Hollie Skin

Your skincare routine doesn’t end when you leave the treatment room.

Clients invest in professional treatments and medical-grade skincare, then sleep on the same pillowcase they’ve used all week. The most important reminder after any facial, peel or microneedling treatment? Change your pillowcase that night.

Your pillow spends 6-8 hours in contact with your skin every night. It collects oil, sweat, dead skin cells, bacteria, hair products and allergens, all of which can affect your skin over time.

It’s one of the easiest things you can do to protect your results.

With the renovations complete and BHQ now officially open, I’m excited to announce that I’ll be joining the clinic as its resident skin therapist, travelling to Ibiza every six weeks to bring my regenerative, bespoke approach to skin health to the island.

No trend-led facials. No one-size-fits-all protocols.

Every treatment is completely bespoke, combining regenerative science with hands-on facial therapy to strengthen the skin, restore function and create healthy skin that lasts.

Whether you’re living on the island year-round or visiting throughout the season, you’ll now be able to access the same personalised approach to skin health that my clients travel for.

Following on from yesterday’s post about Cicaplast, let’s clear up another common misconception.

Hydrators and moisturisers are often used interchangeably, but they do completely different jobs.

A hydrator increases the skin’s water content. A moisturiser helps prevent that water from escaping by supporting the skin barrier.

This is exactly why someone can tell me they sleep in a facial oil every night, yet I can still see their skin is dehydrated. Oils and rich creams help seal the skin, but they don’t replace the water that’s missing.

Many skins need both, especially if you’re dealing with dehydration and a compromised skin barrier at the same time.

Cicaplast is an excellent product, but it’s also one of the most misunderstood.

Recently I’ve been seeing more and more dehydrated skin, with Cicaplast being used as the solution. The problem is that dehydration and a damaged skin barrier aren’t the same thing.

Cicaplast is designed to protect and support a compromised barrier. It IS NOT a substitute for hydrating skincare.

Understanding what your skin actually needs will always give you better results than simply reaching for the thickest product on your shelf.

Why am I so strict about no gym, HIIT classes, sauna or excessive heat after regenerative treatments? 🥵

Because microneedling creates a controlled inflammatory response to stimulate collagen and repair and the first 48 hours are crucial for healing.

If you’re struggling with inflammation, acne or a compromised skin barrier, it’s also worth looking at the type and intensity of exercise you’re doing.
More isn’t always better when it comes to skin health, or any health for that matter.

Your results aren’t determined by the treatment alone. They’re shaped by what you do afterwards too.
