sun protection I’ve ever used. Smell gorgeous
and applies like a dream.
We talk at length about my personal
cleansing, moisturising and general skin
habits. As I rang off she promised me that a
bag full of goodies, personalised to my skin
and to my personal skin goals, would be
leaving their clinic later that day.
She also packed a SkinCeuticals blemish and
age cleansing gel for mornings and nights,
which would help decongest the skin to leave
it flake and grease free.

In a follow up email Chloe told me that she
had mixed a personalised moisturiser called
Dermaviduals Prescriptive High Classic,
which contains vitamin A for anti aging,
vitamin C for lightening and brightening of
the skin. It also strengthens the capillary
walls and is known for its antioxidant
properties. The moisturizer also contains Kiwi
seed oil for its omega 3 and 6 properties and
some hyaluronic acid for its plumping effect.
She also packed a matt finish broad spectrum
32 SPF sun cream. I insisted it had to be matt
finish. So many sun blocks just sit on your

pig look. The sun cream was the oil free

Also in my package was a 0.3 mm dermaroller
for at home use. She tells me to use it every
other night for three minutes, starting with
light pressure until I build confidence. Every

am a fan of dermaroller treatments, but doing
it at home, without a anesthetic is only just
about tolerable I won’t lie, but as they say, no
pain, no gain.
So a month on, how am I looking? Well my
skin feels well hydrated without being greasy,
my face pain threshold has increased from all
that dermarolling and I finally I have the sun
prevention that I’ve been longing for. Win win
and win.
