Here’s one of my sayings that I’ve lived and died by as a skin therapist and one that sums up corneotherapy in nutshell.
Who hasn’t had a client who thought the answer to their flaky, rough, dehydrated skin was to relentlessly exfoliate! Trapping them in a viscous cycle of symptoms that were misunderstood.
Do you have any sayings of your own?

You can invest in every new technology and brand on the market, but without knowledge, it means nothing.
Knowledge is your greatest power. It gives you confidence, authority and the ability to think critically about the skin in front of you.
When you invest in understanding why the skin behaves as it does, you elevate not just your results, but the standards of our entire industry.
Own your power!
Epidermal Skin Health – A Corneotherapist’s Essential Guide is a great foundation for that understanding.
How important is knowledge to you?

Peeling is sold as a way to boost cell turnover to reveal fresh new skin, but why would we need to do this 🤔 when renewal happens naturally!
Indeed, it’s a process the skin manages autonomously without intervention, given the right set of circumstances.
Speeding it up might sound like a good idea, but to do so undermines the differentiation of the strata which ultimately lead to a viable skin barrier.
In addition, peeling strips away said skin barrier… the very thing the skin needs to protect itself.
Therefore, I urge you to really consider the justification for peeling.
Is it not preferable to slow things down, and support the skin whilst it recalibrates. Afterall, if you are seeing symptoms, there is some form of dysfunction.
It’s our job, to find it.
This is a much more productive way to treat skin. Wouldn’t you agree?

I love mentoring individuals prepared to step up and make bold moves to push the needle in their business, Andrea Castillo is one such person. She is dedicated, determined and resolute about creating a business on her terms.
Las Vegas you are lucky to have her!
If mentoring is something you’d like to explore, let’s have a chat. Feel free to DM me now to start the conversation.

A wonderful couple of days at in Manchester. I’m genuinely sad to say goodbye to this show, but our industry is dynamic and ever-evolving.
I’m leaving exhausted and hoarse (always a sign of a good show), but grateful for the chance to connect with so many industry colleagues.
Whether or not they share my passion for corneotherapy or not, there’s a mutual respect and a united desire to build a better industry and support one another, which I love.
I’ve noticed the word corneotherapy being used more and more in our industry. On the one hand this is fantastic news, as the term is obviously gaining recognition. But on the other, it raises concerns.
Why?
Corneotherapy isn’t a trend to jump on. It’s not a marketing term to make treatments sound more appealing. It’s in-fact a skin science that commands understanding and respect.
If you’re going to use the word corneotherapy in your clinic or your marketing, please fully educate yourself first. Learn the principles, understand the practices and apply them with integrity. Otherwise, what you’re offering is not true corneotherapy, it’s a dilution!

Retail is a great way to make extra revenue in your clinic, but so many of you are uncomfortable retailing and that’s because you are viewing it as a transaction, not a service.
To not recommend your client uses the right skincare regimen at home is to actually do them a disservice!
80% of what they need to do comes down to what they do for themselves at home and that includes investing in the right skincare.
We know corneotherapy works, but if our client keeps doing their own thing, we cannot guarantee positive change.
So remember, you are not selling products. You are recommending a solution for the health of their skin and their concerns.
Afterall, your professional expertise is why they sought you out!
This is something we’ll be discussing at 𝘊𝘰𝘳𝘯𝘦𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘱𝘺 𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘤𝘵 𝘜𝘒 on 3rd November. Come join us…link in bio

In the beauty industry there is a growing trend towards more advanced treatments. As an aesthetician with a keen interest in skin function and skincare it too is a direction I have followed. However, your skin health has and always will be at the forefront of the treatments I offer and those I will actually perform on you!
Your skin has a barrier for a reason, it is, its natural defence and quite frankly and in my opinion this trend to throw everything at a skin in one hit overworks it leaving it overly compromised!!
As a professional I will not be led by you! I will only guide you towards the advanced arena, if I think it will be of benefit to your skin.
A gentle, less is more approach is my preferred methodology and realistically managing your expectations is key.
Having been in this industry for 30 years many beauty fads have come and gone....and generally if it seems to good to be true, it usually is!
With every treatment I offer I consider it’s efficacy. It needs to sit well with my personal and business ethics and I make sure I am suitably qualified and insured to deliver it to you!
There are no quick fixes with me, we will look at you, your skin and your lifestyle as a whole in a bid to take you on a journey to strong, healthy skin.
If my philosophy resonates with you, let's work together. I look forward to seeing you soon..
