Breakouts in adult skin are rarely just about oil. Hormones, stress, diet, the wrong products and an over-stripped barrier all play a part, and often several at once.
By the time clients come to me in Edinburgh, many have already tried harsher and harsher products. The skin is usually more reactive as a result, not less.
How I assess it
I look at when and where breakouts appear, what you are using on your skin, and what has been tried before. Patterns around the jaw and chin, or around your cycle, tell me a great deal.
How I approach it
The first step is often to simplify. A PRX Peel and the 3D Hydro2 Facial help to clear congestion. IPL can calm active inflammation. Homecare is chosen to settle the skin rather than strip it.
Once breakouts are under control, any marks or scarring left behind can be addressed.
Within a Skin Journey
Breakouts respond to consistency and regular review. Within a Skin Journey I can adjust quickly when something changes.
