ACNE AWARENESS 💙

Not every bump, breakout or area of congestion is acne.

One of the most common things I see in clinic is clients assuming they have acne when, in reality, their skin barrier is damaged and crying out for support.

A compromised skin barrier can leave the skin feeling tight, sensitive, reactive and congested. It may even develop small bumps that can easily be mistaken for acne.

The problem is that many people then reach for stronger acids, harsh scrubs or drying products, believing they need to "fight" the breakouts. Unfortunately, this can weaken the skin barrier even further and make the problem worse.

As a Corneotherapist, my focus is always on understanding why your skin is behaving the way it is before recommending a treatment plan. Healthy skin starts with a healthy skin barrier, so restoring its function is often the first step towards calmer, more resilient skin.

I'm also working alongside Rose Paul, looking at acne from both the outside and the inside. While I focus on restoring skin health externally, Rose explores the internal factors that may be influencing the skin, because achieving healthier skin is often about understanding the whole picture.

If you're in Ipswich or the surrounding area and unsure whether you're dealing with acne or a compromised skin barrier, a professional consultation can provide the clarity you need. Every skin is unique, and your treatment plan should be too.

ACNE AWARENESS MONTH 💙

Not all acne is the same... so why treat it that way?

One of the biggest myths about acne is that all breakouts are the same.

The truth? They’re not.

Blackheads, whiteheads, inflammatory papules, hormonal breakouts and cystic acne all have different characteristics and may require different approaches. What works brilliantly for one person could make someone else’s skin worse.

That’s why chasing the latest viral product or following influencer recommendations isn’t always the answer.

As a Corneotherapist, my role is to look beyond the blemishes and understand why your skin is behaving the way it is. By assessing your skin barrier, lifestyle, skincare routine and individual concerns, we can create a plan that supports your skin rather than overwhelms it.

And because acne is rarely just skin deep, I’m delighted to be collaborating with Rose Paul throughout Acne Awareness Month and beyond. While I focus on supporting the skin from the outside, Rose explores the internal influences that may contribute to breakouts, helping us take a more holistic view of skin health.

If you’re struggling with acne, the first step isn’t buying another product – it’s understanding your skin and body.

Ready to understand what’s driving your acne? Book a skin consultation and take the first step towards a personalised plan tailored to your skin, because not all acne is the same, and neither is the person experiencing it.

Just one month between these photos… and what a difference.

Skin isn't an overnight fix, but sometimes when you stop overwhelming it and start supporting it properly, it begins to turn around surprisingly quickly.

We introduced just three Prologic products:
🤍 Cream Cleanser
🤍 Luna Calm
🤍 Omega 3 Oil

Alongside this, we started skin soaking and stripped away the "ultra-processed" skincare, replacing it with what I like to call clean eating for the skin.

Just as our bodies thrive on real, nourishing food, our skin often responds best when we feed it ingredients that support its natural function instead of overloading it with unnecessary extras.

The result after only four weeks? A calmer complexion, reduced redness, and a much happier skin barrier. And this is just the beginning.

If your skin feels constantly reactive, red or irritated, it might not need more products – it might just need the right ones. Drop me a message in the comments or send me a DM if you'd like to chat about where to start.

Because your skin deserves real nourishment, not ultra-processed skincare.

ACNE AWARENESS MONTH 💙

This month, I'll be focusing on breaking down common acne myths and helping you feel more knowledgeable and confident about your skin.

One of the biggest misconceptions about acne is that it's simply a teenage problem.

The reality is that acne can affect people of all ages. I regularly see clients in their 20s, 30s, 40s and beyond who are struggling with persistent breakouts, inflammation and the emotional impact that acne can have.

Acne is a complex skin condition that develops beneath the surface of the skin long before a spot becomes visible. What you see on the surface is often just one small part of a much bigger picture.

Hormones, genetics, stress, lifestyle, nutrition, skin barrier function and inappropriate skincare can all play a role.

This is why there is rarely a one-size-fits-all solution.

As a Corneotherapist, my focus is on understanding what may be contributing to your acne and supporting the skin to function as healthily as possible. Rather than stripping, over-exfoliating or aggressively treating the skin, we work to restore barrier function, reduce inflammation and create a personalised plan based on your skin's individual needs.

Throughout Acne Awareness Month, I'll also be collaborating with Nutritional Therapist Rose Paul to explore some of the internal factors that can influence skin health. Together we'll be looking at acne from both the outside and the inside, helping you gain a better understanding of the many factors that may be affecting your skin.

Understanding what is happening beneath the surface is the first step towards achieving healthier skin.

When it comes to acne, there is rarely a single cause and there is rarely a single solution.

That's why Rose and I wanted to come together this Acne Awareness Month to share some simple dietary changes that may help support acne-prone skin.

As a Nutritional Therapist, Rose looks at what may be influencing the skin from the inside. Through a detailed assessment of diet, lifestyle and health history, she helps clients identify factors that may be contributing to inflammation, hormonal imbalance and skin concerns.

As a Corneotherapist and Skin Specialist, I work from the outside in.

Corneotherapy is often described as "clean healthy eating for your skin". Rather than using harsh treatments and products that can compromise the skin barrier, the focus is on restoring skin function, reducing inflammation and supporting the skin to work as nature intended.

The reality is that acne is complex.

For some people, diet may be a significant piece of the puzzle. For others, hormones, stress, barrier damage, inappropriate skincare or lifestyle factors may play a bigger role.

The best outcomes often come from taking a step back and looking at the whole picture.

If you're struggling with acne and feel like you've tried everything, working with a professional can help you understand what may be driving your breakouts and create a plan that is tailored specifically to you. Start your own journey by booking in for a consultation with us.

Which of these five dietary changes would be easiest for you to try?

SKIN by Leanne Moss & Rose Paul Nutrition, uniting skin expertise and nutritional support to treat skin issues at the root. Together, we transform skin health.

We’re so excited to finally share this…

I’ve teamed up with the lovely Rose Paul, Nutritionist, to dive deeper into something I’m truly passionate about – the powerful link between what’s going on inside your body and how your skin behaves on the outside.

We’re featured in the May edition of Suffolk Magazine, where we talk all about skin health and nutrition, and why no skincare routine is ever truly complete without looking at your diet and lifestyle too.

This is just the beginning…
Over the coming weeks, we’ll be sharing a whole series of posts breaking it all down – from gut health and breakouts, to inflammation, ageing, and the foods that can genuinely support your skin, especially our favourite Omegas.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing “all the right things” with your skincare but still not seeing results… this is for you.

Keep an eye out – there’s so much to come.

P.S. Rose is organising for me to have my microbiome tested so we can really see what’s going on inside. This means any support she gives can be completely bespoke, something I know would be incredible for so many of my clients, especially those struggling with rosacea and acne.

That persistent rash looking area around your mouth, nose, or eyes that will not seem to go away. It might not be acne.

Perioral dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that causes clusters of red papules and pustules in the periorificial zones. It is often accompanied by burning, tightness, and irritation. And it is frequently misdiagnosed.

If this sounds familiar, keep following along this month. We are going deep on Perioral Dermatitis.
