It was 2012 and I was climbing the corporate career ladder at a FTSE 100 company. I was working with exciting brands like Durex, I was travelling the world with work and I even had the honour of presenting to our CEO (about sex toys 😅).

And through all of this success I felt fantastically horrible in my skin.

I was sitting in 'adult meetings' feeling like a spotty teenager no one would take seriously.

Wondering if my oil slick of a T-zone was melting off my makeup.

Feeling ashamed and embarrassed when a presentation brought on a lobster red rosacea flare.

I didn't know who to turn to for help.

I felt silly, ridiculous & vain for caring so much about my skin.

But one day I knew something had to change. The health of my skin was wrecking my confidence & my self-esteem. If I didn't do something about it now, it was only going to get worse.

So with sweaty palms & a racing heart I went to see a pharmacist.

With beautifully clear skin he says to me, 'There's nothing that can be done about acne or rosacea. You're just going to have to accept and live with it'.

It felt like a dagger was plunging deep into my heart.

Nothing was ever going to help me get clear skin. I'm going to be stuck like this forever.

Dear friend, this was my mark in the sand. The moment I said to myself - I do not accept this. My skin's been clear, balanced & healthy before it can be clear, balanced & healthy again.

And so I dove into published & proven science papers, I read dermatology textbooks till my eyes were sore, I retrained as a cosmetic formulator and I trialled everything I read.

And guess what... I finally took back control of my skin health. I finally got clear and I finally started to feel like me again.

Now I'm here helping women like you to heal from acne, skin sensitivity and to age well because I don't want you to feel lost, hopeless and helpless like I once did. I get how the health of your skin can be confidence-crushing. It's my mission to help you get healthy, happy skin you feel amazing in.
