The girl in the images is my little girl, a tender beauty only 6 years old. Her pretty porcelain face, fair complexion and red hair - a nightmare when it comes to UV damage Maybe I'm slightly more obsessed with her skin because of my career, but I feel its important that EVERYONE take note of the damage UVA and UVB rays cause.

I pride myself on teaching my little angel to apply her SPF50 every morning before school and on the weekends I have her dad trained to re-apply it every 2 hours, when I'm at work revising other skins and can't oversee her skincare regime!

This image was taken with the Observ520x skin scanner, with the first picture showing her skin in natural daylight. Then, to my horror, the UV damage sitting beneath the skin surface. Imagine, I have been as diligent as I can with protecting her from the sun. However, even us skin nerds get caught out. Our time in the Queensland climate for the first 3 years of her life may have exposed her to more chance of pigmentation, but even on the cloudy days I swear...

YOU NEED TO RE-APPLY your SPF!

Sometimes at school or day-care, perhaps there hasn't been that re-application, and that's beyond my control unless I physically scoot back up to school and smother her wee face in SPF! To everyone with a face, protect yours. Protect theirs. Harmful UV rays don't just cause freckles and age-spots. Yes, CANCER. Don't let your skin become vulnerable and fragile, when it can be so easily protected.

Some key points to soak up :

Wear a minimum SPF30 everyday.
Re-apply every 2 hours.
Wear it even on a cloudy day.
You ARE exposed in the car or by the window you sit at alllll day in the office.
Don't forget your hands, arms.. Anything exposed!
Don't wait for the week in Spain to wear it... We burn here too, even if you can't see or feel the damage. This image is proof!
Lastly, damage is there forever. We can treat skins to lighten or brighten the appearance of pigmentation, but the true damage to our DNA is irreversible.

Why It's Worth Exploring The Holistic Approach

September 30, 2022

Intuition is an amazing ability to know something without having proof, but we question everything and more often than not, we ignore that ‘gut feeling’ and there is much reason as to why we refer to intuition as going with our gut. Our gut, you see, it is our second brain.

"It's a time to tune into your body and embrace the new chapter"...

Menopause by definition is when a woman stops having periods, a natural process that can happen between the age of 45 - 55.

It can be a time that many women fear or even dred and feel unsure about.

However, as we live in a world that shares a lot more information, the once taboo, not talked about topics are now realised as being critical and normal parts of life, that should and need to be discussed, without shame or prejudice.

If a musical instrument is out of tune, it sounds bad. It can ruin a live performance and it isn't so easy on the ears! And what happens in this situation? Well, a muso quickly tunes up their guitar or fiddle, does a little sound check and makes sure everything is a-o-k! No one would ever continue to play when their instrument is not working optimally, and who would pay to see a concert if the lead guitarist was totally off key?
