If you have acne, sunscreen isn’t optional. ☀️
About 23% of people with acne develop post-acne dark marks and these marks can last years after the pimple itself has gone.

UV exposure makes those marks darker and more stubborn, which is why daily sunscreen is one of the most important steps in acne care.

The trick? Choose a sunscreen that works with your acne routine, not against it.
Look for:�✔ Gel textures�✔ Oil-control formulas�✔ Lightweight, non-comedogenic protection

Protect your skin today so those breakouts don’t leave a mark tomorrow.

Do all skin tones heal from acne in the same way???

Spoiler; they don’t!
Post acne marks are one of the most debilitating consequences of acne.

They long outlive the acne impacting on one’s quality of life.

Traditionally we focussed on treating acne and then addressing the sequelae.

But Dermopure clinical triple action corrective fluid contains patented to get to work on those while also helping to control .

My takeaways from the Melanoma Society of South Africa’s Skin Cancer Symposium this wknd.

A meeting of local and international dermatologists, plastics surgeons and radiation oncologists.

Do any of these surprise you?

treated us to a new look on acne with the relaunch of the Dermopure range.

A range formulated to not only unclog pores and prevent acne but a range which also supports the barrier, limits inflammation and targets post acne marks with their incredible technology.

I had way too much fun with this one, but the message at the core remains serious one to ensure optimal outcomes and really restore skin confidence 🤍

Acne isn’t just a “spot” — it’s an inflammatory event 🔥
And popping it? That only fuels the fire.
More inflammation = higher risk of post-acne marks that can linger for months (or longer).

So what can you do???
Tadaaah: My pimple management protocol:
🫧 Effaclar Cleanser – cleanses without stripping the skin barrier
💧 Effaclar Duo +M – daily moisturiser that targets breakouts and post-acne marks
🩹 Pimple patch – stops picking before it starts
☀️ Anthelios UVMune Invisible Fluid – mattifies skin and protects against UV-induced dark marks

Treat the inflammation. Protect the skin. Skip the pop.

has quickly established itself as the spot for premium skincare shopping but what I didn’t know is how highly they value consumer education.

Trained somatologists assist in the skincare department and trained makeup artist in the makeup department & they’ve embarked on masterclasses to their customers to improve knowledge and customer experience in store!

Today was so much fun- white board and all as I got the participants to write down their routines with their skincare goals and concerns before we kicked off.

We then had a whirlwind tour through acne and hyperpigmentation to circle back to their routines hopes and goals- safe to say there were a few changes that had to be made by the end 💙

Exosomes = one of the most exciting frontiers in regenerative skincare — but what are they really, and why do they matter?

Exosomes are tiny cell messengers packed with growth factors, peptides, and signaling molecules that help support skin renewal, repair, and visible rejuvenation. When used topically in advanced formulations, they can help enhance resilience, improve the look of firmness, and support healthier-looking skin over time.

Introducing Dermalogica Phyto Nature E² — a next-gen formula designed to help energize skin, support recovery from environmental stress, and amplify visible revitalization results. Think: smarter signaling, not just surface treatment.

Regenerative science is no longer just clinical — it’s becoming part of daily professional skincare.

Save this for your next skin science deep dive, and check if exosome-support skincare is right for your routine. 🧬✨
