The Corneotherapy Consultant™
Reimagining functional skin health with True Corneotherapy.

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.
Nothing more and nothing less…Simple!!
Feel free to share.

What a day!
Thank you to everyone who joined me for Corneotherapy Connect UK 💛
You were an inspired group of Corneotherapists and friends of Corneotherapy who truly understand the power of community, connection and collective experience!
You showed up with open minds and generous hearts, ready to learn, challenge, share and grow. Whether you’re just starting your corneotherapeutic journey or have been championing this approach for years, your presence and contribution made the day exactly what it was meant to be, collaborative, supportive and enpowering.
It was so good, we’re going to do it again.
Want to join us? Let me know and I’ll keep you in the loop

It seems like a subtle nuance, but it sets corneotherapy apart, because when we think about what we can do ‘for’ skin, we start to think about how we can best support it in its natural function.
And for us this means the 3 R’s:
Repair, Replenish, Regenerate.
Repair:
By restoring the skin’s outer defences (the acid mantle, stratum corneum and lipid bilayers), we protect the internal environment and create the foundation for healing.
Replenish:
Targeted support through nutrients and hydration, supports the extracellular and intracellular environments.
Regenerate:
With a stable, nourished epidermis, we can begin to support the dermis, whilst still respecting and preserving the integrity of the epidermis.
Smart right?
If this concept is new to you, you may find my Habia endorsed course enlightening.
Those of you who work this way, tell me why it’s the difference that makes the difference.

Feeling reflective this evening after a fab day at yesterday.
This industry has given me the most fulfilling, far-reaching career, full of twists, turns and a fair few trends that came and went.
But the one thing that has always remained constant is the amazing people I’ve met along the way.
There are some truly brilliant individuals in this space, generous, talented, and genuinely supportive. We don’t compete with each other, instead we share a common goal to raise standards, share knowledge and move the industry forward…together.
If you’re here for collaboration over competition tag someone in the industry who inspires you.

In corneotherapy, we aim to preserve, restore, and strengthen the epidermis, never to remove or damage it.
Corneotherapists question the logic of compromising the skins natural defence systems.
Instead, corneotherapy supports non-invasive, regenerative approaches that work with, not against the skin’s biology.
Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should!
What are your thoughts?

It’s okay to be a square peg in a round hole.
You’re not alone.
We might be niche, but we truly care about skin…and I see you!
Keep going, word is spreading, and if you haven’t already found the community over in The Corneotherapy Circle™️, come and join us.

Far from a passive outer shell, skin is dynamic, intelligent and responsive. It’s an organ that is connected to the rest of the body and its systems. It senses, defends, communicates and adapts.
Yet so much of the skincare industry still treats it as something to be stripped, scrubbed or suppressed.
As if function doesn’t matter. As if it’s just there to look good.
Corneotherapy on the other hand, cares about skin and its function. It respects the skin’s innate ability to recalibrate itself given the right circumstances.
Skin needs a considered approach (less is usually more). It’s us that need more, more knowledge that is, because when you know better, you do better.
Are there any areas of skin function you lack confidence in?

There’s nothing more powerful than knowledge you can actually use.
When you truly understand skin, how it functions, how it responds, how it protects…you can stop guessing and start making a real difference.
The best kind of education? The kind that transforms how you work, day in and day out, with every client who walks through your door.
💭 Are you confident in your skin knowledge, or could it do with a boost?

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..
