Need some inspiration for what to read next? Or just need to compulsively fill your wishlist with books even though you have stacks of unread books sitting right next to you? You are my people. Here are the 100 books I read last year, my top 25 book recommendations, and some tips on how to read more.
I have been talking about rosacea on my blog for over 12 years and one of the most common questions I get is about prescription treatments. I hadn’t used a prescription rosacea treatment for nearly 16 years so I am very excited to share the results after using my Dermatica treatment for 3 months.
In case you’ve not heard of Dermatica, they offer custom-made, prescription skincare treatments and they were the first in the UK to offer an online prescription-strength, evidence-based rosacea treatment tailored to your personal needs. Their goal is to make skincare treatments accessible and affordable for everyone. Shall we get into the details?
JAN ’23 UPDATE: I’ve now been using Dermatica for 17 months and am still really happy with it. I have recently tweaked my formula to include retinoids/Vitamin A – you can read my full review of the new formula HERE.
JAN ’24 UPDATE: I’m not using Dermatica anymore, but I still really recommended it to anyone who needs help with their skin. As a result, I’m not sure that the discount codes below will work but if you google recent reviews you’ll be able to find a discount code!
This is a paid collaboration with Dermatica.

A few days ago on Instagram, I mentioned the cold weather and the impact it was having on my rosacea and asked if people were interested in me resharing my cold weather rosacea tips.
I’ve been a bit absent on my blog recently. A house move, combined with lingering stress from the past 18 months of madness has left me feeling lacking in the inspiration department. So I sat down and thought about what I used to love writing about on here. And obviously the first answer was skincare, alongside sharing products and tips that help others to find products that work for their sensitive skin. I scanned my skincare shelf for products I’ve been using for ages and want to rave about and the Medik8 Press & Glow Exfoliating PHA Tonic absolutely ticks those boxes.
I am thrilled to introduce you to one of the newest additions to the Real Skin Club family: Mirror Stickers. These took a lot of planning behind the scenes as I just couldn’t find a company who could make them to my high standards without charging me an absolutely fortune. So I took a leap of faith, bought a machine, and taught myself how to make them! Every single mirror sticker is hand-designed, handmade, and hand-packed by me and I could not be prouder. Wondering what the hell mirror stickers even are? All the details are below…
