Something NEW has landed at Tropic… ❤️ Meet Skin Dream Advanced Firming Night Cream — and this week I’m comparing it with Medik8 Advanced Night Restore and No7 Restore & Renew.

🍂 As we head into autumn, cooler weather and central heating can leave skin feeling drier, so now is a great time to look at what your night cream is actually doing.

❤️ Skin Dream Advanced is a serious upgrade. With bio-retinol, plant ceramides, peptides and other targeted actives, it’s designed to support the skin barrier while helping skin look firmer, smoother and more radiant overnight.

And the reported results after 28 days? 👀
✨ 100% smoother-looking skin
✨ 100% more radiant-looking skin
✨ 95% visibly reduced wrinkles
✨ 95% firmer, more lifted-looking skin

💷 AND WHAT ABOUT PRICE?

❤️ Tropic Skin Dream Advanced — £58 / 50ml
🤍 Medik8 Advanced Night Restore — £62 / 50ml
💗 No7 Restore & Renew — around £35 / 50ml

So Tropic sits below Medik8 on price while giving you a seriously advanced, vegan and cruelty-free formula.

📱 But what do the ingredients say? Watch the Yuka comparison to see how all three score!

Because price and a well-known brand name don’t always tell you what’s actually inside the pot. 👀

Good morning Sunday 🤍

There’s something about going away that gives you the reset you didn’t realise you needed.

A change of scenery, slower mornings, time to switch off, laugh, reflect and just step away from normal life for a little while.

But as much as I love going away, I love coming home too. ❤️

Back to my family.
Back to morning walks with Kobe 🐾
Back to routine.
Back to work.
Back to my clients.
And back feeling refreshed, motivated and ready for what’s next.

Sometimes stepping away is exactly what you need to come back with a clearer head, a fresh perspective and a little more energy. ✨

And I’m definitely ready for the next few months!

My diary is now open right through until the end of the year, skin consultations are available, and there is SO much happening with Tropic that I can’t wait to share.

The final few months of 2026… let’s make them good ones. 🤍

2 years later... ✨

These brows were originally created in 2024, and today it was time for their colour boost.

One of the biggest misconceptions about permanent makeup is that it stays dark and blocky forever. The truth? Beautifully done brows should fade gradually and naturally over time, leaving you with a softer version of your brows rather than harsh, solid blocks of colour.

That’s exactly why top-ups exist. They refresh the shape, restore the colour and keep your brows looking natural year after year.

If your brows are starting to fade, it doesn’t mean they’ve “gone wrong” – it means they’re doing exactly what they should. 💛

Thinking your brows might be due a refresh? Drop me a message to book your consultation.

🚩 When I see the words “MEDICAL GRADE” being used to sell skincare… 😬

Here’s the thing — “medical grade” is largely a marketing term, not a regulated category that automatically means a product is stronger, more effective or better for your skin.

And seeing “medical grade facial” doesn’t automatically make a treatment more advanced either.

If something genuinely requires medical prescribing, that’s different — it becomes a prescription medicine/treatment and needs to be prescribed by an appropriately qualified prescriber.

So don’t choose your skincare simply because the words medical grade are written on it. 👀

Look at:
✨ The ingredients
✨ The formulation
✨ The evidence
✨ Whether it’s actually right for YOUR skin

Because a fancy label doesn’t guarantee better results.

Skincare marketing vs skincare facts — know the difference. 👏

It’s a journey, not a race 🤍

You don’t need to have it all figured out. You don’t need to be moving at the same pace as everyone else.

Some seasons are for growing, some are for learning, some are simply for getting through.

Keep going. Keep showing up. And most importantly, go at your own pace. ✨

Your journey is yours — don’t compare your chapter to someone else’s. 🫶🏼
