Hands up who’s considering Dry January? Comment below!
We all like a drink at Christmas but excessive consumption of alcohol can wreak havoc on our skin. Here’s why I’m doing Dry January this year:
🍷Alcohol is a diuretic, so it steals moisture, leaving your skin looking dull, flaky, and less plump.
🍸Sugary mixers can drive inflammation, which can worsen conditions like acne, rosacea, and eczema.
🍹Alcohol depletes essential vitamins and minerals like vitamin A, vitamin C, and zinc, which are critical for skin repair and regeneration.
🥃 Alcohol interferes with quality sleep, and poor sleep often causes dark circles, puffy eyes, and a tired-looking face.
Are you giving Dry January a go?

DOUBLE-TAP if azelaic acid has transformed your skin (just like mine)!
I was *shocked* when @theindustrybeauty revealed the top searched skincare ingredients of 2024 and azelaic acid wasn’t riding high.
I know you’ve probably heard me talk about this ingredient once or twice before (!), but clearly I haven’t spoken about it enough because people are still missing out on my acid with an extra!
What can’t azelaic acid do?! Let’s look at the list of its many benefits:
✨reduces inflammation
✨fights acne
✨unclogs pores
✨gently exfoliates
✨evens skin tone
✨a powerful antioxidant
What’s more, it improves skin’s sensitivity and tolerance to actives so that you’ll often find you can tolerate ingredients like retinoids more easily with regular use.
Let’s get azelaic acid trending in 2025! Comment your questions about this amazing ingredient below 👇

Hands up who suffers with Christmas Skin 🙋♀️
From redness and puffiness to breakouts and dryness 😓 the festive season can really take its toll on your skin.
My top tips for saving your skin from the onslaught of carbs, sugar and booze:
✨ Introduce azelaic acid into your skincare routine to tackle redness and keep blemishes at bay.
💦 Keep your skin barrier supported with hydrating ingredients.
🫧 Stick to your 60-second single cleanse (whilst it may be tempting to cleanse twice to remove holiday glam it isn’t needed AND will damage your skin barrier!)
🧂Minimise your salt intake
😴 Get your sleep habits back on track.
🏃♀️ Get moving to reduce fluid retention and puffiness.
Don’t despair - you can get your skin back on track after the festive period of indulgence. Start now and you’ll be glowing in time for your New Year’s Eve festivities 🎉

GRWM using the fabulous Holiday Collection brushes by @gossmakeupartist 💄Gorgeous and feel-good, like the great man himself!
As requested, here is my midweek GRWM on what might just be the busiest night of the holiday season, Thanksgiving. I tried to squeeze in five events (I only managed 3 in the end) and had almost no time to get ready 😱
My quick fix in this situation is to remove make up below my lower eyelids so that I freshen up the areas that tend to crease or get shiny through the day, but I leave my eyebrow make up and lashes intact so I don’t make a mess trying to remove them. This allows me to freshen up my make up really quickly and allows me to go out feeling revived and ready for a Negroni or two.
Products used:
@drsamsskincare Flawless Moisturiser Intense
@merit The Minimalist Perfecting Complexion Stick
@tomfordbeauty Shade and Illuminate Contour Duo
@iliabeauty Multi-Stick Blush
@narsissist Radiant Creamy Concealer
@shiseido Controlled Chaos Mascara
@makeupbymario Master Mattes Eyeshadow Palette
@makeupbymario lip liner

DOUBLE TAP if this message resonates with you!
Skinvestment means approaching your skincare routine exactly like Warren Buffet approaches the stock market - invest in ingredients which will show you returns in the long-term and ignore anything faddy that promises a quick fix.
What’s more, the right ingredients will give you the skincare equivalent of compound interest - the more you use them, the greater the benefits will be.

DOUBLE TAP if you agree that Botox done right is the Quiet Luxury of tweakments 💉
In my opinion, good injectable treatments don’t scream “work done” Instead, they whisper “well-rested and thriving.”

Think you’re ready to upgrade your retinoid? Watch this 👆
Working out whether your skin is ready to upgrade to a stronger retinoid is actually very simple!
1️⃣Have you met your skin goals?
If YES then you should stick with your current retinoid. If you’re already getting the results you’re looking for then it means your retinoid is working for your skin. Your retinol journey is life-long so there is no need to increase the strength if your current retinoid is working for you.
But if you’ve still not met your skin goals, then proceed to question 2!
2️⃣Is my skin tolerant to my current retinoid?
If you haven’t met your skin goals and your skin is tolerant to your current retinoid then it may be time to increase the strength of your retinoid. However, if your skin hasn’t adjusted to the intensity of your current retinoid then stick with the lower strength product for at least 6 weeks.
