Friday thought… 💭

I finally have the wisdom
of an older woman.

Unfortunately, I still have
the decision making skills
of the girl I was at 22! 😂

You really don’t need a 10 step skincare routine. 🙌

In fact, sometimes I think we’ve made skincare far more complicated than it needs to be.

I see women who have drawers full of serums, acids, masks and creams and still have absolutely no idea what they’re supposed to be using. 😂

For most skin, I’d much rather see a few well chosen products being used consistently than 12 products being randomly rotated depending on what Social Media told you this week.

The basics?

✨ A gentle cleanser
✨ Something that actually targets YOUR skin concern
✨ A good moisturiser if your skin needs it
✨ Sunscreen. Every. Single. Day. ☀️

Then we can add the fancy stuff if there’s a reason to.

And no, I’m not going to confiscate your supermarket moisturiser when you come through the door. 😂

Good skincare doesn’t have to be complicated, it just needs to be right for your skin.

💙 NEO SKIN GIVEAWAY

I thought it was time for a little giveaway 🙂 one that could genuinely help someone who is struggling with their skin.

I’m giving away a NUYU 3-step skincare routine PLUS a skin consultation with me at NEO Skin Lab.

NUYU is particularly lovely for skin that is dealing with things like:

✨ Breakouts and congestion
✨ Blackheads and clogged pores
✨ Oily or combination skin
✨ Teenage skin that suddenly seems to have a mind of its own
✨ Hormonal/perimenopausal breakouts, because apparently wrinkles and pimples at the same time is perfectly reasonable 😳
✨ Skin that is dehydrated, irritated or just needs a simple routine

The prize includes:

NUYU Melte Mask Cleanser
NUYU Reset Hydrogel
NUYU Clarite Cream
Plus a skin consultation with me, where we can have a proper look at what’s going on and talk through a simple plan.

No 10 step skincare routine. No judgement about what you’ve been using. ❤️

To enter:

💙 Like this post
💙 Comment below with who you’d love to win this for: yourself, your teenager, daughter, son, friend… whoever you think could use a little skin help.
💙 Feel free to tag them if you’d like, but you don’t have to.

I’ll randomly choose one winner on the 12th September.

Open to Southland locals as the consultation will take place at NEO Skin Lab in Invercargill.

Good luck! 🥰

Friday Thoughts 💭

Can someone explain the middle aged chin hair to me?

You can inspect your face in the bathroom mirror in the morning and everything looks perfectly respectable.

Then at 2pm you glance in the car mirror and discover ONE enormous chin hair that appears to have been growing undetected since 1986! 😂

And why is the car mirror always the bearer of bad news?

Chin hairs. Random pigmentation. Concealer that’s settled somewhere it absolutely wasn’t when you left home 🤦🏻‍♀️

I’ve decided there are some things about ageing we just need to laugh about.

And if you come into NEO with a rogue chin hair, dry skin, no skincare routine or a supermarket moisturiser, I genuinely don’t care. I’m not here to judge you or tell you off.

If you tell me you haven’t worn sunscreen since Christmas, however..

I may give you the look. 👀😂
I’m still a skin nurse. I have standards.

Please tell me I’m not alone with the car, mirror chin hair?! 😂

Is your skin “just a bit red” or is it trying to tell you something? 🌸

Red cheeks, flushing easily, visible little blood vessels, stinging or skin that seems to react to everything can all be signs of rosacea or an impaired skin barrier.

And one of the biggest mistakes I see?
Trying to scrub, peel or active ingredient the redness away.

Red, reactive skin often needs the opposite.

At NEO, we start by looking at why your skin is red. Rosacea, sensitivity, barrier damage and sun related redness can look similar, but they don’t necessarily need the same approach.

Treatment may include:
✨ simplifying your skincare
✨ rebuilding and supporting the skin barrier
✨ calming inflammation
✨ LED light therapy
✨ carefully selected professional treatments once the skin is ready

Sometimes the best thing we can do for skin is less, not more.

If your bathroom cupboard is full of products but your face is still red, hot or unhappy, it might be time to stop guessing. ❤️

Healthy skin first. Everything else comes after.

Friday thought 🤔

At some point in your 50s, “anti-aging” starts to feel like a rather ridiculous term.

I’m not anti-ageing. I’m actually quite pleased to still be doing it. 😂

I just want good skin, a bit of collagen, enough Botox to stop me looking permanently concerned and to still look like me.

Lines don’t bother me. Looking tired when I’m not tired does. 😂

Maybe ageing well isn’t about looking younger at all.

Maybe it’s simply about looking in the mirror and thinking…

Yep. I’m quite happy with her. 🩷

Happy Friday ladies x

WEDNESDAY’S, WORTH THINKING ABOUT… 💭

When did looking your age become something we were supposed to fix?

I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately.

I work in aesthetics. I love good skincare, I have treatments myself, and yes I quite like my Botox. 😂

But I don’t want to look 40.

Actually, I don’t think I could look 40 without things becoming rather strange.

There’s a difference between wanting to look good for your age and feeling that your age itself is the problem.

Lines around our eyes can come from decades of laughing. Faces change after menopause. Skin gets thinner. We lose collagen and facial volume. These aren’t defects, they’re biology.

That doesn’t mean we can’t soften something that bothers us, improve our skin, treat pigmentation or have a little tweak that makes us feel fabulous.

I certainly do.

But perhaps the goal shouldn’t be “How young can I look?”

Maybe it should be:

“How good can I feel in the face I have now?”

I think that’s a much more interesting version of ageing.

And considerably less exhausting. ❤️

What do you think, do you want to look younger, or do you just want to look like a really good version of you?

What am I thinking about? 🤔

Is it…

✨ The importance of collagen production after menopause!
✨ Whether I remembered to put the washing in the dryer?
✨ Why I can remember something embarrassing I said in 1997, but not why I walked into the kitchen?
✨ Whether 7pm on a Friday is too early to put my pyjamas on?
✨ Or how I somehow have a chin hair that wasn’t there when I went to bed but is now 3cm long?

The face of a woman who looks like she has it all together?

She does not 😂

Happy Friday ladies.
Here’s to good skin, good humour and finding your glasses when they’re already on your head. 🩷

At NEO Skin Lab, skincare is never just about products it’s about understanding your skin, taking the time to listen, and creating a plan that’s right for you. ✨

Every consultation is an opportunity to educate, guide, and support you on your journey to healthier, stronger skin. Because the best results come from the right advice, not just the right products.

True or False? 🤔

“If a skincare product tingles, it’s working better.”

This is one of the biggest skincare myths I hear.

The truth? Not necessarily.

A tingling sensation doesn’t mean a product is penetrating deeper or giving you better results. In many cases, it simply means your skin is being irritated.

Some active ingredients (like acids or retinoids) can cause a mild temporary sensation, especially when you’re first introducing them. But discomfort isn’t the goal.

Healthy skin is all about a strong skin barrier. When that barrier is damaged, your skin is more likely to become red, dry, sensitive and inflamed. Ironically, that can make it harder to achieve the glowing skin you’re aiming for.

The best skincare isn’t always the strongest skincare. It’s the skincare your skin can actually tolerate consistently.

✨ Your turn…

Have you ever stopped using a product because it stung your face?

Or do you secretly think, “If it burns, it must be working?” 😅
