Pip’s journey is an excellent example of what happens to the skin when combining conventional skincare with weak formulations, wrong skin care treatments, and protocols + throw in a dose of Doxycycline ...

It demonstrates that applying a corneotherapeutic approach for this skin can turn around perioral dermatitis and the skin barrier. It contributes to a positive effect on other skin conditions such as poor corneocyte compaction, leading to an even distribution of pigment and a well-functioning skin barrier. During pregnancy, perioral dermatitis has flared up, more aggressive than previous times, which in turn caused more stress ⟶ a contributing factor. Previous skincare treatments were not supportive and completely stripped her skin barrier, becoming susceptible to external and harmful substances causing inflammation and discomfort.  

The before and after photo shows using the right approach in selecting minimal products but correct ingredients, the barrier started to recover rapidly, making the skin comfortable straight away for the client. Small steps needed to make progress with soothing the skin and reducing inflammation, the transition to further home care, and treatments are made easy.

Pip first came for a skin analysis 1 st June. She had suffered severely from perioral dermatitis in the past. She had a long journey with Doxycycline [an antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections] as well as using a mixture of cosmetics + having different facial treatments with her regular beauty therapist.

The skin got to a point; it was causing incredible discomfort with itching and pain. Pip, at the time, was eight months pregnant. Her appearance affected her confidence, and she felt incredibly embarrassed.

Her internal health needed looking after as well as her skin & a referral to a naturopath was made to help the internals. Refraining of all other cosmetics and support with MAX + LED treatments was needed to decrease the inflammation. 

The home care regime had to be changed around frequently to help with the rapid changes that were happening in the skin.
Pip's skin journey is still very active, and she is looking forward to continuing her next steps.
