Melanin is created in the basal layer of the Epidermis by the melanocytes, not at the surface in the Stratum Corneum.
So if this is the case, why is the industry so preoccupied with treating the surface?
If your treatment plan doesn’t consider the process behind how pigment is produced, then how can you hope to work to effectively alleviate it?
I recently taught the Science of Hyperpigmentation at my live Corneotherapy Connect UK event and due to numerous requests, I’m going to run the training online for those who couldn’t make it.
So, if you’d like to truly understand Hyper-pigmentation and how to treat from a Corneotherapeutic perspective, this training is for you.
Just comment below, and I’ll keep you in the loop.

Real change comes from understanding the skin itself. When you know how the epidermis works, you can make informed decisions that truly support skin health.
It’s with this in mind that I created my course - Epidermal Skin Health., a Corneotherapist’s essential guide.
Designed to help build on your skin science foundations, you’ll feel your confidence soar.
There’s no better feeling, I assure you!

Consultations Count!!!
In fact, they are THE most important part of any skin health journey because we can only really help a skin when we truly understand what is going on inside and out.
By spending time asking the right questions, we can look beyond the symptoms and put steps in place to address the causes.
It’s exciting and rewarding to solve the puzzle and ultimately help our clients with their long term skin health.
Afterall , that’s why we’re here.
So how thorough is your consultation process? Could it use a little work?
DM if I can help.

Our industry is obsessed with exfoliation, encouraging therapists to promote it at every opportunity to accelerate cell turnover.
From chemical peels to microdermabrasion to dermaplaning and the incessant use of AHAs, BHAs and scrubs. Mechanical or physical, you just can’t seem to escape it.
But does the skin really need this level of constant exfoliation? The truth is, no!
In fact, it can do more harm than good, compromising the skin’s barrier and ultimately damaging your clients’ skin health.
There really is a better way, and that’s Corneotherapy.
Corneotherapy offers a progressive, restorative approach that nurtures a healthy keratinocyte life cycle. By supporting the natural functions of the epidermis, it allows the skin to desquamate itself without the need for constant intervention.
This is what true skin therapy should look like.

Corneotherapy is most definitely not a trend, it’s in fact a SCIENCE!
It’s been with us since the 60’s and is gathering momentum amongst those doctors, dermatologists and therapists who want to care for skin in a holistic and functional way, just like Mother Nature intended.
For me, I questioned the harsh treatments and ingredients that were being normalised by modern aesthetics. I listened to my intuition.
Do you also find yourself starting to question?
I’d love to hear your thoughts….

As skin professionals, we hopefully know that what presents at the surface is often the symptom, not the cause. The visible layer is a reflection of complex processes taking place beneath , from barrier function to cellular communication, lipid synthesis, and immune regulation.
Corneotherapy works from this deeper perspective. It prioritises the integrity of the stratum corneum and the skin barrier as the first line of defence, recognising that sustainable skin health relies on preserving and supporting these structures rather than compromising them.
When treatment strategies focus solely on correcting what we see, we risk overlooking the underlying dysfunction and in doing so, may perpetuate the very conditions we aim to resolve. A corneotherapeutic approach considers both the visible presentation and the unseen physiological processes, ensuring interventions are in alignment with the skin’s biology.
It’s an intelligent way to treat the skin. Do you agree?

Traditionally, we’ve been taught to categorise skin into types. It’s a neat system, but it’s also a misleading one.
The perception could be that a skin is sensitive, but it could in fact be sensitised? And what about dry skin, is it water dry or lipid dry? And is it really oily skin, or is it the skin trying to rebalance itself as a consequence of stripping or harsh ingredients ?
You see it really isn’t as black and white as the industry and the brands would have you believe.
As Corneotherapists, we don’t put skin in boxes. We observe, we investigate, and we ask why.
So instead of fitting skin into boxes, we look at the bigger picture, so we can give the skin what it needs in the here are and now.
Skin types or skin needs? Which camp are you?

Skin therapists all around the globe are taking my skin education course to gain confidence and a deeper understanding of how the epidermis functions.
When we’re armed with knowledge, we can go beyond the protocols to think for ourselves and give the skin the support it actually needs to thrive.

A skin health first approach is just common-sense.
Read the skin in front of you and give it everything it needs to function optimally.

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..
