“One of the biggest mistakes I see is how people apply skincare. Rubbing and dragging actually stress the skin barrier. That’s why I teach a gentle tapping method with Cell Defence™ serums. It respects skin physiology, suits sensitive skin, and supports long-term skin health — which is always my goal.”

“Plant stem cells in skincare are everywhere right now — but what actually matters isn’t hype. It’s formulation, skin physiology, and how you use them. In Cell Defence™, I use plant stem cell extracts like grape, lilac and centella because they support skin defence, inflammation control and resilience — not because they promise miracles. Healthy skin isn’t about forcing pe*******on. It’s about protecting skin at a cellular level.”

Why How You Apply Skincare Matters
This might surprise you…
How you apply your skincare can make just as much difference as the product itself.
I often see people rubbing or dragging their skin quite firmly — especially around the eyes and cheeks — and over time that friction can actually weaken the skin barrier.
That can show up as:
• redness
• sensitivity
• inflammation
• reactive or thinning skin
Skin isn’t just a surface — it’s living tissue with immune cells, stem cell zones and follicles. It deserves to be treated gently.
That’s why I teach the Cell Defence™ Skin Tapping Method.
Not to “push products in”…
but to:
✔ encourage circulation
✔ distribute product evenly
✔ avoid friction
✔ respect the barrier
It’s softer, smarter, and especially beautiful for sensitive, hormonal or aging skin.
Little habits like this make a big difference over years — not days.
If you’d like me to show you exactly how to apply your serums correctly for your skin type, we cover this inside my Under-the-Skin Consultations.

Lilac, Grape & Centella — Why These Stem Cells Matter
Every ingredient in Cell Defence™ has a purpose.
Nothing is there for marketing.
Everything is there because I’ve seen it work on real skin.
After decades treating acne, rosacea, fragile capillaries, menopausal skin and sensitive skin, I wanted botanicals that genuinely support skin physiology.
Here’s why these three are so special:
🌿 Grape stem cells — powerful antioxidant protection against environmental and UV stress
🌸 Lilac stem cells — beautifully calming for inflammation and reactive or acne-prone skin
🌱 Centella stem cells — supportive for barrier repair, hydration and capillary strength
Together they help skin feel:
• calmer
• stronger
• more resilient
• naturally plump
This isn’t about chasing youth or extremes.
It’s about aging with healthy, supported skin.
And when skin is healthy — it naturally looks radiant.
If you’re unsure which serum suits your skin most, I’d love to guide you personally.

Lilac, Grape & Centella — Why These Stem Cells Matter
People often ask me…
“Why those particular plant stem cells, Charmaine?”
Because every ingredient in Cell Defence™ has a purpose.
Nothing is there for trend or marketing.
After decades treating real skin — acne, rosacea, menopausal skin, fragile capillaries, post-surgery skin — I wanted botanicals that truly support skin physiology.
Here’s why these three matter:
🌿 Grape — antioxidant protection + UV stress defence
🌸 Lilac — beautiful anti-inflammatory support (amazing for reactive or acne-prone skin)
🌱 Centella — capillary strength, hydration, barrier repair
Together they help skin:
• stay calmer
• stay stronger
• age more gracefully
• recover faster
This isn’t about chasing youth.
It’s about creating skin that looks healthy, resilient and alive at every age.
That’s always been my philosophy.
If you’re unsure which extract your skin needs most, I can personalise this for you.

“Not every symptom in women is menopause.
And not every hormonal change is a hormone problem.
I see women with bloating, reflux, fatigue, anxiety, sleep changes, skin flares…
who are told, ‘It’s just menopause,’ or ‘Your hormones are changing.’
But often, what’s really happening is long-term stress and burnout finally showing up in the body.” Many people assume fluctuating gut symptoms mean they’re eating the wrong foods.
In clinic, I often see something else.
When the nervous system is under pressure, digestion becomes unreliable — even with the same meals.
This doesn’t mean your gut is broken.
It means your body is under load.
Understanding why symptoms are happening matters more than chasing fixes. MenopauseMyths
