Spent a beautiful few days with dearest friends and family at Soho Farmhouse. Thank you and Emma for arranging. One of my original mentors the great dermatologist Dr Anthony Duvivier and his wonderful wife Judith continue to inspire us.

I had my first experience where Rory was selected to pull the sword from the stone after the failure of 2 adults and declaring a very important message that “kids are way better than adults”.

Of course, I brought my with me. Sometimes people think because they are on holiday, they should step away from their routine Klira Special - please don’t do this. The Special is all about routine and even if you are outside all day, swimming and wanting to enjoy spa treatments. You can do all these things but just with care. Make sure you wear your facial SPF every day, moisturise if you have been in a swimming pool or sea, select spa treatments that are more about relaxing and nourishing the skin rather than being harsh or trying to “treat” the skin.

Guess which hand my patient has put her KLIRA onto each night before applying her face. For six months!

Thank you for covering this important piece of health information 🤍 You can read the full article on the British Vogue Website.

The key to good outcomes in melanoma is discovering the lesion early. The thinner the melanoma is the better the outcomes with treatment.

Melanoma are usually brown/black but they can be pink or red. It is worth seeing a dermatologist if you have a mole that is behaving differently than the others by growing or changing or becoming itchy. Or a new spot lasting more than 8 weeks that may not even be brown.

Melanomas can appear under the nails or on the feet and hands and can affect all skin colours.

What an inspiring evening at the Future of Healthtech Hub last night! Organised by the wonderful Tatum Getty and Pamela Walker, we discussed innovations at the cutting edge of dermatology. I spoke on the panel about the work we are doing through to help people better understand their skin and access the very highest level of bespoke skincare. I was alongside Dr Saahil Mehta and Dr Alexandra Murray, both of whom are doing such brilliant work to push forward the boundaries in plastics and skin healing. So many inspiring individuals in one room, including the legendary - I do hope to see you all again very soon!

It’s not often you get to work alongside your best friend for forever, but how much fun is it when you do? Sigi and I were at medical school together, flat-shared together and junior doctor shifts together. Here we are almost 30 years later working together spreading the knowledge on real skin care and hormonal medicine for . The wonderful was there giving advice on nutrition and the skintoo. We had such a fun day sharing knowledge and learning ourselves from all of the content creators and journalists in attendance. This was a wonderful medical wellness event that was so wonderfully organised by . Next stop the podcast…

Perioral dermatits - the result 👀

Here is a follow up from my patient after she reduced the large number of steps she had in her routine, we simplified everything down.

Perioral dermatitis is undoubtedly one of the most common conditions we are seeing in our dermatology clinics over the last few years 🥼

Traditionally people would get this as a consequence of topical or inhaled steroid use but now the commonest reason is usually a cosmetic or sunscreen product. It’s not even down to a particular ingredient but usually the formulation and probably a lot to do with preservatives.

Her skin is back in order around about one week after a change in her treatment! 💪🏼

The pink scrubs from made me do it! 💕💖💗

I’ve been loving them so much and feeling like an absolute doll in them 😉

Well, I can’t believe that this is the end of my 4 year presidency at the British Cosmetic Dermatologists! ⭐

The room was packed - we need a bigger room next year 😉

Thank you to everyone for attending, the wonderful speakers and for all your support as BCDG secretary ❤️

As Earth Day is tomorrow, I’ve been thinking quite a bit about how we’re encouraged to make positive changes in the areas we can 🌍

for me, other than my personal lifestyle choices, the area I can try to help make a positive advancement is in the industry I work in 👩🏻‍⚕️

I’ll share more thoughts tomorrow on the actual but I think it’s safe to say that an extremely large amount of us invest in skincare… So we all need to be wise and make the smarter choices with what we choose to put in our bathroom cupboard (and how much we put in there!) 🧴

At Klira, we’re trying to do our bit by creating a more sustainable skincare brand 💚

There’s the reusable glass pump that holds your Klira Special 🫙

The fully recyclable pillow pack that your refill cartridge arrives in (the refill cartridges also recyclable!)🧴

Our derm team help you find the right, simplified skincare routine for you (eradicating trial–and–error and mass-consumption waste) 🥼

This is where we’re at right now, and I like to think it’s a big step in the right direction! I’m interested to hear what other people think, so please comment below! 💬

First three days around Cape Town! What an amazing country travelling round 😍

Boulder Beach for the Penguins, right down to the Cape of Good hope. Lazy seals in Bay waiting for the Snook to dry. Fabulous picnics at the Cape of Good Hope at the top of Table mountain. On to the wine lands….

Thanks to the amazing we’ve been having the most amazing trip!! Couldn’t recommend him enough and look at his photos with elephants! 😱🙌

…oh and of course I haven’t forgotten my SPF! 😂👩🏻‍⚕️

I am asked all the time how I would advise people to find a good and safe and qualified practitioner for delivering non-surgical cosmetic treatments. Within the UK steps are being made to make this practice safer / one of the most significant steps has been the development of Joint Council for Cosmetic Practice (JCCP). This is a step closer to safety for our patients who want to seek out injectable and laser procedures. This was set up after an attempt to overhaul the rogue cosmetic industry based on safety concerns. It struck me in the report by Sir Bruce Keogh - “there is more regulation when it comes to buying a ballpoint pen than having a filler injected into your face”. On the back of this report the JCCP and the CPSA was born. I sit alongside my peers including plastic surgery and dermatology colleagues on the CPSA to help define standards to keep patients safe. So if you are considering any injectable treatments or laser treatments it’s very easy to consult the register online and see if your practitioner is registered. This is what my certificate looks like. Hope this helps

Twelve Skin Types ! Why is it when you go to the counter for your skin care you are lumped into a set of skin types which are so limited. It’s the myth we have to bust the most ! There are actually 12 skin types. It’s the first step in great skin care to know your ‘SkinSize’. Whether you are suffering from acne or simply wanting to maintain youthful skin, knowing your SkinSize is the first part of the journey. You can take the SkinSize test and start your journey with me bringing Dermatology into your home with our prescription creams made especially for you.
