If your skin is congested...
Salicylic acid might be the missing step in your routine 👀

Our dermal clinician Galini breaks it down 👇

Salicylic acid is oil soluble- meaning it can actually get inside the pore and dissolve the gunk that’s sitting in there (bye congestion 😌)

But not all salicylic acid products are the same. Which is why we LOVE
It bypasses the barrier and gets straight to work inside the pore without irritation and barrier disruption….

Not sure if it’s right for your skin or how to use it?

Some people obsess over tech stacks - we obsess over treatment stacks ✌️And this one is a hot fave!

+ Aerolase
+ Extractions
+ Needling

What’s your fave treatment (or tech!) stack? 👇

Yeah... we might just send you an email recap! 😜👀

OK, WE NEED TO TALK 👀
We know… cleaning your makeup brushes is a tad tedious….
But bacteria builds up on makeup brushes FASTER than the banks hike rates after an RBA announcement (😅) and that contributes to congestion and breakouts…. Not fun!

CliniPrep Hypochlorous Acid is our hot tip for quick in between disinfectant ✌️

Hypochlorous Acid also:

✅ Normalises the number of C Acnes bacteria (less breakouts)

✅ Calms inflammation + redness

✅ Strengthens the skin barrier

✅ Reduces overgrowth of staphylococcus aureus (for you if you have eczema or rosacea!)

✅ For the same reason as above it also helps prevent breakouts post needling (which are mainly caused by an increase of staphylococcus as needling reduces the p acnes colony)
It’s about balance - not destroying bacteria…

👉Spritz on some Cliniprep between brush cleans, after needling, after gym, when your cat scratches you…. Pretty much any time 😁

Eczema isn’t just “dry skin.”

It’s leaky, inflamed, overreactive skin.
It’s your skin barrier + immune system reacting to everything...including food.

Not because food is the cause.
But because it amplifies inflammation.

And the biggest drivers of inflammation?
👉 Blood sugar spikes
👉 Histamine responses

Swipe to see some of the most common triggers →

Don’t:
❌ cut gluten, dairy, sugar, wine and cheese just because …
Do:
✅ Identify patterns
✅ Trial targeted elimination
✅ Reintroduce and observe
✅ Treat barrier + inflammation at the same time.

HOT TAKE 🔥 Let’s talk exfoliation…

As you will know if you’ve followed us for a while, you’ll know our stance on exfoliation. It hasn’t changed since the beginning of HÜD 11 years ago…

Too much and on the wrong skin? Red hot mess….😩
Red. Hot. Stingy. Everything feels wrong…
And ironically, when using too much acids your skin actually STOPS the natural exfoliation process!

Fact:

70% of clients we see have a barrier which is compromised - and it’s mostly due to society’s obsession with “glass skin”.

The fact is, when your barrier is impaired it might take weeks or months before we’re able to step up your corrective treatment.

So many give up during that process because there’s a bit of oil coming through. Some temporary breakouts as that oil stabilises. And the skin is no longer looking shiny and glowy.

But the truth is, this phase is temporary- and will save you down the track! Because we’ll be able to correct more and step up your actives without your skin throwing a hissy fit.

So before you feel tempted to add yet another acid to your routine,chat to your dermal therapist!

YEP - your pigment WILL come back 😩 even with the best of lasers. It’s a constant work in progress and here’s why:

Your skin has tiny pigment cells called melanocytes.

These cells have tentacles 🐙 that release parcels of pigment every time they’re under attack from the sun, physical trauma - even stress 😭

Sometimes those tentacles become stiff instead of nice and flexible.

Flexible = even tan (still damage!)
Stiff = big spurts of brown spots.

Yeah it’s fun….

But there are ways to keep things under control!

Here’s what we recommend:
🎯 Control stress levels
🎯 Use SPF EVERY DAY (even when in the office… blue light is a silent trigger!)
🎯 Use an inhibitor (Melanotech Drops)
🎯 Take a daily high quality EFA supplement to keep those tentacles supple (we prefer DMK’s EFA Ultra)
🎯 Don’t overuse acids! Low level inflammation from an impaired barrier means constant pigment activation.
🎯 Use a daily brightener combined with Vitamin A (Superbright alternating with Revitosin is a killer combo!)

What tips have you found to be working to maintain your pigment results? 👇

SPILLING THE TEA with Ruby + Emma ☕️👯‍♀️ Think all lasers are the same? Think again 👀

And we actually prefer it if you leave the choosing to us ✌️

At HÜD, our Dermal Therapists match YOUR skin to the right treatment... not the other way around.

It all comes down to what your skin actually needs – like which layer of the skin we’re working on – AND your barrier, sensitivity, triggers… and everything in between 😎
