Is-strong-skincare-better-for-you

There is so much information on social media where the stronger the skincare products are the better. Particularly when it comes to actives such as AHA's and Vitamin A, this information can be misleading. The belief that unless you're experiencing dryness and flaking on a regular basis that your results are going to plateau and the ingredients aren't working hard enough for you is not correct.

When your skin becomes compromised it’s a clear sign that If you over-do things, you risk causing irritation and sensitising your skin.

Most of the skin issues we see occur in the epidermis, so the first port of call should be perfecting how those layers are being formed. Once we do that all the skin issues will start to correct themselves over time. Wrinkles, loss of elasticity, rosacea and acne are all dermal ( surface) issues but really it all began in the epidermis long before it became visible.

Get skin savvy and find yourself someone into educating themselves to understand what it is your skin needs. When I recommend a treatment or a product to you it’s not to sell you something, it’s to help you. That’s my job, and I love 💓 it. Customised skin care programmes are the way of the future.

Think about the analogy of the marathon runner. If you were asked to run a marathon with no training or preparation would you do well, not likely, in fact you would do yourself damage. It’s the same with a good skin therapist, they are your personal trainer, setting you up for success. With preparation your less likely to risk injury as well as downtime and recovery time.
