THE OTHER HALF OF MY PLATE 🍽️

We talk a lot about skincare products, but what goes on your plate matters too.

The other half of my plate is packed with nutrients that support healthy, glowing skin from the inside out:

🥦 Broccoli for antioxidant protection

🍠 Sweet potato for beta-carotene & skin renewal

🌾 Quinoa for fibre, protein & balanced blood sugar

Skincare isn’t just what you apply. It’s also what you nourish your body with every day.

HELLO JUNE 🌻

This month I’m saying YES to:

• SPF every day
• More water
• Consistency over perfection
• Making time for self-care
• Protecting my peace
• Slowing down when I need to

No unrealistic goals, no all-or-nothing mindset. Just small habits that help me feel my best, inside and out.

What are you saying YES to this June?

WILL I BRUISE? 💉

One of the most common questions I get asked before injectable treatments.

And trust me, if I had X-ray vision, I’d use it! 🩻

Beneath the skin lies a complex network of blood vessels that we simply can’t see from the surface. While a detailed knowledge of facial anatomy allows practitioners to identify higher-risk areas & use the safest techniques possible, bruising can still occasionally occur.

Understanding facial anatomy isn’t just about achieving great results. It’s a crucial part of providing safe, precise treatments and minimising risks wherever possible.

The good news is most bruising is mild, temporary, & resolves on its own.

HOT WEATHER 🥵

Does more to your skin than just make you sweaty.

These are the skincare mistakes I see EVERY summer;

• Skipping SPF because “I’m not sunbathing”
• Over-exfoliating to feel “clean”
• Using heavy products that clog pores in heat
• Not reapplying sunscreen throughout the day
• Forgetting hydration because your skin feels oily
• Picking at heat breakouts & congestion

Summer skin needs balance, not punishment ⚖️

Lightweight hydration, barrier support, consistent SPF, gentle skincare & hydration from the inside.

DON’T IGNORE THE SIGNS 🪧

Skin cancer can present in ways many people don’t expect, & not every warning sign is dramatic, painful or obvious.

Knowing what to look for matters.

This post isn’t here to create panic, but awareness. Early detection truly can make a difference.

If you notice any unusual or changing areas on your skin, always seek advice from your GP or a qualified dermatology professional.

📩 Save this post as your reminder to check your skin regularly.

MENTAL HEALTH TOUCHES EVERYTHING 🧠

The way we sleep, cope, connect, care for others & the way we care for ourselves.

As a midwife, a mum & someone working in an industry centred around confidence and wellbeing, I see every day how easy it is for women (& men) to pour from an already empty cup.

This Mental Health Awareness Month, let this be your reminder that caring for yourself isn’t selfish, it’s part of protecting your mental health.

Sometimes self care looks like a facial appointment, a long shower, a quiet coffee, a walk in silence, cancelling plans, eating properly, or simply allowing yourself to rest without guilt.

Glowing skin is wonderful, but feeling supported, rested, heard and emotionally safe? That’s the real foundation.

Check in with yourself the same way you check in with everyone else 🖤

WHAT’S ON MY PLATE? 🍽️

I’m all for the wine, date nights & the occasional snack plate that turns into dinner, but healthy, glowing skin is about more than just skincare.

What we feed our bodies can have a huge impact on inflammation, hydration & skin clarity.

Lately, I’ve been focusing on foods that nourish the skin from within:

🍣 Salmon for omega-3s to support skin elasticity and help reduce inflammation.

🥦 Greens & cucumber for hydration & antioxidant support.

🥑 Avocado for healthy fats that help maintain a strong, glowing skin barrier.

It’s all about balance, consistency & supporting your skin both internally & externally.
