/ Morning massage routine live from my favourite place Marrakech, whilst sat on the rooftop of the beautiful @la_maison_marrakech I massaged with pro collagen banking serum & phyto nature oxygen cream but you can massage with any serum/oil/massage. Not sure why I’m calling it a TMG and not a TMJ but let’s just put it down to a sleepy slow morning in Marrakech and I clearly can’t get my words out. Shall we also talk about those little pesky grey hairs wanting to start a party on the top of my head. Little tinkers, clearly need to massage more to stop these from happening. Anyway enjoy people, make time for your wellness or you’ll be forced to make time for your illness — make time for your skins wellness or you’ll be forced to age faster! Massage away 💫💫💫 #facialmassage #skin #skinhealth #skincare #skintherapist #marrakech #slowsaturdays

Treating Fitzpatrick Type 4/5 skin requires a slightly different approach. This beautiful skin type is more susceptible to pigmentation and marking, and it often experiences pigmentation issues, so you have to treat with caution & experience! However, my client Azmat had a wonderfully even tone, and her results post-Luminfusion were simply glowing. This was Asmat’s first visit to me. Her main concern was some under-skin congestion and texture on her forehead. Even after just one facial, I was able to help improve it, and with time, I will further refine her skin. You can see the even glow her skin has post-facial. I really need to get better at taking before photos, but I get so excited when I see the afterglow! ✨ Thank you, Asmat, for coming in and allowing me to share your skin journey. Who else is a fan of a Luminfusion facial? Luminfusion helps with smoothness, glow, brightness using nano technology & LED light therapy creating the perfect glazed donut glow with little or no downtime. #bristol #skin #skincare #skinhealth #Luminfusion #dermalogica #medik8 #skintherapist #glazeddonut

/ Good evening people, haven’t delighted you with a daily ramble for a long time. So here you are on this Tuesday evening. Hello to all the new followers; really appreciate you being here - I really do! Let me know any questions; sometimes I take for granted how much I know and that even basic things to me, can be something so new to someone else - like cleansing - do you all know how to cleanse properly? Anyway, that can be another ramble for another day. Happy Tuesday beautiful people 🌱✨ #bristol #skin #skincare #skinhealth #dermalogica #healthylifestyle #spf #skintherapist #facialist #IPL #hifu #rfneedling

/ Is your Microbiome affecting your skin? 🦠 This ecosystem, known as the skin microbiome, plays a crucial role in keeping your skin healthy. The products we apply, the foods we eat and the way we live our lifestyle all impact it. Here are my top tips to keep it balanced: 🍎Healthy diet - eat a diverse diet with plenty of colours, fibre, prebiotics, wholegrains and protein-rich foods. Aim for 30+ plant points weekly. 🧴Avoid stripping ingredients - harsh soaps and cleansers that strip the skin of natural oils. Opt for gentle, pH-balanced cleansers that preserve the skin’s natural barrier. 💦Hydration - helps maintain a healthy balance of gut flora, keeps your body hydrated and skin barrier strong. ‼️Reduce inflammation - limit alcohol intake, avoid artificial sweeteners and don’t smoke. 💊Avoid antibiotics - It can take up to 6 months to rebuild your gut health after a round of antibiotics, so try to avoid it as best you can. 🦠Take a probiotic - to improve digestion, and immunity and enhance nutrient absorption. I could go about the benefits of a probiotic; I take one every day! 💤Get adequate sleep every night - aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep to allow your skin to repair and regenerate. 🏃‍♀️‍➡️Exercise - not only does it boost your ATP synthesis to give you a glow, it diversifies your gut bacteria and increases your happy hormones. 🌿Immerse yourself in nature - feed your gut bacteria and introduce new microbes to your body. Not all bacteria are bad! ☀️Wear SPF every day - we must protect the skin from UV damage, which can harm the skin microbiome’ even when it’s cloudy or raining! 💢Manage stress - slow down, take a pause, get out for a morning walk and schedule time every week for you. If you want to achieve healthy skin, you need a healthy and balanced Microbiome. It’s not just what’s being put on the outside, it’s how we’re functioning on the inside that is just as important. 👉

The Effects of Sugar on Your Skin Sugar doesn’t just affect your waistline—it also impacts your skin, accelerating the aging process through a chemical reaction called glycation. Glycation occurs when sugar molecules attach to collagen and elastin fibers in your skin, These damage the skin’s structure, leading to wrinkles, sagging, and reduced elasticity. How Sugar Ages Your Skin 1. Formation of AGEs - Consuming sugar elevates the formation of AGEs, which makes collagen fibers rigid and less repairable. This weakens the skin’s foundation, leading to wrinkles and sagging. 2.Exogenous AGEs - Cooking methods like grilling, frying, and roasting can also increase AGE formation in foods, contributing to skin aging when these foods are consumed. 3. Inflammation - High sugar intake spikes insulin levels, causing inflammation that exacerbates skin aging and other health issues. 4. Immune System - Sugar weakens the immune system, making it harder to fight off bacteria, which can lead to acne and other skin & health issues. Spotting a ‘Sugar Face’ A diet high in sugar can noticeable show these signs on your skin: - Fine lines and wrinkles - Especially on the forehead. - Loss of elasticity - Skin may appear saggy and less firm - especially neck area - Acne and breakouts - sugar intake can lead to more frequent and severe acne due to weakened immune response and inflammation. - Dull & uneven skin tone - High sugar levels can lead to a lackluster complexion and uneven skin tone. Combatting Sugar-Related Skin Aging - Reduce Sugar and Refined Carbs - Healthy Fats - Consume more fish, olive oil, avocados and legumes which are linked to fewer wrinkles. -Whole Foods - Opt for beans, green leafy vegetables, asparagus, nuts, olives, apples, and pears which are associated with healthier skin. - Avoid Processed Foods - most things in a packet - get used to reading ingredients. - From the outside in - Clarity Peptides is THE best product for a stressed out skin, if

Exfoliation - Unlock Your Skin’s Radiance & glow ✨ Ever wondered about the magic of exfoliation in skincare? Or completely stuck on where to start? Let’s dive in! Like any journey, skincare is about pacing ourselves. Think of it like training at the gym or preparing for a marathon – we start slow, building resilience and strength over time. Your skin, your largest organ, deserves the best care & training pattern. Introducing exfoliation gradually is key. Start with the gentle touch of Daily Milkafoliant for sensitive or dehydrated skin, just twice a week. This product is great for anyone. It’s a creamy, milky, oaty polish. Any skin will get on with it. Seeking a brightening boost? Turn to Daily Microfoliant paired with Press & Glow for a radiant complexion. Texture concerns? Peelfoliant twice a week can work wonders. For those already on the skincare train, elevate with Daily Superfoliant for ultimate smoothness. And for a potent yet gentle overnight treatment, Sleep Glycolic is your go-to. In my treatments, I layer exfoliation strategically, ensuring maximum benefit without irritation. At home, take it slow – one product at a time. Remember, less is often more when it comes to acids. Up next I’ll explain the differences between all those fabulous acids!✨ P.S check out the Skin Kits from Medik8 on myself, especially the beauty sleep duo which includes Sleep Glycolic & Hud8 B5 intense.
