Sarah Murray Beauty + Skin

I share my story most years, and for the last day of Skin Cancer Awareness Month, it feels important to share it again.

When I first noticed this mole, skin cancer wasn’t what I expected.

It wasn’t large.
It wasn’t dramatic.
It wasn’t what I thought skin cancer was supposed to look like.

But after having it checked and biopsied, I received the news that it was a malignant melanoma.

Thankfully, it had been caught early.

I often talk about healthy skin, ageing well and looking after our skin for the future. But skin health isn’t only about treatments, skincare or achieving a glow.

It’s also about paying attention.

Checking your skin.
Noticing changes.
Trusting your instincts when something doesn’t feel quite right.

If you have a mole or mark that has changed, looks different from others around it, or is simply playing on your mind, please get it checked.

Most of the time it will be nothing.

But if it isn’t, catching it early can make all the difference.

It did for me.

With love,
Sarah 🌙

Summer skin isn’t just about SPF ☀️

As much as we love warmer weather, travel and lighter evenings… summer can quietly take a toll on the skin too.

Heat, dehydration, UV exposure, disrupted routines and inflammation can leave skin looking dull, tired and depleted by the end of the season, especially if your skin is already starting to feel a little more dry, sensitive or lacking glow.

These are some of my favourite treatments to support healthy skin throughout the summer months without over stressing the skin barrier.

Think:

✨ hydration
✨ brightness
✨ collagen support
✨ gentle regeneration
✨ maintaining glow in a summer skin friendly way

Because healthy skin > aggressive skin treatments every single time.

If your skin already feels a bit dehydrated or dull, send us a DM and we can guide you towards the best option for your skin this summer 🌞

We had a chonk of an order arrive last week, packed with all our faves, so we thought it might be fun to do a skincare series and show you what each of us ordered in to take home for our own skincare routines. (We love a peek through our friends’ toiletries bags on holidays to compare notes and share favourites so we thought we’d give a glimpse inside all of our skin therapists’!) Starting with Sarah’s core 4 💫
