General Advice

Having skin that looks good gives us confidence at any age.

With make-up we can often look better, but we all wish our skins could be more hydrated, less oily, less red, less wrinkled, less blotchy and more even-toned…this is what I hear every day from people of all ages – both male and female.

To have skin that feels good it needs to be healthy. Healthy skin is a combination of many things, some of which have nothing to do with what you apply to your skin. It can include:

Genetic factors
Environmental factors especially sun exposure
Your general health, medications and fitness level
Whether you smoke
Your diet and fluid intake
Stress of all kinds
The makeup you choose to wear
Your age

The top things that will assist you in achieving a healthier skin are:

Improving your diet, water intake and your health
Stop smoking
Having a good work/life balance

And using effective and safe, science-based skin care products that should include:

A lactic-based cleanser, Vitamins A, B and C
A physical protection moisturiser with or without an SPF
SPF protection – non-chemical
The best mineral makeup

There should be minimal additives, no known nasty chemicals, no fragrances and be chirally correct. Skin care products should have the ability to penetrate deeply and without irritation to change your skin.

These are my recommendations based on my experience treating skins. Obviously a consult and a skin analysis in person will ensure the best outcomes. For those who don’t live in the Hobart region, you can complete the online skin consultation.
