A few years ago, I did an instagram live with Andy Millward (Facialist extraordinaire) where we answered all of your questions about the best rosacea treatments – at home and in the salon. The video was so popular that (even years later) I was still directing people to it at least once a week, so I thought it was time to do a proper post about it. I’m so grateful to Andy for answering all of my questions below, I hope you find it useful.
The skin barrier has become a real buzzword in recent years, especially if you have a skin condition that relies on that barrier for its health and happiness. But what on earth is the skin barrier, how can we look after it, and what do we do if it’s damaged?
Vitamin C is one of those ingredients that everyone in-the-know swears by, but I’ve always felt a bit nervous about. I didn’t feel like I knew enough about it and when I started to investigate, I felt completely overwhelmed. Thankfully Dermatica stepped in to help me out. Regular readers will know that I have happily outsourced the more complicated parts of my skincare routine to them (I’ve been using their rosacea formula on and off since 2021 – you can read the full review of that HERE) and that now includes the Dermatica Vitamin C 15% Fresh Batch Ascorbic Acid.
This is a paid collaboration with Dermatica. I’m proud to have been working with them for two and a half years. All views are my own.
I read 122 books this year and I wanted to share my list as there are some flipping BRILLIANT ones. I know that some people can get weird about book challenges and talking about reading goals. For me, setting a goal keeps me on track: instead of doom scrolling on my phone or watching videos on TikTok, I’ll make time in my day to read.
We’ve all been there: you feel so grotty that the thought of dragging your feverish body out of bed to the bathroom to wash your face makes you physically shudder. Don’t worry, I’m here to help and share my best skincare tips for when you’re ill.
