One of the things I often discuss with my clients is the connection between our gut, skin and the brain axis. When it comes to our gut health, it can be hard for clients to connect the dots between our skin and gut health. It’s such an important discussion to have with clients as when you realise that 75% of our immune system and 95% of serotonin and 50% of dopamine is stored in the gut, it all begins to make sense. Those flares, inflammation, sensitivities there’s always a reason behind it.

Even our thought patterns, thoughts and our emotions are all connected to our gut health, via the gut brain axis. Anxiety , stress and depression have all been linked to our gut health.

Breakouts redness, sensitivity inflammation, your skin is showing you what your gut is struggling with.

if your skin keeps reacting it may be time to look at the gut, skin brain connection.
Your gut health could be influencing your skin far more than you think. Let’s have a conversation.

So lovely to catch up with one of my clients who first came to see me three years ago with Papulopustular Rosacea.
By taking an outside in and inside out approach we have managed to achieve truly life changing results that have remained consistent over the years. Long lasting skin health, is always the main goal.

When working with rosacea it’s never just about treatments and skincare, I have learned that the answers are rarely found at the surface, we have to look at the body as a whole. My client made significant changes to her nutrition, cutting out sugar and doesn’t drink alcohol. She now understands her personal triggers which has been a huge part of maintaining her skin health and confidence.

My client uses corneotherapeutic skincare dermaviduals and invested in a course of Byonik treatments. This combination has played a key role in helping to strengthen and support her long term skin health.

If you have been struggling with your skin for a long time, I would love to help.

Perioral dermatitis can often be misdiagnosed, especially as acne, but they are two separate skin concerns that both need a totally different approach. I find with perioral dermatitis the whole skin barrier can be impaired as these photos of my clients show.

So That persistent rash around your mouth, nose, or eyes that will not seem to go away. It might not be acne. Perioral dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that causes clusters of red papules and pustules in the periorificial zones. It is often accompanied by burning, tightness, and irritation.
If this sounds familiar, keep following along this month to find out more on this persistent skin concern.

The skin barrier isn’t a trend it’s biology. The skin barrier might be everywhere right now, but understanding it properly goes far beyond a buzz word or trend it requires real knowledge of the different systems of the skin, how it functions, and how to support it. It’s not new it’s the foundation of how your skin functions.

This has been at the core of how I approach every clients skin for the past four years. That’s why finding a true specialist in skin barrier repair matters. It’s not just about whether someone is talking about the skin barrier, it’s about looking deeper at the products they use and the ingredients in their skincare in treatments? Are they detrimental to the skin barrier ? Are the ingredients supporting your lipids or slowly washing them away.
What treatments do they offer?

Real barrier repair is intentional considered and rooted in how the skin functions. As a Corneotherapist we have studied the skin barrier extensively and know how true skin functions.
To us, the barrier is everything it’s not just a trend or fad It’s how as Corneotherapists we have always worked.

Three years ago my client came to see me struggling with acne. Yesterday we did a treatment and she’s still Clear!!
Of course we can treat acne but staying consistently clear, that’s something different. That’s what happens when you put the right foundations in place, which is why I always say the basics are so important. My client went away understanding her skin, we have created healthy habits which will last a lifetime.

Working holistically takes time it’s not a quick fix, we focused on what truly mattered, diet and blood sugar, repairing the skin barrier, calming inflammation, supporting the skin with the right skincare. The fundamentals we put in place back then are what keeps my clients skin consistently Clear!
My client uses no supplements now, but stays consistent with her skin care.

This is what long term skin health looks like!
If you’re tired of short term band aid solutions and want real lasting results this is your sign.

Breakouts aren’t always just about congestion or excess oil.
What I often see in clinic is a deeper pattern a compromised skin barrier sitting alongside acne.

When the barrier is impaired, the skin becomes vulnerable.
It loses water, transepidermal water loss, which triggers inflammation.
As our microbiome and acid mantle shift to a more alkaline environment, this creates the perfect environment for breakouts to thrive.
C acne’s bacteria love an anaerobic low oxygen environment. At the same time, ongoing inflammatory acne further weakens the barrier, leaving the skin reactive, sensitised, and stuck in a cycle that feels impossible to break.

This is why treating acne in isolation often leads to frustration.
You might see short term improvement, but the skin never truly stabilises or heals If the barrier isn’t supported,
Real skin correction comes from addressing the skin barrier first. Calming inflammation, supporting the skin barrier, working with the skin, not against it.

This is where a tailored approach changes everything.
If you’re ready to understand your skin properly, book in for a skin consultation.

My client is only 8 weeks into my Acne Program and has had some amazing results so far. From painful cystic acne that would burst and bleed, to her skin starting to heal.
Inflammation and active acne has decreased massively.

I always start with the basics, I focused on stress, sleep, diet, stabilising blood sugar dysregulation, working on the nervous system, low stomach acid, digestion and gut health They really need to be in place first before any blood work analysis is done. With blood work analysis we were able to find the root causes of my clients acne cutting out any guess work.
We also focused on the skin barrier as we needed to heal and calm inflammation, my client is on Prologic corneotherapeutic skincare.

My client was wearing SPF but her skin told a different story.
A new client came in to see me for a skin consultation and treatment. She uses SPF in her moisturiser and thought she was fully protected. Using the Mecit Pro A skin analyser in my consultation i was able to look deeper and see key areas that were being completely missed.

My client kindly let me share these cropped images of her skin.
Many clients rely on SPF within their moisturiser thinking they’re fully protective, but in reality it’s rarely enough.

As a skin specialist I always recommend a separate SPF to your moisturiser, so your fully protected, think how much moisturiser you would need to apply to achieve the stated SPF level a lot which we rarely do. Your moisturiser with SPF in isn’t always giving you the protection you think it is.

SPF isn’t just about using it, It’s about how we apply it. We can sometimes miss certain areas of our skin. If it’s not applied evenly, it’s not giving you the full protection. Re application is another area that I see clients sometimes skip, reapplying your SPF matters.

Are you ready to look beneath the surface to catch what the eye can’t see?
Book your consultation to look deeper.

True skin correction begins with identifying the exact type of acne you’re experiencing!
Blackheads, whiteheads, inflamed acne, non inflamed acne, papules, cysts, nodules, fungal acne, they all require different approaches, treatments, and skincare products.
Not that “miracle” product trending all over social media, It’s not designed with your skin in mind.

Treating everything the same way is often what keeps skin stuck. Understanding what you’re truly dealing with is where real progress begins.

Skip the guess work and book in for a professional skin consultation and give your skin the targeted care it actually needs.

This month we are breaking down acne myths and empowering you to feel knowledgeable about your skin.
Acne isn’t just a teenage problem.
It’s a skin condition that can affect people of all ages. Understanding what’s actually happening beneath the surface is the first step to addressing it properly.
