top picks for a smooth skin safe summer Xch 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

It’s time for a facial that does more than fluff your ego and mist your face.

This is clinical-grade care wrapped in holistic ritual — a results-driven experience backed by over 30 years in inflammatory skin health (which, by the way, includes almost every skin condition… yes, even pigment).

And if you need receipts?

Just look at Catherine’s reviews and her jaw-dropping before & afters. Lane Cove’s inflammation queen has the skin wins to prove it.
Catherine’s approach isn’t copy-paste. It’s precision corneotherapy, tailored to your biology, your barriers, and what your skin is actually doing on the day you walk in. Acne, rosacea, perioral dermatitis, menopause skin, congestion, redness, dullness, pigmentation — she reads skin like a diagnostic map and treats it accordingly.
Every session is carefully curated and custom-sequenced ..

This isn’t just about walking out “glowy.”
This is about restoring your skin’s integrity, calming inflammation at a cellular level, and helping you feel like yourself again — grounded, radiant, and in control of your skin health.

Your skin deserves expertise, not experiments. Let’s get it back on track.✨

🌞 Holistic Sun Protection �Protect Today, Preserve Tomorrow

Prevention Through Education 💫
�Did you know that up to 95% of skin cancers are preventable? (Cancer Institute NSW, 2025). With Australia’s high UV index, understanding sun protection isn’t optional—it’s essential. Catherine is committed to educating our community on how daily, consistent sun habits can transform long-term skin health.

The Truth About SPF💫
�Sunscreen is not a summer product. It’s a daily protective step that supports your skin year-round. UV rays pe*****te clouds, windows, and even short commutes, which is why morning application is non-negotiable. Catherine’s preferred Australian-made mineral SPFs are lightweight, reef-safe, and designed for everyday wear so protection becomes effortless.

What Sun Protection Really Means💫
�True sun safety extends far beyond sunscreen. It’s a layered, holistic approach—seeking shade, wearing UPF-rated clothing, choosing wide-brimmed hats, and being mindful of peak UV hours. The well-known “Slip, Slop, Slap, Seek, Slide” framework remains one of the most effective ways to reduce skin cancer risk across all ages.

Balancing Sun Protection & Vitamin D💫
�Whilst Vitamin D is essential for our overall health, it’s important to understand that your body can only activate it when UVB rays are present—typically between 10am and 2pm. Brief, sensible exposure during these hours can support healthy Vitamin D levels while still prioritising long-term skin protection. It’s never about avoiding the sun entirely—it’s about being informed, intentional, and balanced.

🆘Ps- Your VIT D should score well over 💯 for optimal health..

A Holistic Approach to Skin Health💫
�Catherine’s 30+ years in professional skincare have shown that UV exposure is one of the biggest contributors to pigmentation, collagen breakdown, inflammation, and premature ageing. The good news? With education and consistent habits, this damage is largely preventable.
“Sun is the skin’s greatest enemy,” Catherine says, “but with the right approach, it becomes the easiest enemy to outsmart.”

Your Future Skin Will Thank You
🙏 �Sun protection should feel good, look good, and support your skin’s long-term health—not just for today, but for future generations. Taking small, consistent steps now creates stronger, healthier, more resilient skin tomorrow.

Let’s talk Vitamin C……..

I had a look at a bunch of $50–$150 vitamin C serums at popular pharmacys and beauty stores

Here’s what I found:
�🙄Most were in clear or dropper bottles – great for marketing, terrible for vitamin C stability. Oxidises almost on every skin…
�🙄Fragrance and essential oils were high on the ingredient list – not ideal for rosacea, acne or pigment-prone skins.
�🫣Almost none explained their pH, stability testing or showed real clinical data – just words like “glow” and “radiance”.
Just because a serum is expensive and sits on a glossy shelf doesn’t make it clinical, stable or barrier-friendly.

Price doesn’t equal performance.”

If you’re serious about results (pigment, ageing, collagen), you want:�• Correct form of vitamin C for your skin�• Stabilised formulation and smart packaging�• No fragrance�• Backed by science, 🧬not just shelf appeal

That’s where a professional skin consultation comes in – I help you choose what actually works for your skin, not what’s simply well-marketed

🧿ps- My Kickass brightening Vitamin C serum packs a punch .
Clinicaly made to deliver 100% efficacy as its in a vaccum sealed , enviromentalyfriendly recyclable bottle …. Also its $99 bucks . 💣

70 YEARS YOUNG… AND SERVING SKIN GOALS ✨

Pigment brighter. Texture smoother. Lines softer.

This is what happens with consistency!

Age doesn’t dim results — habits do.
Ready for some truth bombs?

😵‍💫Here are 6 reasons you’re not getting results like this… yet:

Why Your Skin Isn’t Changing (But Could Be):

🌟You sleep like a stressed pigeon
🌟Poor sleep = increased inflammation, sluggish cell repair, and cranky pigment cells.
🌟Your food is beige and your skin is paying for it
🌟Sugar + processed foods = glycation, inflammation, flare-ups and dullness.
🌟You “forget” to use your prescribed products
If they stay on your shelf, they don’t touch your skin… meaning no change.
🌟You treat sunscreen like it’s optional
🌟It’s not. UV = pigment activation, collagen breakdown, redness. Every. Single. Day.
🌟You go rogue and skip your Skin Health Guide
🌟Consistency beats chaos. Your sequence exists for a reason — science, not vibes.
🌟Your treatment spacing is… chaotic
Leaving months between treatments is like going to the gym once every season.
🌟You want results, but not the lifestyle shift
🌟Your skin reflects your inside world — hydration, stress, hormones, gut.
You rely on quick fixes instead of a plan
Great skin is strategy + supervision, not guesses and gimmicks.
If a 70-year-old can brighten, lift and glow like this…
so can you — with the right guidance, sequence, and consistency

Book your Skin Health Blueprint or Assessment and let’s get your skin behaving. ✨
