Easy handbag friendly daily top ups for both your children and you…. If you’ve ever struggled to reapply sunscreen on wriggling kids or during a busy day out this might be your new go to. My review….. pros and cons below… the science!

This SPF 50+ PA++++ sun stick offers very high broad-spectrum protection, with a strong PA rating that reflects excellent UVA defence, ideal for preventing long-term sun damage and pigmentation.

Formulated with silica and herbal extracts, it gives a soft matte finish, making it suitable for oily or breakout prone skin. It’s vegan, cruelty free and uses a non greasy, non comedogenic base.

My drawbacks are it’s not water or sweat resistant, so I wouldn’t rely on it as a main sunscreen……. especially if swimming or sweating, but it works well for quick daily top-ups throughout day. I’ve personally found it really handy while in Greece, especially when I start to feel the sun mid afternoon. And I want to get my kids to quickly top up whist having lunch in the sun…. It allows for a fast, mess free reapplication without using my hands (which sticky sunscreen hands is my only holiday bugbear 😤😆)

The stick glides on easily, doesn’t leave a white cast thank you lovely and layers fairly well over bare skin. However, the added fragrance is noticeable and could be an issue for sensitive skin or those prone to irritation.

Price ranges from £11 to £18 in the UK pretty sure I paid £11 from Boots.

It’s a convenient, handbag-friendly SPF top up stick with high UVA protection and a skin-friendly finish, just not your go-to for heavy sun exposure or water activities.

Following on from my last post… this product may be a cult favourite, but it’s not always the best choice for every skin type.

That high 10% strength sounds impressive, but for many (actually most), it can actually lead to increased sensitivity, irritation or inflammation rather than helping your skin.

If you’re noticing redness, breakouts, or a compromised skin barrier after introducing this serum… your skin might be telling you it’s too much.

Remember, more isn’t always better in skincare. Clinical studies show Niacinamide is effective at 2–5% and contradicts anything higher….. so stick to this to see results without overwhelming your skin.

If you’re experiencing irritation, it might be time to scale back or switch to a gentler alternative.

But if you’ve already bought it and don’t want to waste it

Try this: Mix a few drops with your hyaluronic acid serum or moisturiser to dilute the strength. This makes it gentler and less likely to cause a reaction.

Remember: consistency and tolerance matter more than percentages!

With over 16 years in the skincare industry, my mission has always been to make science led skincare education accessible, empowering and real.

Being part of this Accelerator Clinic was a truly amazing experience that aligned perfectly with this purpose and my vision of where I believe beauty should be and how I want to position myself in an industry I’ve always felt so passionate about and one that has always absolutely fascinated me.

The clinic brought together a powerful mix of industry leaders, mentors and rising change makers……. and I was proud to be part of a space so deeply rooted in connection, honesty and representation.

I also met some incredible peers, founders, marketers, creatives all bringing bold ideas and shared passion for a more inclusive, transparent beauty industry.

The future of beauty is collaborative, informed and more inclusive than ever. I’m proud to be part of it!

Confused by skincare ingredients? You’re not alone.
Labels can be overwhelming! But, understanding what’s inside your products can completely change how your skin responds and helps you buy smart!

Every ingredient has a purpose

Don’t be scared off by complicated or “chemical sounding” names, believe me they’re not necessarily bad. In fact, many of them are safe, effective and well researched……… But not every ingredient is suited to every skin type, and that’s where the confusion often begins.

With 16 years in the skincare industry and a passion for simplifying ingredients, I help you cut through the noise……. so you can shop smarter, feel more confident and get results that actually work for your skin

Let’s make skincare simple again

A cheesy post from me! 😬 But someone captured this moment of me swooping in to give my friend a kiss, a little blurry, totally unposed but full of heart. It’s one of those shots that reminds me how powerful friendship is.

Our skin tells our story. When we’re stressed, it shows. But so does joy, through glow, softness and ease. That’s why laughter, late-night chats and deep connection matter. Friendship isn’t just good for the soul……. it’s good for the skin too.

Science backs it: chronic stress can alter our DNA expression (epigenetics), break down collagen, and disrupt our skin barrier literally changing how our skin ages.

But laughter, love and emotional safety help reverse that. Oxytocin and endorphins reduce cortisol, support skin repair, and protect our structure at a cellular level.

So I’m calling this a glow-up, powered by friendship. ✨💛

After 16 years in the industry, I’m incredibly proud to share that I am now a fully qualified Cancer Care Skin Specialist.

My journey began as a Medical Micropigmentation Practitioner, where I discovered a true passion for skin health and helping others feel their best. Over the years, that passion has deepened into a mission which is to provide safe, nurturing skincare support for all and particularly those going through some of life’s most challenging moments.

With this new qualification, I can now confidently:

Recommend safe skincare products tailored for those undergoing or recovering from treatment

Offer gentle, healing facials before, during, and after cancer therapy

Support skin health with compassion, knowledge, and evidence-based care

Work side by side with your oncologist or care provider to ensure all treatments are aligned with your medical journey

If you or someone you love is undergoing cancer treatment and looking for specialist skincare support, I’m here to help, each and every step of the way.

Please feel free to reach out for more information or to book a consultation. Debs xx

When working with models, I know their skin goes through a lot, long hours, lots of travel, heavy makeup and constant touch ups.

I use clinical grade skin prep to create the perfect base to enhance makeup that lasts under lights……. and not only that it helps skin bounce back after long days and big events. Every treatment I offer is completely tailored.

The ultimate goal for me is strong, luminous skin that holds makeup beautifully and recovers fast

Tired of skincare guesswork? My Bespoke Skin Consultations are designed to decode your skin using a results driven, evidence based approach.

Here’s what’s included:

• Comprehensive skin analysis
We assess your skin type, barrier health, hydration levels, inflammation, and visible conditions like acne, rosacea or pigmentation.

• Full review of your current skincare
We’ll break down each product: the ingredients, their functions, and whether they support or disrupt your skin’s needs.

• Custom treatment plan
A curated skincare routine tailored to your skin’s biology, including key actives like niacinamide, ceramides, peptides, AHAs/BHAs or retinoids (when appropriate).

• Ingredient education
Learn why your skin reacts the way it does. I’ll explain the mechanisms of ingredients, from barrier repair to cellular turnover, so you understand what you’re using, and why it works.

• A personalised booklet
Your full plan in visual format: product list, application order, usage frequency, and active ingredient explanations, all designed to support long-term skin health.

This is skin science, simplified, so you can feel confident not confused about your routine.

A clinical study published in the Journal of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (2008), showed that just four sessions of micro-needling (also known as collagen induction therapy) led to up to a 400% increase in collagen and elastin production over six months.

This powerful treatment creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin, activating your body’s natural healing response. The results? Visibly firmer, smoother, and more youthful skin with a noticeable reduction in:

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Acne scars and stretch marks
• Enlarged pores
• Pigmentation
• Uneven texture and tone

It’s safe, minimally invasive and works with your skin, not against it! Great for those who want to avoid going down the injectables route.
