Lara Taylor - Midwife Skin Specialist

My Journey into Skin & Hormones.
This has been years in the making…

I’ve always had a passion for skincare, I’ve followed a consistent routine since I was 16 (and yes, always took my makeup off, no matter what!).

Around 9 years ago, while working as a midwife, I was introduced by my sister Amy Caton to a natural skincare brand, Tropic, and that’s when my journey really evolved. I started looking beyond the surface, into ingredients, their effects on the body, and the impact they can have on our hormones.

This became even more important through my own working experiences of pregnancy, postpartum, and fertility, where hormone changes are at their most significant, and skin can shift dramatically.

Alongside my clinical work, I trained as a Facialist, which deepened my understanding of skin, conditions and ingredients. I’ve continued to expand my knowledge through ongoing education and research, including:
• Skin conditions across all life stages
• Hormone disruptors and ingredient awareness
• Pregnancy and postpartum skin
• Baby skin and barrier protection
• Puberty and skin physiology within midwifery
• Menopause Skin & practitioner training

What I’ve learned is, skin is never just skin. It reflects what’s happening internally, and hormones play a huge role in that.

I’m here to share evidence-led, honest guidance to help you understand your skin at every stage, from puberty through to motherhood and beyond.

Drop me a message to arrange your personalised skin consultation.

✨ I’m back! ✨

After a little time away, I’m returning with a focus that’s been years in the making.

As a Specialist Midwife & Skin Expert, I’ve spent 14+ years supporting women through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, and I’ve seen first-hand how hormones, life changes, and recovery can affect your skin.

I’m combining my midwifery knowledge with my skincare expertise to guide women through pregnancy, postpartum, and baby skin care, helping you make safe, evidence-led, hormone-conscious choices.

Over the next few weeks, I’ll be sharing tips, routines, and guidance to help you feel confident in your skin during one of life’s most intense and transformative stages.

If you’ve ever wondered how to care for your skin (or your baby’s!) safely during pregnancy, after birth or in menopause this page is for you.

💛 I’ll also be sharing ways you can join me, whether that’s exploring products or becoming part of my team.

I’ve missed connecting with all of you, and I can’t wait to share this journey.
Let’s start again….together.

These are the only products I recommend for my new babies. Why? Because they’re 100% natural, Certified Organic with Provence certification. So not only are they Paediatrician and Dermatologist approved, but they are Specialist Midwife approved too 🌿👶

A great gift for those welcome babies, and as they come in the most beautiful box, great for baby shower gifts and for Christmas 🎄
