Skin Boosters

What they are

Skin boosters are injectable treatments designed to deliver hydration and improve skin texture. Commonly used on the face, neck and hands, they offer subtle rejuvenation. Mild swelling or redness may occur but resolves within a day.

Types

Hyaluronic Acid-Based (e.g., Profhilo): Improves hydration and elasticity.

Biostimulatory Boosters (e.g., Sunekos): Stimulates collagen and elastin.

Benefits

Skin boosters enhance hydration, texture and overall radiance.

Skin Barrier

What it is

The skin barrier, or stratum corneum, is the outermost layer of the skin that acts as a protective shield. Composed of skin cells held together by lipids, it prevents water loss and shields against environmental aggressors such as pollution, irritants and microbes.

How it works in skincare

A compromised skin barrier can manifest as redness, dryness, sensitivity or even breakouts. Common culprits include over-exfoliation, harsh cleansers and environmental factors such as cold weather or pollution.

Rebuilding the skin barrier involves prioritising hydration and nourishment. Ingredients such as ceramides, fatty acids and hyaluronic acid are excellent for barrier repair. Gentle cleansing and avoiding overly drying or irritating products are also key steps in recovery.

A strong skin barrier is essential not just for skin health but also for ensuring other skincare products work effectively. Maintaining this layer is the foundation for any effective skincare routine.

Skin Cycling

What it is

Skin cycling involves rotating active ingredients in your skincare routine over several days to avoid irritation and maximise benefits.

How it works in skincare

For example, one night might focus on exfoliation, the next on retinoids, followed by recovery days with hydrating products.

This method allows the skin to repair itself while still reaping the benefits of powerful actives.

Skin cycling is ideal for beginners or those prone to sensitivity, providing a structured way to achieve glowing healthy skin.
