International Women’s Day felt like a good excuse to make this post entirely about me 😝

Slide one: me in my scrubs.
Slide two: the clinic at 25 Harley Street where I spend most of my working life caring for patients (most of them women).

And the rest?

The things that keep me well.

Colourful meals. Pilates and yoga. Fresh flowers in my kitchen. Clothes that make me happy. Trainers for long clinic days and getting around London, red heels for the fun ones. Very good food in very good restaurants. Finding moments of beauty and joy, even in the food I make.

For a long time I did what many women do, which is quietly (and sometimes begrudgingly) putting everyone else first. These days I’m trying to be a bit more deliberate about making space for the things that keep me healthy, calm and happy.

Not in a grand, Instagrammable way. You may or may not have noticed I am only checking in once per week since the start of the year.

It’s something I think about a lot with my patients too. Helping people feel comfortable being themselves, with their skin and in their lives. It’s about giving yourself permission to take up a bit of space in your own life 💪🏼

And that feels like a pretty good International Women’s Day message 🦋

When life gives you 🍋, look for the glimmers: this week I had less skiing than I hoped because the weather had other plans, but I did have blood oranges, board games, beautiful sunsets 🌅. And extra gratitude and joy when the sun did come out for one perfect afternoon 🌞 ⛷️

Work and play 🎿

Ate the rainbow, did Pilates (with my favourite cat Diva), read a book, saved some skin & now time for some snow, scenery & shoop shoop shoop ⛷️

The week that was….

Turned 44 (don’t feel as old as I thought 44 sounded when I was younger)
Felt the love from my clinic team, friends & fam 🌺
Theatre & dinner for date night ✨
Fed my gut bugs
Grounded myself through busyness & some bad news by sticking to my (skincare) routine
Looked for (and found) small sparks of joy, like flicking through the magazine looking for recipe inspiration, the smell of my body wash in the shower, sniffing my birthday flowers and admiring the colours every time I enter my kitchen 🍒
There was also rain (lots of it) and a leak in my kitchen (😭)

Life is busy and sometimes a little crazy & unpredictable, so I try to remember how much I love what I do….and why it matters 👉🏼 see slide from the British Society of Medical Dermatology meeting on Thursday. John Ingram was describing holistic medicine and the relevance of dermatology and skin health to our overall wellbeing decades before it became trendy.

There is still a long way to go. Less focus on adding more and more drugs to “close the gate after the 🐎 has bolted” and more focus on preventing skin diseases in the first place 🍎

What has inspired you (or stressed you out) this week? And have you noticed how it affects your skin? I’d love to hear 👂🏻

Pilates and yoga before clinic
Peanut butter breakfast bowls
More is more lunches
Finally got a pedicure and a haircut (& feel immeasurably better about life)
Reading my daughter a classic (offsetting screen time)
Spotted some magnolias blooming on the school run (far too early)
One out, one in (sold 10 year old ankle boots on Vinted, bought some new skiwear ⛷️ )
Spent my 44th birthday weekend eating like a 👑 with med school friends who are GPs by day, by night

This week’s highlights: getting my 30 plants a week in 🌱🍊🫐🥥 (see below for details), fermented things my gut appreciates, morning Pilates and coffee on repeat, one very rude spot that will not go away (documented for science) and proof that even when you feel rubbish, your daughter thinks you’re as magical as a mermaid 🧜‍♀️

Meal inspo:
🐟 Thai coconut fish curry
🐑 Lentil and veg shepherds pie
🍳 Sauerkraut frittata
🫛 Mixed grain and edamame salad with sauerkraut
🍎 My “everything” breakfast bowl - assorted fruit & berries, kefir, plain Greek yogurt, cinnamon, nutmeg, mixed roasted nuts, Daily 30

Twenty snapshots from a week that felt VERY full 🫣

Clinic days. School runs in a coat I love (even if it’s mostly seen in the mirror by the front door). Brought my yoga mat out of a 4 week retirement & have mainly been living in my yoga/ Pilates kit and scrubs.

The light creeping back into the mornings has been my favourite bit this week; walking my daughter to school in the sunrise, spotting blossom that feels worryingly premature but still very pretty. Tulips and daffodils doing their best to convince the kitchen (and me) that it’s spring now, actually 🦋🙃

Food-wise: lots of plants, lots of feeding people I love. A grainy, beany butternut squash meal that was genuinely excellent (see step by step construction photos with tahini-bean sauce, olive and chilli relish etc). So filling and totally delicious. Also the usual quiet mission of getting more plants into my daughter (because if I say it to patients all day, I have to at least try at home too).

My PTIOX serum ran out again (a small sadness in the context of everything else going on in the world 😔). It’s been quietly doing the heavy lifting for glow and hydration, so yes, it’s already been replaced. And yes, I keep telling patients it’s my secret weapon 😉

Work was busy. Life was busy. But I made moments for myself this week and I’m feeling good for it. Ask me about my sleepbuds if you’re on a similar quest for your best sleep ever 👇🏻

A bit of a life lately carousel (AKA random photos from my week so far)

Dark mornings = serious resistance to getting out of bed, but two before work Pilates classes done anyway (and always glad after 💫 ). Mirror selfies because… mirrors😉 & a new Charlotte Tilbury Unreal Blush Healthy Glow cheek stick I’m really enjoying (thank you to for the tip 👌🏼).

Trying to get back to feeding myself properly after the Christmas holidays: colourful breakfasts, natural yoghurt, fermented things (hello water kefir), broccoli cut and left to wait 40-90 minutes on the side before cooking after listening to .spector (apparently that’s a thing), plus a very good coffee, trout + soda bread lunch ♥️ ☕️

Remote clinic days = lightbox on full beam. In-clinic days = back with the team after Christmas, interviewing for a new role and easing gently into the year.

Also: sorting the bathroom shelf (deeply satisfying), a few outfits I liked and reminding myself that small, boring habits do actually add up.

And a very warm hello 👋 to any new faces who found me via the with this week - lovely to have you here.

Our story

Consultant Dermatologist Dr Justine Kluk is London's go-to expert for acne and acne scarring. Read here about her own journey with breakouts and how she can help you in her clinic.

“I get asked all the time about why I decided to become a dermatologist. The short answer is this. Acne. I started to get spots when I was about 12 years old. My dad bought me Clearasil and told me that I would grow out of it. He’d grown out of it when he was my age after all, but not before developing scarring on his cheeks which is still there today in his sixties. So, I used my facewash and sometimes a bit of toothpaste (or Sudocrem or whatever happened to be knocking about on the bathroom shelf for that matter) and patiently waited for it to go away.

Having grown up in South Africa, my mum was always very concerned about skin cancer. I remember very clearly, later on as a teenager, being taken to a dermatologist to have a mole on my right shoulder checked. When I sat down on the examination couch the first thing the specialist said to us was “Never mind the mole. What are you doing about her acne?” This was just the start of my lifelong battle with breakouts, and harsh as it sounded back then, I was relieved for the validation that this thing that was a source of real unhappiness to me was deserving of proper attention and that now we were really going to do something about it. This is where my fascination with skin health began and how my passion and determination to help others feel good about their skin started.

Acne is the medical term used to describe spots or breakouts. It is easily the most common skin concern there is, affecting as many as 85% of teens. Unfortunately, research shows that more and more of us are continuing to suffer with it in our twenties, thirties and beyond meaning that spots are definitely not just a teenage issue. In fact, it is estimated that up to 20% of adult women are still battling blemishes. When you think that acne can lead to scarring, poor self-image and loss of confidence, this amounts to a big problem. If you’ve suffered with persistent acne, you’ll recognise the feeling that your face never feels clean. No matter how much time or money you spend on grooming, you still feel like a spotty mess. You long to be one of those carefree people who wakes up 5 minutes before they need to leave the house in the morning. Instead, you have to put aside a full 30 minutes to try and painstakingly conceal each and every spot and you definitely need to get to the bathroom first if you have a new partner for fear that they might reject you if they knew what you really looked like.
