Cosy fire 🔥 you were good but were sick of yaaaah! 🏄‍♂️ 🌊 🌞

You know I’m always nagging you about SPF.

And there’s a BLUMMIN good reason.

If you are investing in toxins, fillers, polynucleotides, biostimulators or exosomes… but not wearing daily broad spectrum SPF 50+, you are quite literally flushing part of your money down the loo.

At Glass Skin, we stock IMAGE Skincare Daily Prevention SPF 50+ because it isn’t just “a sunscreen.” It’s advanced environmental defence. THINK OF THIS LIKE THE ROOF OF YOUR HOUSE.

This range protects against:

• UVA + UVB (photoageing + burning)
• Blue light (HEV) from screens
• Infrared radiation (collagen breakdown)
• Pollution and oxidative stress

not only that, it protects against heat, so absolutely essential for those with Melasma!

Formulated with the patented XOSM™ technology, it delivers antioxidants and barrier supporting ingredients directly where they are needed, helping to reduce free radical damage and premature collagen degradation.

It is:

Broad spectrum SPF 50+
Water resistant (80 minutes)
Non comedogenic
Lightweight and breathable
Safe post procedure
Ideal for sensitive and melasma prone skin
Never treated on animals
Skin Cancer Association approved
Leaves no white cast (on all skin tones)
Available in clear and tinted (smart blend to compliment your tone)

Now, options:

The clear ultra defence moisturiser
Perfect for men and women. Sits beautifully under make up. No pilling. No heaviness. No white cast.

The tinted smartblend mineral moisturiser
A mineral based formula that adapts to your skin tone. Ideal for swapping out foundation. Brilliant for melasma, hyperpigmentation and anyone managing pigment long term, because mineral filters reflect light rather than converting it to heat, which matters when we’re controlling inflammation.

If you’re on a regenerative pathway with me, this is not optional.
It is maintenance. It is protection. It is insurance on your collagen bank.

SPF is not about the weather, or the season. We are future proofing your skin here.

If you’re unsure which one suits you best, ask at your next appointment, I will absolutely nag you in person as well.

Women's History Month 2026

10/03/2026

I’ve been sitting on this idea for a while.

Every day in clinic I meet people who tell me the same thing in different ways:

“I don’t want to look younger… I just want to look like myself again.”

That moment, when someone stops recognising their own reflection, is something we almost never talk about honestly.

So I’ve started writing about it.

My first Substack article explores:

• ageing and identity
• the psychology of the mirror
• why looking after yourself can sometimes feel like a quiet rebellion

It’s called:

Women, Ageing and the Radical Act of Looking After Yourself

If that sounds like your kind of conversation, you can read it here 👇

See you over there,
