Is your skincare routine ready for spring? 🌸

As the seasons shift, so do the needs of your skin. Winter can leave it feeling dry, dull, or tired, but with spring comes the perfect opportunity to refresh, rebalance, and revive your skincare ritual.

We believe your routine should change with the rhythm of nature. Here's how to help your skin bloome this season:

✨ Lighten up – Swap rich winter creams for lightweight moisturisers made with ingredients like cucumber extract or apricot kernel oil. Your skin will love the hydration without the heaviness.

✨ Gently exfoliate – Buff away winter dullness with natural exfoliants like papaya extract or white willow bark to reveal smoother, brighter skin.

✨ Brighten & protect – Support a natural glow with liquorice root, mulberry extract, or sea buckthorn oil, and don’t forget your daily SPF to shield from spring sunshine.

✨ Add antioxidants – Boost your skin’s defences with botanical ingredients like pomegranate extract or blueberry seed oil, perfect for protecting against environmental stress.

Spring is a time for renewal and your skin deserves to feel as fresh and vibrant as the season itself. 🌿

The past couple of weeks have been incredibly heavy for the bloome by Donna Marie family. We’ve had to say goodbye to two beautiful souls whose lives were taken far too soon by cancer, and we’ve received the heartbreaking news of two more diagnoses among our close friends and extended bloome community. 💔
Our hearts go out to everyone affected, those we’ve lost, those fighting, and the loved ones standing by their side. We see you. We stand with you. And we support you in any and every way we can. 💙
Cancer is relentless, and moments like these remind us why awareness, early detection, and self-care are so important. Please, if something feels off, get checked. Prioritise your health. Listen to your body.
If you or someone you love is going through this battle, know that you are not alone. We are here, always. 💜

🌿 A healthy skin barrier is your first line of defence against dryness, irritation, and breakouts. As you may know, we believe in nourishing the skin with the power of plant-based, science-backed ingredients to keep it strong and resilient.

Dermatologist Dr Hassan Galadari highlights the importance of ingredients like ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and niacinamide to restore hydration effectively. On the flip side, over-exfoliation and excessive sun exposure can weaken the skin’s natural defences.

For those who love a natural approach, remedies like honey and aloe vera offer gentle, soothing benefits. Supporting your skin barrier isn’t just about hydration, it’s the foundation for that radiant, healthy glow we all crave.

🌟 AI & Skin Cancer Detection – A New Era of Early Diagnosis? 🌟

The world of skincare and health is evolving, and AI is leading the charge! With 94% accuracy, cutting-edge AI technologies are transforming skin cancer detection, offering earlier diagnoses, reducing healthcare costs, and improving patient outcomes. Given that skin cancer is the most common cancer globally, early detection is essential, especially when early-stage melanoma has a 95% five year survival rate.
Traditionally, dermatologists have been the gold standard in diagnosing skin cancer, but AI-powered solutions, like convolutional neural networks (CNNs), are now proving to be even more precise. This game-changing innovation could redefine how we approach skin health, offering faster, more accessible screenings for all.

✨ The future of early detection is brighter than ever a true beacon of hope.

💭 What are your thoughts? Would you trust AI for skin health checks, or do you believe human expertise should always take the lead? Let’s chat!

As we step into 2025 (Feb already! 😮 ) it’s exciting to see the skincare industry shifting towards science-backed, long-term skin health solutions; a philosophy we’ve championed at bloome by Donna Marie from the very beginning. ☺️

This year, skincare is all about longevity, simplicity, and barrier protection, ensuring that products work with your skin, not against it. The latest trends confirm what we’ve always believed: nourishing and strengthening the skin should come first.

Here are the six key skincare movements shaping 2025:

🔬 1. Skin Longevity Over Anti-Ageing

The industry is moving away from the outdated "anti-ageing" narrative towards preserving skin health for longer. The focus is now on cellular-level support, strengthening the skin barrier, and maintaining resilience over time.

✨ 2. Retinal: The Next-Gen Retinoid

Retinal (retinaldehyde) is stronger and faster-acting than traditional retinol, making it the new go-to ingredient for collagen production, skin renewal, and wrinkle reduction. However, due to its potency, gentle formulation and gradual introduction are essential.

👁 3. Advanced Eye Care Innovations

Eye creams are becoming more targeted and results-driven, addressing dark circles, puffiness, and fine lines with circulation-boosting and skin-fortifying ingredients. With the delicate eye area requiring specific care, these high-performance formulations are a rising priority.

💧 4. The Shift Towards Skin Barrier Repair

2025 skincare is about what we add to the skin, not just what we remove. Harsh exfoliation is making way for hydration, microbiome support, and skin-calming ingredients, ensuring that the skin stays healthy, resilient, and balanced.

🧴 5. Bodycare is Getting Smarter

Advanced skincare isn’t just for the face anymore. The bodycare industry is incorporating high-performance ingredients to tackle concerns like dryness, uneven tone, and loss of elasticity, ensuring full-body skin health becomes part of daily routines.

🔄 6. Simplified Skincare Routines

Overcomplicated, multi-step skincare routines are being replaced by streamlined, multi-functional products that deliver hydration, brightening, and protection in fewer steps. The focus is shifting to quality over quantity—choosing fewer but better products.

Reading about these trends has been incredibly exciting, as many of them are already at the heart of our formulations.

Our approach to skincare has always been about effective, multi-functional products that deliver results without the need for excess.

We’re thrilled to see the industry moving in a direction that aligns so closely with bloome by Donna Marie’s philosophy. Skincare isn’t just about trends; it’s about understanding what the skin truly needs and delivering it in the best way possible.

Six Years Without You, But Your Light Still Guides Us 💛

Today marks six years since we lost our beautiful Donna Marie to melanoma. Six years since we said goodbye to the woman who was the heart of our family, our inspiration, and the soul behind what we now call bloome by Donna Marie.

Losing her was a heartbreak that words can’t fully describe. Donna Marie was a woman of extraordinary grace, kindness, and resilience. Her laughter lit up every room, and her love for life touched everyone she met. But more than anything, she was the one who taught us the importance of taking care of ourselves, of each other, and of our skin—the body’s first line of defence.

Her battle with melanoma was a fight filled with courage and determination, but also one that brought us face-to-face with the reality of how fragile life can be. It opened our eyes to the importance of skin health, protection, and education—things we never want anyone else to overlook.

That’s why bloome by Donna Marie exists. It’s not just a skincare line; it’s her legacy. Every jar we create carries her story, her strength, and her spirit. It’s our way of keeping her light alive while spreading awareness about skin health, self-care, and the importance of protecting what matters most.

On this anniversary, we want to honor her by reminding everyone to take care of their skin, to listen to their bodies, and to never ignore the little things that could make a big difference. Wear sunscreen, check your skin regularly, and talk to loved ones about the importance of prevention.

Donna Marie’s story is one of love and resilience, and it’s one we hope continues to inspire others to prioritize their health and well-being. She may no longer be with us physically, but her legacy shines through everything we do.

Thank you for supporting us, for sharing her story, and for helping us keep her memory alive. Here’s to Donna Marie—a light that will never fade. 💛

With love,
The bloome by Donna Marie Family
