In today's YouTube, I’ll dive into exactly who should use vitamin C, how to use it for dreamy results, and the skincare that works brilliantly when used alongside it.

We know it’s essential because scurvy due to vitamin C deficiency causes poor wound healing - that’s why it’s vital if you want strong, functional collagen.
But it also helps deliver a bright, even skin-tone because it suppresses the rate-limiting enzyme tyrosinase.
Finally, it helps prevent premature ageing through its ability to neutralise harmful free radicals and minimise oxidative stress, which triggers a cascade of events from increased collagen breakdown and damaged elastin.
Adopt an inside-out approach. Make sure you’re getting plenty of vitamin C from your diet - think citrus fruits, kiwis (my favourite) and berries. And top up with the form of topical vitamin C that’s right for your skin.

Have you ever wondered why it took me so long to introduce a vitamin C serum into my skincare line? I mean, six years is quite the wait, right? Well, let me peel back the layers and share the journey that led to the creation of what I believe is a game-changer in skincare: the Flawless Vitamin C NAD+ Serum.

Without a healthy barrier, your skin is more prone to sensitivity and flare-ups of acne, rosacea or eczema. Over-cleansing, over-exfoliating, too many active ingredients, air conditioning and sun exposure can all cause chaos with your complexion!
These tips will help you build a strong, healthy skin barrier that looks bright, smooth and is ready for actives!
I talk to a lot of people in the beauty industry and I have no doubt that many of these retinoid…let's call them rumours…. are the reason that people are skipping them and losing out on the incredible results they can deliver. So let’s look at the top 6 myths that might be holding you back.
0:00 Intro
1:07 Myth 1 'Retinoids thin the skin;
2:45 Myth 2 'You can't use retinoids if you have sensitive skin'
6:47 Myth 3 'All retinoids are the same'
10:10 Myth 4 'Retinoids can't be used in Summer'
11:30 Myth 5 'Retinoids exfoliate your skin'
13:04 Myth 6 'You can't use retinoids around your eyes'

This is not an effective approach - it’s best reserved for tackling and preventing the signs of sun damage instead. In fact, I’d actively avoid it in anyone experiencing an acne flare.
Instead, seek out multitasking ingredients that work on post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation at the same time as reducing the risk of breakouts in the first place. I love the azelaic acid/retinoid double whammy for this reason - it tackles acne in multiple ways and is the secret to getting ahead of your breakouts, rather than reacting to them! ✨

As the appetite for active skincare continues to soar, it’s unsurprising that, in parallel, the quest for the ideal barrier cream continues. It's understood that a little occasional dryness and irritation is the price we pay for all the benefits that come from using powerful ingredients like retinoids. But with an ever-increasing number of barrier repair creams on the market, in every format, how do you choose the right one for you? In this video, I will help you decide.

Your skin knows how to repair itself, but it needs enough energy to do so.
By the time you’ve reached the age of 40, your battery is running at around 50% so there’s little reserve for the impact of the sun.
I’m excited by the breakthrough ingredient Sunflower Shoot Extract which boosts NAD+ levels and recharges your skin’s battery and solves a damaged skin barrier from the inside-out, rather than the traditional outside-in method (like slugging), which can be found on our NEW Flawless Moisture Intense 💧

Bottom line, a healthy, robust skin barrier = glowy, hydrated skin; whilst a compromised skin barrier = dry, sensitive, intolerant and even eczema-prone skin.

I met one of my favourite people for the first time last month - how is that so, you may ask? Well, Cassandra Banskson and I have been virtual friends since our love of sharing advice on skincare brought us together (via YouTube) a few years ago. It was a mutual love-fest - and our common ground? Acne.
Cassandra has amassed a phenomenal following through her relatable-yet-utterly informative content as an experienced aesthetician who’s seen it all. She shares a lot of her own history with skin issues, often with such vulnerability you just want to hug her. So when we finally got together IRL, it was obvious that we should share our own journeys with acne. This became quite an intense, intimate chat and, of course, we overran. I hope you’ll bear with us and stay the distance because we share lots of advice as we go. So grab a cuppa and get to know Cassandra and me a little better in today’s video.

Let's go back to the beginning—the clinic.
Our philosophy was different. We wanted to give patients more time to address their skin concerns and feel confident without makeup. We created a comprehensive plan, focusing on neglected areas like skincare basics, providing the right products with the right ingredients. But we knew our approach wasn't for everyone.
So, we came up with the idea of an affordable doctor-led skincare brand that would truly transform your skin. It hasn't been easy, facing challenges like a global pandemic, but our customers' reviews keep us motivated.
Simplicity, expertise, and transformational results have been key to our success. Inspired by Apple's simplicity, we brought it to our brand. We educate and guide our customers through video content. The results are remarkable, with noticeable differences and compliments from friends.
We're grateful for the support and advice from generous individuals and our amazing clinic colleagues. Our brand team's creativity and passion for an exceptional customer experience have been instrumental. Our community, both online and in the clinic, has shown incredible support. You are the fuel behind our success. Thank you all for your ongoing support!

Managing KP and making your skin look better is absolutely possible. In my experience, a combination approach works best. KP involves both a barrier issue and a skin cell differentiation problem, so we need to tackle both aspects to enhance the appearance of your skin.
In today's video, I'll share my two-step approach to treating keratosis pilaris. By following these steps, you'll be able to improve the appearance of your skin and, ultimately, boost your skin confidence.

Preparing for these events can be challenging, but with a little bit of thorough prep, you'll be ready to shine. Remember, taking a little-and-often approach is much less daunting than scrambling to do it all just two nights before your holiday.
In this video, I'll walk you through each step of the plan, ensuring that you're fully equipped for that radiant summer glow. However, if there's something specific you do to get summer-ready that I haven't covered, I'd love to hear from you! Share your tips in the comments below—I'm curious to know!

Today I try something a little bit different and share what I eat in a day to achieve my dietary goals, focusing on high quality protein consumption, plenty of “good” fats and harnessing the power of anti-inflammatory foods. “Inflammaging” affects all our tissues, not just our skin so this approach to your diet has far-reaching effects beyond healthy skin.
I’m not suggesting I do this every single day - perhaps 80% of the time - but I find that creating a habit of eating well becomes easier the more you do it.
