This month I’m getting down, dirty and a little bit personal, opening my bathroom cabinet with a peek inside my personal skin care toolbox, with a little too revealing of my no fuss, no muss approach to skin care. As a Dermal Clinician and skin health professional I’m sharing my daily skin care diary […]
The warmer months are when we’re more likely to see and feel the dry bumpy, sandpaper-like skin that flags the skin condition keratosis pilaris. Summer can be an embarrassing time for sufferers, and is when we’re more likely to notice the dry, sometimes itchy and inflamed bumps that resemble chicken skin; although the colder, drier […]
‘Pearls are always appropriate’ Jackie O They maybe, when stranded around your neck and teamed with your favourite Chanel jacket but when these small persistent pearl-like bumps randomly appear around your eyes or cheeks, somehow I don’t think they’ll define you as being fashion forward! Often confused with white heads or pimples, milium or when […]
Don’t be fooled by the convenience of facial wipes. They are more ‘frenemy’ than ‘lazy girl’s friend’! Those handy, moist, makeup removing towelettes have revolutionised the way we clean our faces but convenience comes at a cost. Irritated skins and blocked drainage systems are what lay amongst the facial cleanser wipe fallout. Facial wipes are a […]

Easter gifts us chocolate lovers four chocolate-coated days of shameless chocolate consumption. And if you need any more reasons to nibble on those bunny ears , […]
‘Cleanse Tone and Moisturise ’ has long been accepted as the golden rule of skin care. Deleting ‘Moisturise’ from your skin care routine is a little like having a 3 wheeled car…..the car would still run ok, albeit a little wonky, a little inefficiently and with an accident waiting to happen. Without this important third […]
Not ‘grinching’ on your xmas but……alcohol can wreak havoc on our skin, triggering rashes, dryness, even dull and lifeless skin. It’s no secret Santa’s favourite colour is red. The suit, the rosy red cheeks…..he rocks red! Those rosy cheeks however, are not from scaling chimneys Xmas eve, rather are more likely a result of imbibing […]
Microneedling or collagen induction therapy is not new but in the non-surgical skin care arena, it is definitely on trend and fast becoming the ‘sharpest tool in the skin care shed’ for 2015 ! Microneedling is not only reserved for the rich and famous. Approximately $400 per treatment for the face makes it affordable. Microneedling’s claims […]
I love Instagram and those closest to me would even go as far to say that I’m addicted. It plays a valuable role in the branding of my business and one I really enjoy!
