Lakeside Skin Therapy

Dehydrated skin is very different from dry skin. And a change in season is an ideal time for both to present on your skin (face and/or body!).

If you’re unsure what type you may have, at Lakeside Skin we are able to help you determine not only if your skin is dehydrated or dry, but also what your next steps would be to help repair your skin barrier.

Stress induced skin inflammation occurs when your brain’s stress response system triggers the release of hormones like cortisol and chemicals called neuropeptides. 

These hormones reach the skin and can cause havoc, increasing oil production, impairing the skin’s moisture barrier, and causing immune cells to trigger redness, itching, and irritation.

It’s important to remember that stress induced inflammation does not just create new problems. It is a major culprit in aggravating preexisting conditions.

The BEETOX Method®️| Australia’s first Lymphatic Wellness Spa body brushes now available in salon 💌

Regular body brushing provides mild mechanical exfoliation, helping to remove accumulated dead skin cells without disrupting the skin barrier when used correctly. This can leave the skin feeling smoother, softer, and more receptive to moisturising products.

Body brushing may also support lymphatic flow through gentle stimulation of the skin and underlying tissues. While it is not a medical treatment for lymphatic conditions, many people incorporate body brushing into their self-care routine to promote circulation, reduce feelings of puffiness, and encourage overall skin wellness.

As with all corneotherapeutic practices, the goal is to work with the skin—not against it—by maintaining barrier integrity while supporting healthy skin function.

Body brushes are now available for purchase in clinic 🤗

Prologic Skin Care Australia Conference 2026 | Day 1 Recap 🤍
It’s taken me a little longer than planned to share these highlights from the Prologic Skincare Australia Conference. It’s been a busy week back in clinic, and I’ve absolutely loved seeing all of your familiar faces again.

Reflecting on Day 1, we explored some fascinating topics including menopause and skin health, the skin microbiome, barrier function, and the powerful connection between the brain and skin.
One of my biggest takeaways was the reminder that skin doesn’t function in isolation. Hormones, stress, inflammation, immune health, and our skin barrier all work together, influencing how our skin looks, feels, and functions every day.
The conference reinforced something I am incredibly passionate about: treating skin holistically and understanding the underlying factors that contribute to healthy, resilient skin.

I’m so grateful for opportunities like this to continue learning, growing, and bringing the latest evidence-based skin knowledge back to Lakeside Skin Therapies and to each of you.

Thank you for keeping me busy since returning, I wouldn’t have it any other way. 🤍

Stay tuned for my Day 2 highlights.
