This skin showcases how patience is required to make long lasting changes. We can’t change a skin overnight. Scroll left for the before 📷

Client was using too many products, and lots containing fragrance and emulsifiers, which were causing sensitivities and some perioral dermatitis.

We also had the skin transition off of contraception after many years on it, so breakouts increased for a short time, but thankfully the strengthening of the skin barrier meant the skin held up pretty well!

These results are thanks to a simple bespoke skincare routine using active ingredients, enzymes and moisturisers to strengthen the skin barrier.

The client was also excellent at ensuring the skin received lots of and we have also completed 2 sessions of microneedling.

Results = stronger skin barrier, healed perioral dermatitis, minimal breakouts, smoother brighter complexion and a reduction in pore size. Oh and skin confidence 🤎

Don’t underestimate the time it takes to heal and change a skin. We started working together nearly a year ago, showing there are no quick fixes. Thankfully this client trusted the process and had patience along the way. We are both thrilled! 🫶🏻

Note - lighting is slightly different conditions between photos 💡 however you get the gist! 🥳

A brilliant case to show the impact of home care alone. I have not touched or treated this skin in clinic, and these results are from a virtual consultation.

My wonderful client took on all of my advice, focussing on improving lifestyle habits such as sleep and incorporating omegas into her diet, through food and supplementation.

She has followed her skin plan, containing recommended products religiously, and we have tweaked the active ingredients in her products with her changing skin.

We are both over the moon with the results. The skin began to improve fairly quickly, but the timeframe between these photos is 11 months. Long term changes in the skin take time and patience.

Thank you to my lovely client who trusted me and trusted the process. A calmer, less inflamed, stronger and much more resilient skin barrier. Look at the texture and glow! 🫶🏻🤎

Most Promising Dermaviduals Newcomer of 2024 🏆

Honoured and overwhelmed to have received this award from Dermaviduals UK 🥺🤎

This time last year Lucy Connelly Skin was just a bucket load of market research, a business plan and a Pinterest board.

But one thing that I was certain of, was that Dermaviduals was going to be the brand that allowed me to help transform skins. I knew that Corneotherapy aligned with my values of treating skin, so I was thrilled to be accepted into their training. If I’m completely honest, I wouldn’t have started the business if I hadn’t have been accepted, because other methodologies of treating skin do not sit right with me.

Starting out alone in the skincare industry was terrifying, but having the wonderful team at Dermaviduals holding my hand and being available to chat 24/7 has been invaluable. Thank you for being as invested in my clients as I am! 😘

I’ve spent the last 4 months in the depths of morning sickness, nausea and exhaustion which made me feel like I was slightly failing my business, as I couldn’t give it my all. So when I found out I had been awarded the Most Promising Newcomer I was absolutely made up (and emotional - thank you hormones!)😂

I am so passionate about the brand and the products, and it truly has been the reason my business has excelled during this first year. I’ve never been one to be proud of myself, but for the first time in a long time I feel really proud🥲

I cannot wait to see where the brand continues to take me and my clients. Thanks to Donna and Charlotte for the constant support, and to my amazing clients for trusting me to choose the best brand and products for your skins🤎

The Fundamentals of a Skincare Routine 🧴

One of the most common issues I see with client’s skins is where the skincare routine has been overcomplicated. A 10 step skincare routine has huge potential to disrupt a skin barrier, causing it to function poorly 👎🏼

Stripping things back and using a good quality cleanser and moisturiser can often transform a skin, and repair an impaired barrier. Then targeted active ingredients can be added to give further results🫶🏻

Our skin is cleverer than we think, and when fed with premium ingredients in a core few products, it excels in doing it’s job to protect you from external stressors and keeping all the good stuff (hydration and lipids) in🥰

Using skin identical ingredients that are recognised by the skin should be the aim. And in my opinion seeing 20+ ingredients on the back of a skincare product is a big no no. Simple is always best✅

If you need help simplifying or nailing the basics of a skincare routine please book in for a consultation. Virtual and In-person available🤎

The most important part of any new client’s skin journey at Lucy Connelly Skin - The Consultation🫶🏻

Allowing me to have an understanding of the person attached to the skin, where they have put their skin over the years, and why it may be behaving like it is - allows me to join the dots and put together a product and/or treatment plan.

These are just a handful of things that we will discuss during the consultation, whether this be virtually or in person. I will explain to you how these things impact the way our skin functions, and give you lots of tips and tricks when it comes to lifestyle changes, that will positively impact your skin.

Skin Health begins with Skin Education. My aim is for you to leave your consultation feeling empowered, educated and understanding your skin better and what it needs/doesn’t need.

Patience 🙄🫶🏻

For somebody who often has zero, I’ve learned just how important it is to have patience when introducing new products into a skincare routine.

Active ingredients need time to work, and the time varies depending on what skin concern you are trying to treat. For example retinoids generally take longer to reduce fine lines and wrinkles than they do to help treat acne.

And the active ingredient may be effective on paper, but if it’s not formulated with an effective delivery system it’s going to be pretty pointless🙃

Instantly the goal is for products to feel nice on the skin, but the real results take some time. So trusting the process, and your skin specialist is key🤎

Patience is boring, but skin results are worth it! 💪🏼
