MODERN SKIN NOTES
___________
Clinical thinking for the Modern Skin Practitioner.
Becoming a Modern Skin Practitioner isn't a solo journey
Â
The part of SBS that no one talks about enough is not the lessons, but what happens between them.
Â
When Skin Therapists ask me what SBS is like, they usually want to know about the content. The modules, the science, the clinical reasoning.
And yes, the course itself is comprehensive. In-depth...

What Roaccutane doesn't fix (and why acne came back)
Â
A question landed in our coaching call this week that I haven't been able to stop thinking about. It's one of those questions that sounds simple on the surface, but actually gets to the heart of everything we do.
Â
My student's client was in her early 30s. Had been on Roaccutane years ago whic...

PCOS has got a new name: [PMOS] But what does this mean?
Â
PCOS has been renamed. After apparent years of global consultation, The Lancet published a paper officially renaming polycystic ovary syndrome to PMOS - polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome. A full-body syndrome. Not just something happening to the ovaries - yay!
Â
It even prompted me to p...

Why acne comes back (what the research actually says)
Can I ask you something?
When a client comes back to see you - months after their skin finally cleared and it's all started again... what do you do?
If your answer involves a slight internal panic and a lot of "let's look at your routine again," you're not alone. This is one of the moments skin t...

Why I don't Teach Supplements Inside SBS
A client asks you: "What supplements should I be taking for my skin?"
And you feel it, don't you? That pressure. That expectation.
Supplements are everywhere right now. On Instagram. In podcasts. Every influencer has a morning routine featuring twelve bottles. Your clients are asking about them....

The Missing Piece I Spent 15 Years Finding
I spent years working out what was missing from my own skin. Then I trained as a Nutritional Therapist to find the answer — and discovered it still wasn’t enough.
I had acne first, in my twenties. I cycled through clinics, dermatologists,products, peels — including peels that hurt so much I’d sit...

Calm Skin [BONUS lesson ] The Stress–Pigmentation Connection: A Missing Piece in the Puzzle
For a long time, pigmentation has been taught as a largely topical issue.
We’re told it’s genetic.That it’s bad luck.That it’s caused by too much sun.
And that the solution is strong actives, peels, lasers, wide-brim sun hats, and patience.

Calm Skin [lesson 3]: How to explain stressed skin (to make your job sooo much easier!)
This is my favourite part - because this is where real change starts.

Calm Skin [lesson 1]: When skin flares, it’s rarely random
If you’ve been in clinic a while and increasingly thinking, “Why am I seeing so many red, reactive, inflamed skins?” - you’re not imagining it.
Stress is one of the most consistent threads I see running through acne, rosacea, perioral dermatitis, eczema and chronically sensitised skin. And not al...
