ELIRA Skin London

A course of peels and 2 microneedling sessions down and the progress of my clients skin is incredible 🙌🏼

My client has also been following the strict home care regime recommended to her so she has been putting in the work away from treatments too which is vital for optimum results 💪🏼

Age spots and pigmentation present on her skin has faded, the clarity and texture of her skin has improved and the collagen induction that the microneedling is producing is now firming her skin, plumping out fine lines and working as an anti-ageing treatment to the skin.

Treatments my client has had:
+ Refresh Peel
+ CELLUMA Light Therapy
+ Microneedling with EGF serum selected for her skin.

It’s never too late to start taking care of your skin, your body’s largest organ!

April is Rosacea Awareness Month!

Now what is Rosacea?

Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that usually affects the face.

The main symptoms of rosacea are facial flushing, irritated skin, and pimples. Other symptoms include blushing easily and eye problems.

Rosacea is common, affecting around 1–20% of the population. However, people frequently receive the wrong diagnosis when they have rosacea, so the true incidence may be a lot higher!

Rosacea can not be cured but it can be controlled! 💪🏼 A tailored combination of lifestyle changes, treatments and the right home care is the best way to get your rosacea under control. These factors vary from person to person as there are different types of Rosacea and different people may find different triggers more prominent for them.

FAVOURITE ROSACEA PRODUCTS:

+ Medik8 Calmwise Soothing Cleanser
+ Medik8 Calmwise Serum
+ Medik8 Clarity Peptides
+ Epionce Renewal Calming Cream
+ Epionce Enriched Firming Mask

I also LOVE using the CELLUMA device for my rosacea clients. The low level light energy travels to deeper layers of the skin which triggers natural intracellular reactions, this in turn can reduce inflammation in the skin as it will calm the skin whilst stimulating it to heal and regenerate.

Let’s discuss what the effects alcohol has on your skin! 🍸

Now me personally I am a Pina Colada & Strawbery Daquiri kind of girl, but I’m also an acne prone skin kind of girl too so we come to a slight issue here 🤣

Now it’s important to note that acne does not directly cause acne, if that was the case everyone who drinks alcohol would develop acne. It really depends on the person but chances are if you have acne prone skin then there absolutely will be somewhat of an indirect cause worsening symptoms.

Alcohol contributes towards the following:
- High sugar intake
- Skin dehydration
- Hormone levels
- Inflammation
- Compromises immune system

All of the above can worsen acne symptoms or cause acne to arise in the skin. Remember when your skin is dehydrated this can actually cause your oil glands to then overproduce oil to make up for the dehydration which can then cause clogged glands which will lead to acne.

So what can you do?

I know it’s not what everyone will want to hear but cutting down on the alcohol is your best bet for optimum skin health! I do believe everything in moderation so you don’t have to cut it out completely but try to go for lower sugar alcohol and limit your intake.

Your skin will thank you! 🤍

#2022

November until now🙌🏼 I have been treating my lovely client of mine since late September and we are now at a point where her skin has minimal breakouts, texture and pigmentation to correct compared to big breakouts and lots of inflammation which means we are still halfway through her skin journey but we have made great progress so far 👏🏼 it’s important to also remember skin can take 6 months to 1 year to see the change you truly desire but we celebrate every bit of progress along the way 💪🏼

Let me tell you a little bit of a back story to my clients skin as I’m sure many people will relate, her breakouts started and she was prescribed antibiotics, they worked for a while then she became immune and then for her own personal reasons decided that this wasn’t the route she wanted to take with her skin so came to see me.

We developed a home care routine alongside professional treatments, her home care needed some tweaking along the way (this is completely normal!) and we worked through the purging stage of her home care in both a physical and mental sense (anyone whose suffered with acne knows how much this can affect your mental health) and persisted with the correct professional treatments along with a massive focus on changing her mindset surrounding her skin and adjusting her diet also.

Although we are only halfway through my clients skin journey, she is now able to leave the house with no makeup on and feels more confident in her skin, this is what it’s all about 🙌🏼

I love my job and am so grateful for every client who allows me to help them 💪🏼🦋

Are you a picker? I have so much compassion and empathy for those who really struggle to stop picking their skin/breakouts. Its a real mental block that you need to tackle and can be compulsive for many people. We can work together to find ways to stop this habit though 🦋

Some extra tips:
1. Know your triggers! Do you find yourself uncontrollably picking at your skin after you’ve been staring in the mirror close up poking and prodding at your skin? Or worst, doing the same as above but in a magnifying mirror? If the answer is yes then ditch the magnifying mirror and avoid prolonged moments of staring up close at your skin, the more you look the more you can want to pick!

2. This leads me into my second point, make it harder to pick! Cover the breakout with a pimple patch, spot treatment or a face mask (don’t leave the mask on beyond its recommended time)

3. Keep your hands busy! Fidget toys or a stress ball can sometimes help take away or decrease the urge to pick at your skin, it’s all about finding little tricks that can work for you to divert your attention away from picking.

Picking your skin is fighting against your skin, when instead we want to focus on healing. If you interrupt your skins healing process we’re only going to prolong it so it’s super important we tackle any urges to pick at your breakouts.

Read the caption for some bonus cleansing tips 👇🏼

1. Never clean your face in the shower!🛁 Hot water and temperatures will dilate blood vessels and capillaries which can aggravate the skin, water that is too hot also strips the natural protective barrier of skin and therefore can dry it out.

2. Limit cleansing your skin twice a day (am & pm) 🌞🌙 with the exception being after sweating (after a workout for example!), if you have acne you likely feel the need to cleanse your skin and if you’re anything like me it actually became a bit of an obsession where I would be so scared of bacteria I would want to cleanse my skin constantly when my breakouts were at their worst but this can actually do the opposite effect as over cleansing your skin can aggravate it and strip too many of your natural oils away!

3. Cleanse your neck too! 🧼 your neck also collects oil and can be prone to clogged pores, this goes without saying moisturiser and SPF should also always be applied to the neck!
