MY SKIN STORY
I absolutely love everything skin! My passion is electric, it’s my world and I want to share it with you. You see, healthy radiant skin is for us all, whatever stage we are at in life. During the transition and beyond it brings renewed positivity and confidence.
Our skin reflects our own personal life experience and journey. Whether its smile or frown lines, sun damage or acne scarring, it forms a part of us and our natural beauty and we need to embrace the changes we see.
My skin story began beneath the dazzling sun of the Indian subcontinent where I spent the first 18 years of my life. From the earliest days I can remember the relentless hot sun and the bright glare that made my eyes scrunch. There was no UV protection and we rarely wore sunhats. There was certainly no education on the long term impact of UV sun damage on our skin and we would lie for many hours beneath the blistering rays.
Following on from my very fulfilling career in dental health I am excited to have pivoted into menopause and skin health. This has truly become a passion! My scientific background gives me a unique professional standing and lead as I delve deep into skin knowledge. Skin had always been there on every client looking back at me, but my eyes had not been trained to notice its condition and changes until I realised our important role in the early detection of skin cancer. This plunged me headfirst into deeper skin science education. We as skin specialists are in a prime position to make that life changing referral for our clients.
A little known factor is that menopause directly impacts our dental health. That same depleting oestrogen that affects the rest of our body during the transition also influences the health of our gums, making good care essential.

My passion for menopause skin health within my niche for pro age skincare and treatments continues to grow. My story is unique and sets me apart as I combine my scientific dental health education and experience with my in-depth knowledge of skin and how it works.
Throughout our teenage years we did all the wrong things; we slathered on baby oil and baked to a crisp, squeezed our pimples, scrubbed our faces and stripped all the skins goodness with strong soaps and acne creams. We know so much more now about how we need to gently nurture and protect our skin.
Bringing up my three sons had its fair share of challenges! Years followed where my skincare routine was basic and there was little time for myself. Our home was a hub of energy and activity and from time to time I would grab a spa facial and relax in that precious moment!
Later on, my teenage sons would experience acne and endure months of daily antibiotics, the only remedy offered to them. The angry red spots dented their confidence and we must have tried every acne solution available to us at the chemist. In the end, it was my makeup concealer stick that saved the day. Now the spots have long faded and for them this phase is a distant memory.
But let's just ask ourselves a couple of questions. How much do you really know about caring for and maintaining healthy skin? Have you ever felt overwhelmed with the list of products you've been presented with after a facial? Were you ever confused with the many ingredients being advised such as retinol, hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, niacinamide to name just a few, and never know which you should use or why or when?
Now I'd love to help you make sense of these questions, to understand what is really right for you and how you can achieve the healthy radiance you've always longed for. I am so excited to share my experience with you, and would love to help you on your own personalised journey to transformation that begins with your 360 consultation in my calming home spa. You see, great skin is a journey and a complete inside out approach, it never just happens with one bottle of cream off the shelf.
