When I tell people I’m a skincare specialist, I sometimes catch them looking at my skin first. I don’t wear foundation, and I still carry some of the scars from my acne journey. In my head, I can almost hear the question: how could she possibly be a skin specialist? 🙈
Maybe it’s my own insecurities talking… but today I took a completely bare-faced selfie (originally just to show my Mum my new lash lift courtesy of .thebeautyroom 🤍) and for the first time in a long time, I really stopped and looked at my skin.
And I love it! I love that it’s real. I love that it tells a story. I love that it’s mine. My skin has worked hard to recover from everything it’s been through, and so have I!
This didn’t happen overnight, and it definitely didn’t happen from one miracle product. It’s been consistency, patience, understanding my skin properly, and treatments tailored to what my skin actually needed - regular peels, , and honestly… has been my number one 🤍
But alongside the treatments, the biggest difference has been sticking to a simple routine consistently outside of my clinic treatments. I genuinely use every single day, religiously, and my skin absolutely loves it. Toskani for corrective/treatment work, La Roche-Posay for protecting and maintaining my skin barrier day to day ✨ oh and this isn’t a plug - no one has asked me to post this and I’m definitely not getting anything in return…just clear skin!!
Healthy skin was always the goal for me, never perfect skin. I truly believe skin should look like skin - not covered up to look like a porcelain doll. Texture, pores, scars, movement… it all tells a story 🤍 🧚🏽♀️
