Why I include supplements in every Skin Journey

Skin is not a surface. It is a reflection of what is happening internally, in the gut, in the immune system, in the body's inflammatory responses.

A facial can improve what I see. It cannot address what is driving it.

There is a ceiling to what topical treatment can do on its own.

I have been practising for over 30 years, and one of the clearest patterns I see is this: clients who support their skin from within respond differently in the treatment room. Their skin recovers more readily, holds results for longer, and tends to behave more consistently between appointments. That is not a coincidence.

This is why supplements are not an optional addition to a Skin Journey. They are part of the programme.

When I design a Skin Journey for a client, I am thinking about every layer of what influences their skin — not just what I do in the treatment room, but what happens in the weeks between appointments. The home care and supplementation I prescribe are as considered as the treatments themselves. They extend the work. Without them, the programme is incomplete.

The reason I work exclusively with Forlle'd is that their approach reflects this thinking. The formulations are clinically grounded, the active concentrations are meaningful, and the philosophy — that skin responds to sustained, intelligent support rather than quick intervention — aligns precisely with how I practise. I would not recommend anything to a client that I did not believe in clinically, and I do not.

If you are curious about what a structured, inside-out approach to your skin could look like, the right place to begin is a consultation. That is where we assess what your skin genuinely needs — and build a plan around it.
