Gina Answers: Can Your Gut Health Affect Your Skin?

Did you know that what’s happening inside your gut can show up on your skin?

Breakouts, inflammation and changes in the skin can sometimes be influenced by what’s happening internally. That’s why, at PSCL, Gina believes in looking beyond topical products and in-clinic treatments alone — and considering the bigger picture.
Your gut and your skin form part of an interconnected system, and factors such as digestive health, diet, stress and inflammation may all play a role in how your skin behaves.

Healthy skin isn’t always just about what you put ON it — sometimes, we need to look at what’s happening within.
At PSCL, we take an individualised approach to your skin, helping you understand possible contributing factors and creating a treatment and skincare plan suited to you.

Struggling with persistent breakouts or skin concerns that just won’t settle? Don’t keep guessing.

Book your consultation with PSCL today and let us help you get to the root of what your skin may be telling you.

MY CLIENT SERIOUSLY JUST DID THIS…
When you’re desperate to get rid of pigmentation, it can be tempting to try almost anything — but this is one we NEVER expected.
A client recently came to PSCL with severely inflamed, irritated skin after trying to remove her pigmentation by scrubbing her cheeks with sandpaper!

Unfortunately, pigmentation such as melasma isn’t something you can simply “scrub away.” In fact, aggressive exfoliation and trauma to the skin can cause inflammation and potentially make pigmentation even more difficult to manage.

At PSCL, our first priority is now to calm, repair and restore her compromised skin barrier before we even think about treating the pigmentation.
If you’re struggling with stubborn pigmentation, please don’t let desperation lead you to extreme DIY treatments. Your skin needs understanding, patience and the right professional treatment plan.

Put the sandpaper down. Come and talk to us instead.

South Africa’s Dr. Pimple Popper is back!

There’s something strangely satisfying about watching a good extraction… but there’s a BIG difference between professional extraction and squeezing at home.

At PSCL, Gina carefully assesses the skin and performs extractions using the correct technique, hygiene protocols and professional care to minimise unnecessary trauma to the skin.
Picking and squeezing at home can push inflammation deeper, damage the surrounding tissue and increase your risk of scarring and post-inflammatory pigmentation.

So when temptation strikes… step away from the mirror.
Leave the popping to South Africa’s Dr. Pimple Popper!

Book your skin consultation and let the professionals handle the rest.

IF IT’S EXPENSIVE, IT WORKS! … OR DOES IT?
One of the biggest skincare myths is that a bigger price tag automatically means better results.
In this reel, Gina explains the important difference between cosmetic and cosmeceutical skincare — and why she’s seen clients spend thousands on beautiful imported products, only to achieve better results after changing to the right professionally recommended products.

✨ It’s not about the fancy packaging.
✨ It’s not about the fragrance.
✨ And it’s definitely not about the price tag.

It’s about the formulation, active ingredients and choosing products that are right for YOUR skin.
Before spending a fortune on the latest luxury serum, find out what your skin actually needs.

At PSCL, we’re interested in results — not price tags.

DARK CIRCLES & HOLLOWING UNDER THE EYES — WHY DOES IT HAPPEN?

Dark circles aren’t always just a sign that you need more sleep!
In this reel, Gina explains why the eye area can become darker and more hollow as we age. Genetics can play a big role, but so can thinning skin, increased visibility of blood vessels, loss of volume beneath the eyes and even congested sinuses.

As the supporting tissue changes and volume shifts, that familiar under-eye hollow can become more noticeable.
The good news? While we can’t change our genetics, there are ways to improve, support, firm and rejuvenate the delicate eye area — but the right approach depends on what is actually causing your dark circles.

At PSCL, we believe in treating the cause, not simply covering the symptom.
