Luxe Glow Aesthetics
Welcome to Luxe Glow Aesthetics by Martha Shiloane—where elegance meets skin science.
With 14 years of expertise in skincare and medical aesthetics, I offer a refined approach to beauty, blending luxury with transformative results.
Your oily skin is producing excess oil because it’s dehydrated, not because it’s thriving. And you’ve been making it worse.
Here’s what’s actually happening: when your skin barrier is compromised—from over-stripping products, heat, or internal inflammation—your skin loses water. Your body panics. It floods your sebaceous glands, trying to seal that barrier with oil. So you get oily skin that’s simultaneously dehydrated and inflamed. It’s broken.
Most people respond by drying it out more. Benzoyl peroxide. Salicylic acid. Nothing topical. The barrier gets worse. The oil gets worse. The breakouts get worse. You’re fighting fire with gasoline.
Oily skin needs a lightweight hydrating moisturiser—one that restores barrier function without occluding. Once your barrier heals, the inflammation drops, and your sebum production normalizes. You’ve got balanced, clear skin instead of an endless cycle.
The moisturiser you’ve been avoiding is the one that actually works.
Save this and test it for 30 days.
As a small business owner I really appreciate you spreading the word about me and my business and how I have helped you. That is the ultimate best way to tip me 
Myth busting series part 1.
Your hormonal breakouts aren’t just about your hormones. They’re about your gut. Dysbiosis disrupts how your body metabolizes estrogen, which means no amount of skincare can fix what’s happening systemically. And here’s what most protocols miss: hormonal acne isn’t a skin problem. It’s your immune system responding to an imbalance. Hormonal spikes trigger inflammatory cytokines—inflammation your topicals can’t stop.
They can only interrupt it. This is why drying products never worked for you. This is why one product will never fix it. Your acne is telling you something about what’s happening inside your body. Not just on your skin. Save this.
The assessment starts here.

Everyone’s doing the flag trend this week. Here are some of my favourites.
Swipe through for the truths we tell our clients daily, the ones that don’t always make it into the treatment room conversation but should.
Your skin is an investment, not an expense. Micro-needling doesn’t just treat your skin, it trains it to repair itself. And yes, the bush has gone too far. We see you.
If any of these hit home, you know where to find us. Book your consultation and let’s actually fix the thing you keep covering up.

Smoother texture, tighter skin, fewer breakouts over time. That is what is happening on screen. Off screen it is just the two of us deep in conversation about absolutely nothing. Welcome to skincare and yap. The microneedling does the heavy lifting while we catch up, which might be the best kind of multitasking there is. This is why my clients treat their sessions like therapy with better skin at the end of it.

Instagram finally lets you comment with a photo, so let’s use it properly.
Drop a clear picture of whatever has been bothering you about your skin in the comments and I will tell you what I am actually looking at. Congestion along the jaw, breakouts that keep coming back in the same spot, texture that makes up sit badly, dark marks left behind after a pimple, ingrowns from waxing or shaving, redness that never fully settles. Whatever it is, show me. If you would rather not post your skin in the open, DM me the photo instead and we keep it completely private.
For the photo to be useful to me, take it in natural light, no makeup, no filter, and get reasonably close so I can see the skin itself. A straight-on shot and one from the side helps me read texture and congestion far better than a perfect selfie.
This is the same way I start every consultation. I assess before I treat, every time, because the same breakout can have three different causes and each one needs a different plan. You guessing at home is how skin gets worse. Me looking properly is how it gets better.
Comment your photo below, or DM it to me if you would prefer, and I will reply. When you are ready to actually fix it, book a full consultation through the link in bio.

I said what I said, and she’s still going to do it the second this ends.
The Jonasi-level unbothered is actually impressive.
Jokes aside, at-home chemical peels are the fastest way to a damaged barrier, post-inflammatory pigmentation, and burns I then have to spend months a. A peel belongs in trained hands, on assessed skin, at the right strength. That is the whole point of a professional treatment.
If you want the results without the damage, book a proper peel through the link in bio.
Most people think microneedling is about poking holes in your skin. That is the surface explanation and it is missing everything that actually matters.
What is really happening is a controlled wound healing response. The micro-injuries signal your body to send growth factors to the area. Those growth factors activate your fibroblasts, the cells responsible for producing collagen. Your skin then rebuilds with more collagen than it started with.
Thicker dermis. Tighter texture. Smoother surface. Faded scarring. Not because something was applied on top of your skin but because your skin was given a reason to rebuild itself from within.
This is the treatment I reach for when a client has tried everything and nothing has moved the needle. Because nothing topical can do what your own biology can.

You have been told dermaplaning is just peach fuzz removal. What you are actually watching is the removal of weeks of dead skin buildup, vellus hair, and surface congestion that has been sitting between your skincare and your skin.
When that layer is gone, your skin does not just look smoother. It reflects light differently. Your products absorb instead of sit. Your foundation stops clinging to texture you did not know was there.
