Tretinoin and Azelaic Acid are all over social media right now with people claiming its a game changer for their skin!

However not everyone can tolerate this combination on their skin care regime.

And as an aesthetic practitioner and skin care lover I feel we need to look at why this trend may not be for everyone! How we can introduce these two ingredients into your skin care safely and how they work.

Most people have heard of tretinoin. Its like retinols big sister and is made from vitamin A. Its great for acne prone skin, getting rid of hyperpigmentation spots and increasing cell turnover.

But Azelaic Acid also really good for fine lines and wrinkles. Its excellent for inflammation as well as rosacea and hyperpigmentation and acne.

So it makes sense to pair these 2 ingredients together in your skin care routine.

However for the wrong person this could be an absolute disaster for their skin. It could take months to recover from. So if you have reactive skin or sensitive skin you need to be careful.Your skin could become very dry and very sore. You could end up with patches of red and burnt skin and your skin could sting. Rather than being the dream skin you thought you could have, you could end up with skin that is more sensitive and reactive.

If you have acne prone skin or you already have dry, tight skin, these are not the products for you.

If you have rosacea Azelaic Acid can be brilliant for you on its own but with the tretinoin it can aggravate the rosacea further. Particularly when you first start using it. So adding it into your routine slowly is important.

You should be using SPF daily anyway ( and not just in your makeup~ use a separate one ). When using Azelaic Acid and tretinoin it becomes even more important to prioritise protecting your skin from the suns harmful rays.

Add these products one at a time and slowly . Azelaic Acid should be used in your morning routine and used maybe once or twice a week initially.

Once the skin is tolerating the Azelaic Acid, maybe 6 to 8 weeks down the line, you can introduce the tretinoin. Following exactly the same method; one or twice a week but during your nighttime routine.

Once your skin is tolerating this, you can start to increase the use of the products to 3, 4 or 5 times a week. Increase until you are using both daily . But increase slowly! VERY SLOWLY!

Many people ( myself included) using the tretinoin 2 or 3 times a week is enough.

If your skin cannot tolerate tretinoin or retinal/retinol, there are plant based alternatives on the market that may suit your skin much better.

Its just all about listening to your skin. If you're skin stings when you put a product on, thats a good indication that there's some ingredients in it that your skin just doesn't like. Red, dry and flaky patches is your skins way of saying " I dont like this".

Please let me tell you a little about me and what i do.

I also have a very special interest in peri/post and menopausal ladies who want to look great while still recognising the face in the mirror. Having gone through the menopause I'm aware of all the insecurities that aging brings . I understand what is happening inside your body and how that is impacting the outside too!

For many ladies going thro the menopause, its not just the weight gain, the hot flushes, brain fog and the generally feeling of rubbish. It's also the feeling that you're loosing you! Your body is changing and that reflected in the mirror. Bone is lost, cheek pads slide down the face and it often seems like theres a new wrinkle on your face every time you look in the mirror. Where did you go?

So regain facial structure, volume loss and skin thinning and start to take back you!

I offer subtle aesthetic treatments that no one else needs to know about! You will see the difference but friends and family just see you looking......Great! Refreshed, rejuvenated and revitalised.

Filler doesn't have to look overdone, big and fake. Filler can look subtle and natural and beautiful.

I love a natural looking tweakment!

I also love looking after my skin.

It enhances my tweakments; and my tweakments enhance my skincare results.
So for me , they go hand in hand.

If you're having tweakments but not doing skincare, you're doing your skin dirty!

To get the very best out of your tweakments. You need a skincare routine. And like everything, its all about consistency.

Having a consistent skin care routine can make a massive difference to our skin. But we need to use the right products for our skins needs.

With all the different ingredients in skincare these days it can be just a little confusing deciding which product is right for you .

❓️Then there's what order we use our products in.
❓️Does serum go before our moisturiser or after?
❓️And how often/when are we applying our skincare products?

⚠️Let's see if I can help you.

Azelaic Acid - clears post acne marks. Build up slowly and use daily.

Niacinamide - minimises enlarged pores. Use daily.

Vitamin C - brightens and even skin tone. Use daily if your skin can take it. You may need to build up to using daily. ( personally I use it 3 x per week max)

BHA - clears out clogged pores.
Use once or twice a week. Can cause irritation so go gently with this .

AHA - Smoothes rough textured skin. Use once or twice a week. Can cause irritation so again go gently.

Hyuralonic Acid - hydrates your skin . Use daily. Twice a day.

Benzoyl Peroxide - tackles acne. Use daily but only if your skin can take it.

Sunscreen - use an SPF daily. 30+ at least. Even if it's cloudy. The sun is the number 1 reason for skin damage.

Retinol - Reduces fine lines and wrinkles. Can be used every night but you will need to build up to this slowly. You will 💯 need an SPF EVERY SINGLE DAY as retinol WILL make you susceptible to burning - even on a cloudy day. Don't let this put you off.....retinol is an amazing treatment for the skin as it promotes cell turnover. ( makes new skin).

Now we have our products sorted, what order do we use them in?

✔️Double cleanse, ( an oil based cleanser first to melt away the days grime and then a water based cleanser)
✔️hydrating toner, you can use several toners if you like, as long as they're hydrating toners!
✔️Vit C/ AHA or BHA ( use only in the mornings. And use only 1 at a time. eg. dont use an AHA and vit c at the same time. They can be quite spicy on the skin)
✔️serum,
✔️Retinol ( evenings only) ✔️Moisturiser
✔️Sun protection ( mornings only but every morning. Regardless of the weather)

✔️Remove all your makeup every evening.

❤️ Make yourself a priority.....even if it is just for 10 minutes, twice a day . And you will see the difference on you skin.....sooner than you think!

I offer a beautiful range of facial treatments.. as well as injectable treatments! Microneedling facials, microbrasion facials and chemical peels.
Selfcare is not selfish, it's a necessity.
