If you’re new to , this is where I want you to start!

I created these Transformation Kits based on the 4 steps that underpin every Dr Sam’s routine, born in the clinic from the protocols I use on my patients to achieve bright, clear skin.

Which kit will you try - Clarity Kit or Radiance Kit?

When I think about what I learnt from my mum over the years, it’s not one big lesson - it’s a collection of little things that shaped me over time.

She genuinely feels other people’s feelings. That empathy is what makes her such a good listener and growing up around that had a huge impact on me.

She’s always had high standards too - she loved great food, fashion and beauty, a bit of glamour and she cared about quality and details. I can see now how much that shaped my own eye and even how I’ve built my brand.

If it has a tail and whiskers, she loves it. Her softness for animals is endless. She’s never happier than when working for charity to promote animal welfare.

And she’s mischievous and fun, always ready for a dance, never taking herself too seriously. Her zest for life is utterly infectious.

These days, I’m usually the one dragging her up a mountain, to the gym or into some new form of “personal development” - which she objects to loudly, but I suspect secretly enjoys. I just want us to have as many amazing experiences as possible. I think (hope!?) she knows it always comes from a good place!

Happy Mother’s Day to all the mums, mother figures and caregivers who show up with love in so many ways 🤍

Save this 📌 for when those stubborn bumps appear!

Closed comedones - those stubborn skin-coloured bumps that never come to a head - are one of the most frustrating types of acne.

After 20 years of treating acne, this is the advice I give every patient:

1) A retinoid at night is non-negotiable for prevention
2) Azelaic acid + salicylic acid help clear existing clogged pores
3) Protect your skin barrier - irritated, clog-prone skin clogs more easily
4) Skip longwear foundation
5) Skip powder and setting sprays
6) Avoid extractions and treat the root cause
7) Cleanse after haircare to avoid conditioner clogging pores
8) Be patient - clearing closed comedones takes 3–6 months

Do you struggle with closed comedones?

Swipe 👉 for my four pillars of skin longevity - the last one might surprise you…
Does the term skin longevity seem intimidating? Worried you’re not doing enough? Let me put your mind at ease!

When I talk about longevity, I’m talking about the processes that decide how your skin functions over time - how it repairs, how it protects itself and how much energy it has.
Remember - your skin has the innate wisdom to fix itself, provided it has the right building blocks to begin with.

And the best part? If we start making these changes now, we can actually prevent or mitigate the signs of aging rather than waiting to tackle them when they appear later on.

Save this 📌 as your starting point. It’s NEVER too late to take control of your skin’s future.

After the two busiest weeks, my brain felt like it needed a hard reboot. So I did what I always do when I feel myself tipping into overwhelm…I took a circuit breaker.

For me, that meant a few quiet days in Norway - cold air, wide horizons and pace slow enough for my thoughts to finally catch up with me. Sometimes wellness isn’t a routine or a ritual. It’s simply stepping out of your own life long enough to see it clearly again.
This is what reset me.

What’s your idea of a circuit breaker? I’d love to know - we all need one more than we think.
