Hi lovely folks, I’m Lindy, founder and skin therapist behind The Peaceful Skin Co.

I feel incredibly fortunate to have spent most of my working life doing what I still love: working within the beauty/skin industry.

I trained in Europe, and my work has taken me to some pretty wonderful places around the world.

I love the science of skin; I’ve always believed in looking beyond what we see on the surface. That inside-out approach has been part of my work from the very beginning.

I’m a huge believer in education. It’s so important to understand your skin, how your body functions and the why behind what may be happening.

The studio has always been intentionally just me, one client at a time, working at a slower pace.

In the studio and in life, I believe everyone deserves warmth and kindness.

Outside the studio, I love beautiful textiles and design, travel and backpacking adventure (although my husband carries the backpack 😂), cooking and sharing recipes, and I have a small obsession with all things tahini and sesame.

Even after all these years, I still genuinely love what I do.

If you’re new here, hi. It’s lovely to have you here. Lindy 💚X

I have been thinking lately, what feels peaceful to you?

One of my clients likes Metallica playing during her treatment. Another enjoys classical music.

For some, it’s a particular scent that helps them feel at ease. For others, it’s having an hour where they don’t need to look after anyone else.

I personally love the sound and energy of big cities, while others feel most at home in the countryside.

Over the years, one thing I’ve learnt is that no two people are the same, and neither are the things that help them feel comfortable and cared for during a treatment. These things can coexist during all skin treatments.

That’s one of the things I love about working one-on-one and being a solo skin therapist. There’s time for the little details that matter to you.

The truth is, peaceful looks different for everyone.

I’d love to know what does peaceful look like for you?

I may not be a well-known therapist within the skin and aesthetics industry, but after 25+ years in the treatment room, I do know a few little things about client care and the art of creating a treatment experience. 🌻

I certainly don’t want to offend others. Still, I've been thinking recently about how the importance of the treatment bed and our clients' comfort feels a little overlooked at times, especially as the industry in Australia moves more towards results-driven treatments and technology. I will say Europe has always approached this a little differently, though.

Our clients should feel like they are lying on a first-class, not an economy-class bed. And how quietly and mindfully we move around the room matters too.

These things are not fluffy extras; they are important, no matter your aesthetic. Sometimes the fundamentals are still the most important things we do.

Curious to hear from fellow therapists what part of the treatment experience do you think is becoming overlooked? Lindy 💚 X

Client case — Rosacea. 💚

This lovely studio guest came to see me, treating her skin as sensitive.

Education plays a strong role in how I treat rosacea in the studio. Because when you have the right information, you can better understand your skin and how to support it.

What we were seeing here wasn’t just sensitivity.

: Persistent background redness
: Frequent flushing that lingers 
: Heat through the skin
: Pain and discomfort
: Stinging and ongoing reactivity
: Hightend nerve and vascular reactivity 
: A rash-like response linked to histamine
: Redness with a bumpy, uneven texture that had been there for years

Rosacea is complex, and the way the skin is assessed matters. After one treatment, you can already see a shift.

The redness has softened, the tone is more even, and the skin is beginning to settle.

Rosacea is a long-term skin condition. One treatment doesn’t fix it, but with the right tools and support, it can be managed. Lindy 💚X

Low humidity is a common but often under-recognised trigger in rosacea.

Especially in climates such as here in Victoria, where the air can become very dry.

When humidity drops, the air draws moisture from the skin more easily, increasing water loss.

In rosacea-prone skin, where the skin barrier is naturally more fragile, this can lead to.

• Water loss and dehydration.
• Heightened sensitivity, stinging, burning.
• Inflammation and redness.
• Greater reactivity to skincare, wind, cold air and heating.

Low humidity, combined with indoor heating, wind, and cold air, all accelerate moisture loss.

It’s not just dryness. It is what is happening within the skin. Oils or heavier creams can feel comforting, but don’t address what’s happening within the skin.

When water is being lost faster than it can be retained, a rosacea skin needs support from key lipids, ceramides, cholesterol and fatty acids, which help hold water in and keep the barrier functioning well.

In rosacea-prone skin, this increased water loss can heighten nerve sensitivity, leading to stinging, flushing and increased reactivity, which is why the skin feels so reactive.

I hope this information is helpful if you are living with rosacea. Education is key to understanding your skin. Lindy 💚X

It’s Rosacea Awareness Month, and as a skin therapist who specialises in rosacea, I wanted to share some insight into rosacea that you may not know.

So, what are these little skin mites?

These are Demodex mites, which live within our skin, inside hair follicles and sebaceous (oil) glands, feeding on oil and dead skin cells.

Everyone has them, and most of the time, they exist in balance without causing any skin issues.

There are two types of Demodex, one that lives within the hair follicles and another that sits deeper within the oil glands, with the follicle type more often seen in rosacea.

Around the eyes, they live in the hair follicles of the eyelashes and within the oil glands of the eyelids, rather than in the eye itself. In some cases, increased numbers may be associated with ocular rosacea.

The skin is home to a range of microorganisms, known as the skin microbiome, and these tiny mites are a natural part of it.

In some people with rosacea, higher numbers of Demodex are found on the skin. The exact reason for this is not fully understood, but changes in the skin environment and immune response are thought to play a role.

Demodex can carry bacteria, and in some people, this may make the skin more reactive, contributing to inflammation, including papules and pustules.

Not all rosacea is linked to Demodex overgrowth, but for some, it can be one piece of a much bigger picture.

Rosacea is complex and individual, and understanding your own skin is key.

If you’re navigating rosacea and not sure where to start, please feel reach out. I’d love to help. Lindy 💚X

Did you know the studio is easy to get to?

Just a 1-minute walk from Elsternwick station, with tram and bus stops also only a minute away.

Making it simple to arrive calmly and without the rush.

If you’ve been thinking about visiting, this might be your sign. Lindy 💚X

Did you know the studio is very accessible to get to?

Just a 1-minute walk from Elsternwick station, with tram and bus stops also only a minute away.

Making it simple to arrive calmly and without the rush of driving.

If you’ve been coming to or following the studio for a long time, you might remember this pretty image by 🤍

It used to sit as a postcard to take away, and as a big poster on the wall as you walked up the stairs to the studio (who remembers my Ripponlea days above The Staple Store?).

This image reflects something that’s always been part of the studio kindness, to others and to ourselves. It shaped the studio’s feel in those days and still does.

The studio has rebranded, and things have changed. The aesthetic has evolved, with a focus and appearance that are more skin-led (which is what I am and have always been) and less about sharing things like this.

But this has always been at the core of the studio and in how I do life. The world feels a bit heavy and unsettled at the moment, and unkindness is feeling a bit too normal in how we interact with others.

We can’t control everything, but we can try to meet each other a little more gently.

Kindness shouldn’t depend on the situation. Kindness is often spoken about (especially on social media), but it’s not always lived.

I often think about what things would feel like if we were all just a little softer, a little more understanding, and just a little nicer to each other. Love, Lindy 💚X
