If you’ve tried everything and breakouts still return, it’s usually not your cleanser or serum. Acne is rarely surface level.

Over treating: Too many actives can damage the skin barrier. Chronic dryness triggers more oil production. Inflammation creates the perfect environment for acne to persist.

Lifestyle & environment: High stress increases cortisol and sebum output. Poor sleep and blood sugar swings disrupt skin repair. Gut health, nutrient deficiencies, and inflammation show up on the skin. Pollution and internal inflammation increase oxidative stress.

Hormones: Androgens stimulate oil production and pore congestion. Insulin resistance and blood sugar imbalance worsen breakouts. Cycle irregularities, PCOS, and thyroid dysfunction often drive recurring acne.

Clear skin comes from barrier repair and internal regulation, not stronger products.
When we treat acne through a naturopathic lens, addressing hormones, gut health, stress, and lifestyle, results become sustainable, not temporary.

If your acne keeps returning, your skin is asking for support, and nourishment, not huge treatments and expensive skincare. Book a consultation with us to get to the bottom of your acne.

Your skin responds to what you eat.

High sugar and dairy-heavy diets can activate hormonal pathways that directly influence acne development.

When foods that rapidly raise blood glucose are consumed, insulin levels increase. This stimulates IGF-1 and mTOR signalling, which promote sebaceous gland activity and accelerate keratinocyte proliferation. The downstream effects include:

- Increased sebum production
- Heightened inflammatory signalling
- Greater risk of follicular obstruction
- Increased likelihood of acne lesions

This does not mean that sugar or dairy will trigger acne in every individual. However, in acne-prone patients, these foods commonly act as metabolic and hormonal drivers.

Skin-supportive dietary strategies focus on:
Low glycaemic load carbohydrates, anti-inflammatory fatty acids (particularly omega-3s), adequate protein intake, high fibre intake, and optimising insulin sensitivity.

Acne should be understood as a systemic condition with cutaneous manifestations. Effective management requires addressing both topical factors and internal drivers, including nutrition, hormonal regulation, and inflammatory load.

SkinPen microneedling is one of the gold-standard treatments for glowing, healthy skin. It works by creating controlled micro-channels in the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin production, aka the building blocks of youthful skin.

- It helps reduce acne scars & pigmentation
- Smooths fine lines and texture
- Improves firmness and pore appearance
- Enhances product absorption
- Creates that fresh glow

This is not just a facial… it’s skin remodelling from the inside out.
Results get better with each session, and your future skin will thank you.

Infrared sauna paired with red-light therapy is a powerful combination for whole-body restoration.
The gentle infrared heat penetrates deeply into the tissues to support detoxification through sweating, improve circulation, ease muscle and joint tension, and promote metabolic and cardiovascular health.

Red-light therapy works at a cellular level to stimulate mitochondrial function, supporting collagen production, skin repair, reduced inflammation, and faster recovery.

Together, they help to:
- Support lymphatic drainage and detox pathways
- Reduce muscle soreness and joint pain
- Improve skin tone, texture, and collagen production
- Calm the nervous system and lower stress hormones
- Enhance circulation and oxygen delivery
- Support immune and metabolic health

This is more than a sweat session, it’s targeted light and heat therapy designed to restore balance from the inside out.

A calm gut is the foundation of calm skin, balanced hormones, and resilient immunity.

These bio-fermented gut elixirs are some of my most-used tools in clinic for clients presenting with inflammation, bloating, gut sensitivity, stress-driven symptoms, and skin concerns that just won’t settle.

- DeFlame supports the gut lining, microbial balance, and inflammatory pathways
- Calm supports the gut–brain axis, nervous system regulation, and stress resilience

When the gut is supported properly, we often see improvements far beyond digestion, clearer skin, better energy, improved mood, and more stable immune responses.

These are not “one size fits all” supplements. They are prescribed intentionally, based on your history, symptoms, and pathology where appropriate.

If you’re dealing with gut issues, chronic inflammation, skin flare-ups, or stress that feels stuck in your body, this is where we start.

We are currently sold out on DeFlame, but have the Calm syrup in stock and available through the online shop.

Skin doesn’t transform by chance, it responds to the right support, at the right time.

This is what happens when we prioritise barrier repair, inflammation control, and skin-cell communication rather than chasing quick fixes.
The focus is not perfection, but resilience: calming reactivity, supporting regeneration, and allowing the skin to do what it’s designed to do.

Every treatment in clinic is tailored to the skin’s current state, whether that’s congestion, sensitivity, post-inflammatory changes, or compromised barrier function. No over treatment. No “one size fits all” protocols.

Healthy skin is built, not forced.

If you’re ready for a more considered, results driven approach to skin health, bookings are open via the link in bio.

POV: when rest, radiance, and self-care make the holiday list before anything else.

Because glowing skin is not a luxury, it is maintenance. A facial is your pause button, your reset, your moment to soften the nervous system and restore the skin barrier before the rush begins.

If your idea of a getaway includes deep relaxation, intentional touch, and long-term skin health, you are doing it right.

Book your facial before you book the flight.
