MY WEBSITE IS LIVE 🌐

This has been a really long time coming but it looks spectacular.

I cannot thank enough. I enquired about a website wkmith her years ago when I first started but I couldn't fund it back then. Here we are now and I stuck with the best rather than choosing something cheaper that judt didn't align. She understood my brand and my vision so clearly and I am so proud of what we have created.

Please go and check it out via the link and give it some love ❤️

Eating whole food should not feel difficult but thw world has made it feel that way 🫒🥗

Processed foods are the nemesis for so many health conditions, acne, skin concerns but it is so easy to swept up in them, even foods labelled as 'health' foods.

It's an adjustment for sure when you switch from eating convience foods to whole foods and the intial thought process may feel hard but once you get into the swing of it, it can actually be very simple.

I stopped trying to cook complicated meals with lots of ingredients and really simplified everything down and was eating very similar foods each day but I'm still not bored. I've cooked a sweet potato every day for 8 weights but in many different ways and I'm still enjoying it.

What was hard was the convience if I was out and about without any pre-pared food. It really made me realise how much processed food was readily available but want something less processed and you may struggle.

Whole food really is healing. Your skin, body, hair, nails really will thank you for being mindful of the processed foods you are consuming and increasing the whole foods.

Not all vitamins and supplements are created equal some cheaper formulations include formulations that some bodies cannot cope woth

Take vitamin B for example - I checked mine and the B12 was formulated from cheap cyanocobalamin

Methylcobalamin is considered the “active” form of vitamin B12 — meaning your body can use it immediately without needing to convert it first.

But why does that matter? Because many people struggle with B12 conversion due to stress, gut issues, genetics, nutrient deficiencies, or poor liver function. So even if you may be taking vitamins to feel better but your body may not actually be using it efficiently and it can back up in your system and cause issues like acne because you are placing more burden on an already stressed body.

The right formulation and ingredients matter in your supplements anf unfortunatly the ones that are £4 from boots just aren't going to be bioavailable within your body and you may adwell just through your money down the toilet.

The form matters. Absorption matters. Function matters.

Head to the link in bio for 10% off Healf supplements where every single thing on offer has been checked to be bioavailable, absorbable and formulated with your health in mind.

Now, I'm not a blowing my own trumpet but i get ALOT of comments about my skin, on here, in the clinic, in person but let me tell you it hasn't always looked like this!

Here is a list of things I DON'T do as a skin slecilist that might surprise you.

1️⃣ I don't exfoliate often
I do a professional exfoliation evry 3-4 weeks and skip on those at home pore-pads/harsh toners.

2️⃣ I don't use retinol!
My skin just loves barrier supporting products and brighting ingredients. I may use it in the future but I don't feel I need it at the moment.

3️⃣ I don't cleanse in the morning.
This is a hill I am prepared to die on. Your skin has it's very own microbiome and cleasning too often disrupts the skin helahty bacterias and this can lead to impaired skin barrier.

4️⃣ I don't have a 10 step routine
I use 3/4 products morning and evening and some of them overlap - It does not have to be complicated to be effective, it just has to work for your skintype

5️⃣ I don't rely solely on skincare
Diet, lifestyle, sleep, stress, detoxification all play a part in how your skin functions - it is your bodies largest organ afterall

6️⃣ Most importantly, I don't beat myself for every blemish or imperfection.
We are human beings, we are flawed - period. And every single person in unique and beautiful. Stressing about the odd blemish doesn't make it go away, it makes you feel like s**t.

Now tell me, which one of these surpised you most 👇
