Navigating your skin through this transformative phase:
During the summer months I find that patients I see in clinic often neglect applying moisturiser after cleansing and before SPF for fear of clogging the skin and encouraging breakouts.

I met Nicola at a wonderful event full of amazing women back in May and was immediately taken by her beautiful vintage shirt that she was wearing. Like with any first meet, you grab on to a hook to start the conversation, and yes, the shirt was our cue but we quickly moved on when I asked Nicola about her work and learning of her expertise but also experience of intense spinal problems.

For Jackie, and a lot of women, changes in her hormones resulted in more than just angry skin flare-ups; it was impacting her life which in turn was having an effect on those closest to her.

Just a gentle reminder that as it is a delicate area to be extra careful when massaging or tapping and being careful not to drag the skin.” Ati

I am not a sleep expert per se but I am very good at sleeping so thought I would put fingertips to the keyboard and write a little something about it with it being World Sleep Day. 

It’s commonly thought that a good night’s sleep often gets harder as we age, but that doesn’t mean we’re doomed to being sleep-deprived zombies after 40 surely, we may just need to adopt different tools to help support a better night’s rest.
