Updated monthly with Louise's hot take on skin trends, seasonal skincare tips, and in depth information on the impact of hormones, lifestyle and diet on acne (plus so much more)!
If you feel like you’ve been doing everything right for your skin, like using the recommended products, drinking more water, trying to clean up your diet, and your acne still isn’t settling, this is for you!
One of the leading causes of acne that I see all the time in clinic and which often gets overlooked is stress.
By the time January comes around, most people are absolutely knackered after Christmas, NYE and the general pressure of “New year new me”! The nervous system has been running on adrenaline for weeks, sleep hasn’t been great, and the body hasn’t had much chance to reset. From a skin point of view, it’s a recipe for disaster.
At The Skin Specialist in Lanarkshire, I work with clients every day whose acne didn’t truly improve until we addressed stress, cortisol levels, and nervous system dysregulation.
