SPF won’t save you from your past.
But it can protect your future.

You can’t undo the sunlight your skin collected in your teens, your 20s, or every “just a little colour” holiday.
That UV exposure didn’t disappear, it was stored, molecule by molecule, inside your DNA, collagen, and pigment cells.

In dermal science we call this photoaging, a slow, invisible process where ultraviolet light (UVA + UVB) causes oxidative stress, breaks collagen, and overstimulates pigment cells.
Recent studies confirm that up to 80 % of visible ageing — lines, uneven tone, loss of firmness comes not from time, but from the sun (Avila et al., 2022; Shin et al., 2023).

For those with acne scars, melasma or post-inflammatory pigmentation, UV exposure doesn’t just age the skin it reactivates inflammation.
Melanocytes release excess melanin to shield damaged cells, making scars appear darker and pigmentation more resistant to treatment.
Unprotected light can undo weeks of clinical progress.

And while sunscreen today can’t erase the decades before it, it can stop the sequel.
Daily SPF 50+ protection prevents new oxidative injury, allows scar tissue to remodel evenly, and supports collagen renewal when paired with dermal-level interventions.

At La Pelle Skin & Health, our work is about more than fading pigment or refining texture, it’s about helping you understand what your skin has lived through, and how to help it heal.
We combine evidence-based repair (needling, LED, fractional laser, barrier + antioxidant therapy) with education, so you can protect what’s been rebuilt.

Because discipline, not damage control, creates the long-term glow in your skin health!

Save this as a reminder for your future self 🖤
Protect. Repair. Renew.

“Consider it pure joy… whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.” — James 1:2–3

Sarah’s story is one of resilience, faith, and God’s unshakable grace. Behind this achievement were trials that many didn't see but tested her faith. One day she will be ready to share the knockbacks, extra hours, late nights, tears and more. Through perseverance she has grown into a woman and clinician whose heart beats for others.

At La Pelle, we believe healing is more than skin-deep. It’s about walking through the valley with faith and stepping into the victory God has prepared. Sarah’s journey reminds us that every challenge can become a testimony when God is a part of the story.

✨ Here’s to trials turned into triumphs, and to the mission that continues beyond the skin, into the heart. Congratulations to our founder and now official graduated Nurse and Midwife Sarah!

Piercing rejection isn’t rare. It’s just rarely explained well…

Piercing rejection happens when your body sees the jewellery as a threat and slowly works to expel it.
Unlike an infection, rejection often looks like:
• Thinning skin over the jewellery
• Flattening or crooked angles
• No pus , just tight, red, itchy skin
• The bar becoming more visible

⸻

What can help (early-stage support):

✔ Sterile saline cleansing
✔ Barrier-supportive creams (non-medicated) la pelle serum and balm .pelle.skincare
✔ Low-level light therapy (LED)
✔ Avoiding friction, trauma, or pressure
✔ Monitoring for signs of infection or granulation
✔ Referral to GP or piercer if removal is needed

⸻

We’re here to help you figure it out, gently, professionally, and without judgement.

Book a skin consult with our dermal clinicians or DM us with your questions.
You’re not alone in this. And your skin deserves peace.
