As a skin expert working with clients across the world, one thing I’ve learned is that beautiful skin is never about one magic product—it’s about consistency, understanding your skin’s needs, and using the right ingredients for your skin type.
Whether you’re dealing with dryness, acne, pigmentation, or early signs of ageing, here’s my expert guide to achieving healthy, glowing skin:
1. Know Your Skin Type
The foundation of any great skincare routine is understanding your skin type. Is it oily, dry, combination, or sensitive? Your skin type dictates the kind of products and ingredients that will work best for you. If you're not sure, a professional skin consultation using my sophisticated Observ machine can make all the difference.
2. Keep It Simple (But Consistent)
Overcomplicating your routine with too many products can do more harm than good. A well-balanced routine includes:
Cleanser – Gentle and non-stripping
Serum – Targeted treatment for your concerns
Vitamin C- To help protect and repair your skin
SPF – Every single day, even when it’s cloudy or you’re indoors
3. Don’t Skip Sunscreen – Ever
I can’t stress this enough: SPF is non-negotiable. It protects against premature ageing, pigmentation, and skin cancer. If you do nothing else, apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher every morning—and reapply every 2 hours if you're exposed to the sun, go to my instagram to find out my favorite tried and tested products.
4. Introduce Active Ingredients Wisely
Ingredients like retinol, AHAs/BHAs, vitamin C, and niacinamide can completely transform your skin—but only when used properly. Overuse or layering too many actives can lead to sensitivity and damage. Start slow, introduce one at a time, and don’t be afraid to ask for guidance.
5. Stay Hydrated – Inside and Out
Dehydrated skin can look dull and tired, regardless of your age or skin type. Drink plenty of water, use hydrating products with ingredients like hyaluronic acid, and avoid harsh cleansers that strip your natural oils.
6. Don’t Pop spots
As tempting as it might be, picking or popping spots can lead to scarring and further inflammation. Instead, treat breakouts with a targeted spot treatment or book in for professional for treatments like LED therapy, chemical peels, or hydrafacials.
7. Professional Treatments = Powerful Results
At-home skincare is essential, but professional treatments tailored to your skin can accelerate your results. From deep-cleansing facials to microneedling and advanced peels, professional care takes your skin health to the next level.
8. Listen to Your Skin
Your skin changes with the seasons, your hormones, your stress levels, and your environment. What worked for you six months ago might not work today. Tune in, and don’t hesitate to adjust your routine when needed.
Final Thoughts
Great skin isn’t about perfection—it’s about progress and maintenance. Whether you're in the heart of London or under the sun in Dubai, investing in your skin is one of the most rewarding acts of self-care.
If you're ready to take your skin to the next level, book a consultation either in person or on-line with me. Let’s create a tailored plan that gives your skin exactly what it needs to thrive.
