When introducing retinoids into your skincare routine...

⬇️ Start Low, Go Slow

When starting a retinoid, it's important to start with a low concentration and gradually increase it as your skin tolerates it.

☀️ Don't skip SPF

Retinoids can increase skin sensitivity to the sun, so it's crucial to use sunscreen daily, even on cloudy days.

🍌 Prepare to Peel

Retinoids can cause dryness, redness, peeling, and irritation. These side effects are often temporary and subside as your skin adjusts.

If you need a hand navigating skincare and retinoids, book a consultation and we can chat about your concerns and the best routine for you and your budget.

✨ Skin Analysis & Transformation Journey ✨

Back in June, this lovely patient came in for a skin analysis. She wanted to future-proof her skin and get expert advice after finding that her consistent high-street routine wasn’t giving her results.

🔍 What we found:

Slight oiliness in the T-zone with visible, congested pores
Signs of dehydration (oil/water imbalance)
Early signs that could lead to dullness or breakouts if left unchecked
Our focus: supporting her skin barrier, maintaining hydration, balancing oil, and boosting cellular renewal.

💡 During her consultation, we explored:

The difference between OTC vs. cosmeceutical-grade skincare
How UVA vs. UVB affect skin health (and ageing!)
Correct UV protection use (apply 30 mins before exposure & reapply every 2 hours 🌞)

✨ Her plan:

She began a tailored skincare routine using:
KH Skin Prepare
KH Skin C-10
KH Skin Quench
KH Skin Glow
KH Skin Recover
Heliocare Age Active

She also started a course of WOW Fusion treatments (6 planned, 1 completed so far).

➡️ Although best results come with a course, WOW Fusion is also perfect as a one-off treatment before special occasions for an instant skin refresh ✨

🌟 The results already: noticeable improvements in texture, pigmentation, pore size, congestion and hydration. She’s thrilled — and we’re just getting started!

This is a great example of how combining the right treatments with cosmeceutical-grade skincare can completely change the game for long-term skin health.

🍂 The Progressive Approach to Skin Renewal 🍂

When it comes to skin health, we don’t believe in a “one and done” peel. Instead, our protocols use a series of treatments, each one building on the last. This approach means:

✨ Greater, longer-lasting improvements
✨ Minimal downtime
✨ Safer results tailored to your skin

📆 Why now?
September marks the start of peel season — the optimal time to begin corrective treatments while UV exposure is lower. This gives your skin the best environment for healing and renewal.

🎄 Looking ahead to festive events?
To achieve glowing, visible results in time for the party season, your treatment series needs to begin by mid-October at the latest.

Now is the moment to commit to your skin — and by December, you’ll be ready to reveal a healthier, more radiant complexion. ✨

📅 Book your autumn consultation and let’s map out your skin journey.

✨ Skincare Myths: Busted ✨

With so much information (and misinformation) out there, it’s no wonder people feel overwhelmed when choosing the right products and routines. That’s why I wanted to tackle some of the most common myths I hear in clinic:

❌ Myth 1: Exfoliating daily is essential
❌ Myth 2: Expensive products are always superior
❌ Myth 3: “Clean” products are always best
❌ Myth 4: Age management skincare is a marketing ploy
❌ Myth 5: Oily skin doesn’t need moisturiser

👉 Swipe through to see why these aren’t true — and what you should be doing instead.

Your skin is unique, and so is the care it needs. 💆‍♀️

🍂 Why Autumn is the Perfect Time for Skin Renewal 🍂

During summer, our skin works hard to protect us from UV rays. Even with SPF, many people notice:

☀️ Pigmentation changes
☀️ Dull or uneven tone
☀️ Fine lines appearing more visible

Now that the days are cooler and sun exposure is reduced, autumn is the ideal season to begin corrective treatments like PCA Skin Peels.

✨ Here’s why:

Lower UV risk → treatments such as peels are safer and more effective when skin isn’t exposed to strong sunlight.
Skin repair window → giving skin time to renew before winter’s dryness sets in.
Better product absorption → exfoliation helps your skincare products pe*****te more effectively.

Think of it as planting the seeds now 🌱 so your skin can flourish with health and radiance in the months ahead.

📅 Book a consultation to explore tailored treatments and skincare plans for your autumn skin reset.

✨ Why Hygiene Matters in Aesthetics ✨

When having aesthetic treatments, your safety and skin health come first. That’s why maintaining exceptional hygiene during and after every procedure is so important as it helps protect against infection and ensures your skin heals in the best possible way.

In Clinic:

I use Clinisept+ Skin, a multi-award-winning, medical-grade cleanser that represents the gold standard in skin hygiene.

Here’s why it’s the best:

🌱 Harnesses advanced hypochlorous technology
🍃 Provides exceptional levels of hygiene while being gentle
🟢 Skin-neutral pH, free from alcohol, fragrance, and harsh chemicals
🌱 Leaves skin fresh, clean, and comfortable without irritation
🍃 Vegan and cruelty-free 💚

At Home:

After your treatment, your skin is more vulnerable. To protect it:
🌱 Keep the skin clean
🍃 Avoid touching the area unnecessarily.
🟢 Keep makeup, heavy skincare, or unclean environments away from treated skin for at least 24 hours.
💚 Follow the tailored aftercare advice given at your appointment.

✨ This is why leading professionals trust Clinisept+ and why I use it to prepare your skin for treatment, maintain the highest standard of hygiene throughout your procedure, and support you in keeping your skin safe at home afterwards.
