Your lifestyle plays a huge part in the quality of your skin. Factors that fall into ‘lifestyle’ include where you live, where you work, your hobbies and activities, stress levels, sleep quality and the environment you’re in.  

​

As part of The Ultimate Skin Transformation Audit™, we will look at the key areas that are affecting your skin and wellbeing and find ways to make simple, sustainable and powerful changes.  This may be through the products you’re using, or discovering ways to improve your sleep and reduce stress levels.

I’m going to start by saying that this doesn’t mean living like a saint!  We will look at your diet and identify simple changes that you can make to improve the quality of your skin and help you feel more energised and energetic.

 

As a Nutritionist, I take a holistic approach when it comes to nutrition. We will explore potential foods that you may be intolerant to and look at where you may benefit from adding in a supplement. This is about making simple changes that you will be able to sustain for the long term. 

​

If you are experiencing peri-menopause or menopausal symptoms, my special skills and confidence in education programme will help and support you.

Hormones wreck havoc with your skin and your well being. They are feisty little things and can cause all sorts of issues, including pigmentation, dry & sensitive skin, itching, not to mention fluctuations in body temperature, brain fog and mood swings. 

We are considered to be perimenopausal from the age of 35, entering into menopause at around 52. So that’s a long time to be battling hormonal imbalances!

 

The 4 biggest culprits are cortisol, insulin, oestrogen and thyroid.  As part of your consultation, we will identify whether you may be experiencing hormonal imbalances. Simple, yet powerful changes can be made to help your hormones re-balance.

Supplements can really help your skin and your overall well being. 

​

We will discuss whether supplements may be beneficial to you. My favourite anti-ageing supplement is Advanced nutrition programme which is 360 approach .

​

Supplements not only help us on a daily basis, but really enhance the results from advanced skin treatments, as they aid the healing process.  All of this goes towards optimising your results.

Medical conditions and medications care really have an impact on your skin and can be responsible for some of the most common skin conditions.  

​

Did you know that the contraceptive pill can be responsible for pigmentation (dark patches)? The menopause can cause skin to be dry, sensitive and itchy.  Thyroid disorders can cause dull skin and acne medications can cause extreme sensitity and the effects of chemotherapy can still be seen on your skin for many months. 

​

As part of your  program and my expert clinical skills as advanced clinical pharmacist , we will identify where your health may be impacting your skin and address this as part of your bespoke program. 

The products and treatments that I recommend for you will depend on the results from your pre-consultation questions and your consultation. 

​

I will take into account your skin type, skin conditions, lifestyle, health, diet & nutrition and also your skin goals.  I should point out right here, that whilst your program is focused around achieving your skin goals, it is also a program that will help you to improve your overall well being, helping you glow inside and out. 

​

I will make recommendations for your skincare products, which are simple & sustainable, with that luxury we all love and deserve.  It’s important to me to provide a skincare range that is  both reasonably priced and results driven, which is what I have created my own skin care range with my pharmaceutical skills 

We will also discuss clinic treatments that will help you to achieve your skincare goals, together with at home tools and treatments that you can use too. 

Technically, these come under ‘Lifestyle’ above. BUT, they both deserve a separate mention because they are super important to your skin and overall well being. If you choose The Ultimate Skin Transformation Program™, then we focus on ways to help you to reduce your stress and improve your sleep. 

​

Cortisol, your stress hormone wrecks havoc in your body. It’s your fight/flight/freeze response and your system is flooded with excess cortisol and adrenaline that you don’t need when you are stressed. It shuts down and suppresses process in your body, as it’s primary concern is to keep you safe.  And who  needs glowing skin and good digestion when you’re running from a lion!?   Stress often goes hand in hand with poor sleep. Your body needs you to rest and sleep, as this is when your repair systems kick in, working their magic as you sleep. If you’re not sleeping, then this doesn’t happen
